1. He ignores people that are on to him (check) Real people will fight you to the teeth to "defend their honor". Post after post, page after page. Trolls ignore and move on to others that still engage them seriously. 
2. He says outlandishly stupid stuff that is easily disproven, ignores it and posts it again. (check) Real people eventually stop posting misinformation once they're shown proof or...my next point. 
3. He gets proven wrong, beyond the shadow of a doubt and says he didn't say that, or changes his "meaning" and continues the troll. (check) It doesn't matter what you say to him, he keeps saying wrong shit and changing the story.
4. He says just enough to make it look like he's not trolling. (check) Brian P, Doc, Tia (same person) would always add just enough to possibly seem plausible or put in just enough 'football talk' to make it look like he wasn't trolling. 

But let's be real. I could be 100% wrong and he could just be some old weird dude that thinks he's right about everything and has answers to the worlds problems. He told me before we could meet for lunch and compare degrees. He doesn't even need to do that. If he plays golf at Hyde Park Country Club, he's only a couple miles from where i work. He's more than welcome to stop in, ask for Rick, say Hey, my names Eric and we can shake hands, have a laugh and i'll come on here and say i was 100% wrong and he's a real Bengals fan, here to talk Bengals football. 

Hell, i'll even throw in some free copies of his house key for his troubles. 

Even if a troll, they're fun to engage with occasionally, especially during down windows like the offseason.
And I'm not confident it's a troll, just a(n older) dude who has his subjective opinions and there isn't anything anyone can say or do to sway those opinions.

So basically Stewart didn't feel it was fair to put a clause on him when he felt he didn't do anything to deserve the clause, even if that clause was being put (unfairly?) on other new draft picks coming into the league by other teams.

What was probably a bit over the line (in some folks' eyes) is the specific statement to Bengals FO about how they want to win arguments instead of winning more games.
Stewart comes off as pretty blunt and willing to share his feelings, even though many players are coached to not do that.


In the case of Stewart, it can be seen by many as entitled, as he's not proven anything in the NFL, so just don't talk to the media at all about things like this.
I don't personally have a problem with Stewart (or anyone) feeling a certain way and sharing their feelings/opinions, but know that any time an opinion is shared, understand that could result in backlash from certain folks.

The info I saw said 31/32 teams have the clause, this year. Ravens the exception. IDK how many had it last year, but we certainly did not. 

I am as critical of our FO as almost anyone, but this one was more on camp Stewart.

Those are def real people. Let me axt you this, referring to #1 on my list. 

Does Luvnit ignore me, or take time to defend his position to the nth degree?
Does Essex ignore me, or take time to defend his postion to the nth degree?
Do i ignore anyone, or take time to defend my position to the nth degree?

There have been others. Many others. Maybe there are a couple that i'm forgetting but those three come right to mind. 

EDIT: Ooops. Almost forgot Harley...   :)

On Sunday July 27, at 10:19PM, you wrote "As of today..29 out of 32 second round draft picks are unsigned."

As of the date/time of your post (yesterday), 31 out of 32 second round picks had signed their contracts. 

Thats what!
