I didn't see it that way.  He was pleasantly surprised at the positive response, and seemed grateful is how I took it 

I mean, is he wrong to be surprised?  Vol twitter does have a rep.

Right!  We read the exact same thing and reacted differently.  Cmon bro...are you saying Vol fans DON'T attack on social media, and aren't notorious for that?  What universe are you living in?

And, checking notes, that is called a slight.  Have a great day

No, its just the truth.  "Vol twitter" absolutely has a rep.  The thing is, I am glad that our fans aggressively attack members of the media. The members of the media mostly deserve it IMO.  Thus I guess the discrepancy in our reaction to what he said.

Rece has done that before (GA Tech I think). Respect to him for doing so.

Also, I love our passionate fan base, but some of our notable Twitter users have to be fairly dim teenagers.

Oh I absolutely do. That you think Vol fans on social media don't routinely launch attacks on media figures is LOL funny.  De Nile is not just a river in Egypt.

It's not an insult if it's a statement of fact, and nothing to be ashamed of. "Vol twitter" is notorious. I for one, don't think that's a bad thing. Think of it this way, Rece may even be a bit intimidated by Vol social media.

Resorting to name calling is a clear sign that you have lost the "argument". Not that it ever was.  

You are completely unaware that "Vol twitter" has a reputation for launching attacks on media figures, but it has been discussed quite frequently below in numerous posts, with plenty of examples actually posted. I wouldn't stoop to your level and use childish insults, but I would say that you strike me as not in touch with reality, and thin-skinned. Acknowledging that Vol fans routinely attack media figures is no cause for shame, I actually like it that way, although I  tired of hearing "ESPN hates us".  Might as well hang a sign around your neck that says "I have a massive inferiority complex".

But give me a serious answer...does "Vol twitter" have a rep or not?  Yes or no.

It was an example of calling out the truth as a pot shot.  Yes, TN fans have a lot of Vitriol against ESPN.. rightly so.  But Rece saying it in the comments was a pot shot.

We see it differently, but that's fine. 

Moving on....
