If those people would have gotten into my head about stuff, you would have been banned long ago.
And now you talk about the influx of young posters being "extremely insecure" and causing issues on the board. Well, take a look in the mirror and look at your posts in this thread and who's derailed it.
You're painting yourself as the mature adult, yet you're the one stirring it up in this thread, adding the "LOLs" and smiley face emoticons, pounding your chest about OU cheating and still re-hashing stuff that happened over two years ago.
And that's been the tone of your posts on this particular board on the site for a while now, so it's not surprising that you would get "abused" by other posters as you also mentioned above. I haven't been on many team message boards where someone from another school doesn't take some ribbing from the home schools boards' fans. That's just the way it is and always will be.
As for the comment about the level of discussion on the board being down, I would agree with that. It has deteriorated some as we've grown bigger and added more posters while some have cut down their posting or dropped off. There's no doubt about that.
At the same time, you're also part of that problem. As Soonerbounce13 and skyvue have said above, your posting style has changed as well. You used to be a really good poster, but now you're just bitter because you were asked to ignore another poster two years ago and a lot of posters give you grief because you're a KU fan. But it's the condescending nature of your posts that have led to that. You have to give respect to get respect.
