And from the very first post in this thread:

So you say you only called him dumb for suing the band (and it's not even the band he's suing. It's the university.), but in your first post, the one that got this whole thing going, you called him dumb for trying to catch a pass that was out of bounds.
Which way is it? Do you always talk out both sides of your mouth, or can you just genuinely not remember what your stance is?
If you wanted to just gripe about the columnist, hey get after it. I think I already said he went overboard. But by calling the player dumb for running out of bounds and then saying something like this (as you did):

The BMB has our drum major podium well off the field of play and well behind the visitors' bench...if a guy runs out of bounds in a full sprint trying to catch a ball that's well out of bounds and get's hurt running into it, is it our fault? No, it's his fault since he ran into it and since it was off the field of play.
then you turn it into a direct Band vs. Football argument, not Band vs. Douche Columnist.
See where I'm coming from here? It sounds like a whole lot more than just wanting to gripe about what the guy wrote. You're either backtracking, or just really bad at conveying your thoughts.
