Always remember, when dealing with steelers fans, this idiom can never be applied. 

I like the old saying, it goes something like, "You can lead a yinzer to a computer, but you can't make him think."

The claim he was replying to was about the low quality of smack on this forum. Two of the three parts of his post are clearly a shot at someone else for hanging around a place they claim isn't what it's supposed to be. 

It looks like you read the middle part and assumed it was the typical response from a N00b so you jumped on that and continue to cling to it when my first reaction to reading the post was that he was taking a shot at a steelers fan for hanging around somewhere he thought wasn't worth hanging around. 

P.S. There is a total of one forum where only Bengals fans are allowed. Every single other part of this message board is open to anyone that wants to participate. 

P.P.S. I cringe every time a Bengals fan chides a fan of another team about being here. I never once felt STC was going there.

Show me the part where Vlad actually said that it wasn't worth being here.  That was an inference on STC's part.  I didn't see it because I didn't share that opinion about what Vlad said.  He said that the Smack was bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't think it's worth being here.  STC himself suggested that bad smack was 'mildly entertaining'.  Perhaps we Steeler fans feel the same way.  

What you are saying makes sense - from a Bengal fan point of view.  But for someone who doesn't make the same assumptions, it needs some clarification.  I clung to the idea that STC was using 'Steeler fan on a Bengal board' because he stuck with 'you're an idiot' instead of making that clarification (or any additional argument, for that matter).  Opinions that go unexpressed are not self-evident to those who don't share them.

Read my response to rfaulk above. 

You refused to express an opinion that I didn't share because you thought it was self-evident fact.  So, yeah, I'm sticking with the idea that the problem here is your inability to communicate.  I can't read your mind, guy.

Well thank you to rfaulk for reading my mind and clarifying for you. Now I'll be able to sleep tonight.

He didn't have to.  He knew what you we getting at because he shared your opinion.  But not everyone in the world does. If you've learned that lesson, then I'll be able to sleep too.

Since I know this is the smack board, here's my smack because the Bengals are playing the Broncos this Sunday - Bengals are going to get bROCKed! Get it? Lol. I know, kinda bad but you get the message.

Merry Christmas everyone! 

I understand you are holding onto hope and a Bengals win tonight gives the AFCS title to the Texans. And yes, the Colts suck this year.

Why are you still defending Vlad? Dude is almost as bad a Poe (almost).

Poe will be back..............................................around the draft to predict again how great the Ravens will be in 2016

So there is a chance the Colts make the playoffs

Shared opinion doesn't really apply. I was basing my comprehension on the structure of the post, not what the post was about.

I'll tell you what you can do with your 'structure'...

How did you read that as a defense of Vlad?  He was more or less background in that post.

You know... as I slurp down my honey wheat and oats with milk bowl for breakfast, I can't help but wonder that even with a 3300 to 1 odds of making the playoffs, I STILL have a reason to cheer and watch the Colts on this 17th and final week of regular season.

As crappy as the Colts have played, they're still not mathematically eliminated.

LOL!

"Yes", you're correct, the Colts DO SUCK, big time. But they're still not eliminated. I find that quite humorous.
