When frustration compels someone to offer a really unnecessary, and stupid, remark most officials have learned it best to try and ignore the first stupid uttering, in hopes once the hot air is spent it will blow away.

I'm really hoping.

Trying to out-stupid the first dumb remark, with an even dumber one, usually doesn't do anything to elevate anything related to intelligence.

Damn, so much for hoping.

Unfortunately, when the first stupid remark generates a string of equally stupid responses, to the point it seems any stupid comment requires a choir like series of equally stupid responses, ignoring all of them just doesn't seem as effective a deterrent as hoped.

I'm getting lost here, are you making the first stupid remark or the equally stupid response?

The fact that someone has been offering stupid remarks longer than everyone else doesn't usually amount to an accomplishment for most and perhaps should serve as an opportunity for introspection.

How about someone who has offered the longest stupid post?

Perhaps, simply choosing to respond to stupid postings more like we all know how to respond to stupid comments we hear on the field, ignoring most of the initial ones, there would be a lot less need for cascading stupid reactions.

Do any stupid, unnecessary comments relate to rule changes?

Your post sure didn't, but is that required? This board would be really quiet if all posts were required to relate to just rule changes. Some posts relate to rats and cheats.
