Kids, check it out. There is a subtle distinction between Barn and befriend. Stu's over the top, but he's a good guy. When 43 people line up to take shots at him, and I consider him a friend, I'll defend him. Could he tone it down sometimes? Sure. So could TJ and Billy. So could I. But absolutely tearing at somebody for several days in unnecessary and shouldn't be tolerated. Whatever your take on his motives or successfulness, Stu loves this game and tries to promote it. Not for a paycheck, but because he loves the game. That should be good enough most days. If you wanna start a hate thread, please do, but direct it at the guy that KEEPS making the rediculous Top Ten lists...

Do I hear a call for:

Top Ten Reasons to Hate Top Ten Lists

That's a thread I can get behind ... and be sure to have about 13 items on the list because of ties ;)

But make sure you don't have a reasonable top 10 list. Have the dumbest reasons to hate them at the top of this list and have the best reasons as runner ups.

Rian Fike is a good guy... that was never in contention. It's his online personality, stubarnes, that usually causes problems.

You are taking this way too seriously... we are having fun here... Stu actually asked for it with his opening "shots" and his disclaimer. If you don't like it... read another thread. You can check out the responses to TJ's TR and see stu befriending (read: barning) the same guys who were just capping on him on the barn thread this was based on.

There is actually a BIG distinction between barn and befriend. Have you done more than just met Rian Fike in person? Have you had a meal with him... met his family... been over to his house... hung out with him outside of a VS tournament? If you have... then I apologize for outing you as a barn... but seriously... that last post of yours really colors you more like "Barney" than "and Friends".

And since I'm back on topic again... can people barn each other? How do you decide which is the hull and which is the barn? And what about barns that have barns? Are they called hullicles?

erick, you only need to type my name one more time to get a prize!

I tried, it didn't work. Y'all sat there all night waiting for me to post in this thread... I know about the pool to see how long it would take.

Chris is a real friend, the kind of person who does not need to put himself "above" another human being to feel special.

erick needs the classification of "barn" to justify his existence.

No brainer.

In a thread where Billy posted.

#####.

And cmacbgoode was calling my crackbacks lame.

Welcome back stu (I win a prize!)... tired of barning the DT guys?

Really... you guys should check out stu's posts over there to see a true definition of barning. In the progenitor of this thread, he was telling strider119 that his parents made the wrong decision in having him as a child and over there he is worshipping him... even copying his trademark post signoff... great stuff.

I nub stu (bonus prize?).

I'm going back to the monastery now, it was really nice to be free of this stuff for awhile...

This is the most homo thread ever on the internet of all time. Lock it up before the fagwagon shows up to put all ya where you belong.

stu with friends like some of these you won't be needing any enemies!


maybe I am missing the point of being barned. I thought the intent was not to piss anyone off. I thought it was to just a sweet poke in the ribs.

this thread has turned more into a jerry springer show rather then the roast it should be.

Fan=Barn?

no more savage spaces...18 is a lucky number!

For the record, I was a Roy barn ... although he had a lot of success with the Avs.

Now all I can do is hate on the Dead Wings and the Make Me Laughs I guess ...

Oh God, I needed that.

This year? Sens. All the way. Heatley + Hasek = Best Season of All Time.

Amen,

Stu
