That's what I'm doing here, Jeff. You didn't graduate from Texas either. He can respond for a debate. I called him out for dinging me on Kissinger. Maybe you shouldn't back  what you don't know.

I’m backing a co-worker who works his tail off because I saw someone hurl an unprovoked insult at him on a message board in which he didn’t participate.

You went to Texas and I didn’t. That’s a fact I can’t deny. I’m not sure what my education has to do with anything, but no, I didn’t graduate from Texas.

But it doesn’t give the right to be a jerk on the message board when nobody in this thread brought up the topic of Henry Kissinger until you did for the purpose of insulting a staff member.

You didn’t just insult him. You doubled down when there was no need to do so.

I’m done discussing it. Again, if you have an issue with Matt, take it up with and don’t take it public. I will stand up for my team members when I feel they’re being unjustly insulted.

It shouldn’t take a master’s degree from Texas to understand how to act like a grown up on a public forum.

The memes in particular are a waste of member's time and OTF bandwidth.  Especially when the image or video clips are repeated incessantly.

I do appreciate OTF members dialogue, but it is getting buried is repeated irrelevant images.

Going afer Matthew is wild!  People need to take a step back and breathe. This is suppose to be fun but people hanging their whole lifes worth on this thing is absurd.

What the hell is happening in here. How did this conversation devolve into israel? 

Your question was valid, Osas. Regardless of the muck, I, for one, appreciate any feedback meant to enhance the user experience.

Whenever I’ve worked with Bobby and Gerry in the past, we’ve always tried to listen to our members. We might not be able to make something happen, but the suggestion box is always open.

Civility applies both ways, Jeff. Ignorance isn't exactly a point of pride for the University of Texas. I'm a master degree holder from UT. Matthew isn't. 

I’m also a master’s degree holder from the University of Texas and that literally hold zero bearing here on a football message board. Personally attaching someone for not knowing a historical figure that you subjectively decided was important for him to know is absurd. I’m sure there are production and technical things that Matthew considers important and common knowledge that you wouldn’t know about. Perhaps consider civility as an opportunity to teach not attack. As a degree holder surely you’ll recall the core values at the University of Texas, if not here they are with details:

The University of Texas at Austin's (UT Austin) six core values are Learning, Discovery, Freedom, Leadership, Individual Opportunity, and Responsibility, emphasizing integrity, honesty, fairness, and respect for all members in upholding these principles for academic and personal growth, research, truth-seeking, excellence, diverse options, and positive societal impact. 

May I ask what purpose your attack served?

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to comment on the thread but not see the comments of others and only see the comments of the moderators?

Bobby, you guys could just edit your first comment with updates and time. No scrolling unless you want to see the most recent comments.

Example:

Jan 1, 2026/16:40: Update

So in so is expected to visit.

*******************************

Jan 5th, 2026/11:20: Update

BOOM! So and so just announced a commitment to Texas.

Correct. Make it optional so people can still post their dumb memes. An option like that would make life so much easier for me and others. 

Thank you for listening Bobby. Truly

Jeff, I meant to mention you as well initially but I couldn’t for the life of me find your @mention

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

OTF is A+ as always

Chumps like Matthew be chumps. I heard this exact version of Nelly while driving through Denver live on the radio about 6:00 am 27 June 2000 after Kobe killed Iverson on the way to Pinedale Wyoming on the way to my honeymoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_BUA9eFC4

Bumping this because it’s still applicable. I’m also a master’s degree holder from the University of Texas and that literally hold zero bearing here on a football message board.

Me too. I got nothing for nobody in terms of popularity for the next 300 years.

Same here.  As a reminder to the newbies, you can block people and their name only appears if someone you have not blocked quotes a blocked person's comments.
