[quote author=ThePassionOfTheChryst link=topic=14252.msg150859#msg150859 date=1451862969]Anyone who has an opinion different from yours clearly has something wrong with them, right?

Where did I say that?

I've also yet to see anyone point out how any content in that show was offensive without wildly misunderstanding it to the point where I don't think they actually read it.

You said it here, actually:

Anyone who was upset about that halftime show was either:

1) Just upset about the outcome of the game and taking it out on the band; or:
2) A humorless buffoon.

There is an option 3: they were genuinely upset by what they saw.  That's ok with you, isn't it?

You must have a reading comprehension issue. Option #1 isn't implying that there's anything wrong with the person. Also, please point out how any reasonable person could be genuinely upset by the show. No one has done that and I can't see anything (unlike many of the band's past shenanigans, I get why BYU and ND fans hate them), so until that happens there's no option #3. Being upset by that show means you were either going to be upset about anything LSJUMB did, or you're a buffoon.

I'm not the least bit upset about the halftime show (or what I understand it to have been).  Generally, I love LSJUMB and understand that comedy sometimes can go flat or have other unanticipated impacts.  I would agree that those Iowa fans who got their knickers in a knot reacting to it fall into one of the two categories you identify.  I am put off by those here who refer to Iowans as a broad brush stereotype of witless boobs or fire-breathing, irrational, witless (intentionally repeated) fanatics.  Without doubt there do exist both those types in Iowa.  It is remarkable to me that people apply labels so gratuitously as though there are none of those types present here in the Holy Land.

Fair enough. Though, in general, I have an extremely big issue with those general types of posts, where you're calling out someone but it's not clear who, exactly. I think people should either quote them (or list them or something) or just not post. And this isn't just you, it happens an alarming amount of time on this board and seems to me to often just be someone tilting at windmills (though the sentiment you're talking about seems to be occurring here a bit).
