Because you always have to chime in with a snide comment or post towards something at least every so often on here even if it’s not necessarily directed at me lol and it’s quite annoying and it gets on my nerves pretty fast. There I said it, you happy now? Look you’re a smart dude, and a majority of the time you and I see eye to eye in general or sniff out the right idea when it comes to winter weather in some, way, shape, or form before most do and it’s a luxury I’m sure most on this forum want to keep. Just take a damn chill pill and enjoy your 7” of snow. If it makes you feel any better I had 2-3” of pure sleet today and virtually no snow, and it was miserable. me moving away from Raleigh and towards Charlotte could have something to do with a storm actually not busting for once in the Triangle lol.

And you do the same. You've made several condescending posts directly aimed at my thoughts and did I respond to you? No. The real issue is you don't like my posting style - direct, concise and at times, dry. I'm not on here to make friends (or enemies), I just post what I see about the patterns, and I openly admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong 7 or 8 days ago with my ideas about the storm being further north, but even then I was not speaking in definitives. It's your job to handle yourself when you get offended about a non-personal post that isn't about you, not mine. I challenge you or anyone else to show me when I have instigated a back and forth exchange on something you've said - I let you do you, and me do me. It's really that simple.

Edit: And I did do that today, but that's what I meant by "some of your own medicine". Otherwise, I have been keeping to my own lane and trying not to step on your toes or thoughts.
 
Does anybody think Ron Rivera should have a job at the end of this year? I would like to propose a truce between 1300 and Webber along with a bet. The bet is they start their own thread (make it happen mods) with no one else allowed to post on it. Then they write their take on the next storm (whenever that is)with specific cities they must forecast the storm totals, track, and temps for in those cities 48 hours before the event. The winner gets a steak dinner at a Ruth Chris with the board picking up the tab for the winner, I'll start and chip in $25.00 for the winner. Cities are Atlanta, Charlotte, W-S, Raleigh, Huntsville, Upstate of SC, Knoxville, Roanoke.

We definitely DO NOT want newcomers to go to American because of excessive bickering on this blog! Just take a damn chill pill and enjoy your 7” of snow.

Dude, I'm just going to say it, this is our unifying battle cry right here. I am 1000% in agreement with this. If we would actually get along, bring over a few leftover great posters from American, this would be the best weather forum going and the Southeastern American forum would fold like a cheap tent.

Yes I did and the reason I made those is it has a lot to do with your posting style which often comes across as really harsh/demeaning and our history plus how you respond to criticisms more than anything that bothers me. Quite frankly I shouldn’t be getting that mad about it because I do the exact same thing from time to time and let my emotions get the best of me.

It honestly, even though it's just two seasons out from the Super Bowl appearance, does not look like Dan Quinn should be allowed to return for next season. It's one thing to be bad, and it's another thing for the whole team to quit. I wouldn't be surprised if Blank fires him after this year, and if he's not fired, his seat is going to be ROARING hot.

At least Quinn never called a fake punt on 4th & 12.

It would have worked if the snap was faster.... I’ve be told? But the Atlanta curse was broken last night, going forward we win everything.

Last night was fantastic - was really proud of the United fans for turning out and rocking MB stadium like they did! It's too bad Martino is leaving; maybe Blank could have made him the next Falcons head coach.
 
Has anyone tried to get griteater to post here? The Mountain thread over there is a good one.

I still post there during storms because there are so many more posters close to my backyard.

I feel the thread over here started going downhill a bit once we knew some regions in GA and SC were going to miss out. I know we don’t have any sub forums here, but it can be a little hectic with so many areas represented when we are trying to hone in on a threat.

My two cents for now.
