OT: The @bjc42 effect.

BJC is a bot, not a real person. Very common on many social sites (programmed or bought by the platform owner of sponsor) to "show" engagement. Makes people feel better and wanted - as illustrated by some of these comments!

And somehow you are left with the impression that the people that run this board care about how we feel. This thread was cute but now it is starting to go off the rails. I for one believe that @bjc42 is exactly who they said they were when asked that question when his likes gained attention when he first started.

And if this is the way he tracks the posts he reads then that is fine. Everyone thought J. Edger Hoover was crazy when he started his first cataloging process with the FBI. You know the one that was turned into what we now recognize as the NCIC system which law enforcement uses to check the background on a suspect or when someone applies for a professional business-license that is state controlled.


Also I feel compelled to use they as the pronoun describing @bjc42 since we are assuming he is a man.

I agree he/they are a breath of fresh air for this board. Anyone who listens/read more than they talk/write is someone we (myself included) can learn from.

Tip of the hat to the Boneyard legend in the making. Keep doing you @bjc42…

Thanks did not want to assume. Everything I said still stands. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air from the normal BY throat punch culture.

In fairness, it’s not a culture. There’s only one Puncher of Throats.

You probably have one of my most liked handles. From the moment he broke my heart with the shot that beat us after the “It’s late, it’s Tate, it’s great” shot I am not sure I have despised a player and by association team more than I dislike Laetner and Dook. That game started my pure hatred and your handle always brings a smile to my face and then a moment of remembering the pain he caused.

Also not sure which member you are referring too in your post and perhaps you are taking throat punch literally….for me it means rather than maturely debating a disagreement or mistake related to a members post we have many who prefer to ridicule or insult those who have different opinions.

I know I am relatively new to the board and I do not spend any time on any social media platform. BY has taught me first hand what I already knew, social media interactive sites are just not good for a persons well being.

Unfortunately my love for UConn MBB transcends my aversion to cyber bullying and the BY is the best place for me to get news and in that sense it provides me with information I could not get anywhere else. And I am not doing the whole X thing. There is a reason suicides are at an all time high and social media bullying is the biggest reason. So happy it was not around when I was younger and insults impacted me more than they do now.

And what I find amazing is that most on this board count UConn’s MBB as one of, if not their number one past time. Yet we spend more time going at each other rather than debating like adults. Do not get that vitriol at all.

Appreciate the kind words re: my handle. I respect that Laettner’s probably the best college player ever and if my kids played hoops I’d have no problem sending them to one of his camps, but couldn’t stand his antics at Duke and that shot was a dagger through my heart as a youngin’.

The internet and social media brings out an ugly side of people regardless of the platform but this is really my prime source of Husky info and well…venting in the chat during games. Every site has a boatload of curmudgeons and this place has plenty but the good outweighs the bad here so ya kinda roll your eyes and move on to the next post/thread.

Game changer in my life of not believing in many things: Santa, Easter Bunny, money trees, etc.

Was in Asbury Park for Father's Day and a lunch spot we went to gave me a free 23 oz beer (draft) of my choice.

Yes, I need to cross off "free beer" from the imaginary list and put it back to "it happened".
 
I’m curious if he does this on every thread. I’d say like 75% of the topics on the MBB forum I never visit, does he keep those up to date too?

I hope he does. We need as many likes in this world as possible.
