Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Hey everybody. There are some people in my life who I am forced to deal with who are total Richard-heads. For example, one never reveals any real information about himself, but somehow learned very deep and personal information about me, and uses it to insult me to my face. That's just one of them though, there are a few more.
What would be a good way to really get under the skin of people like this? What do you guys think?
I had a buddy in high school- good kid, but to all his friends, complete you know what. Just constantly making fun, etc. And it was only to the kids he liked. When we were freshman, he had a girlfriend for 12 months. They kissed once, no tongue and he asked to kiss her (that being a big deal back then).. For the rest of his high school life if he gave anyone crap, the response was always "Hey [the kid], how's [the ex girlfriend]?". He got severely butthurt and was quick to shut up.
Moral of the story- find something personal and embarrassing to them, and give constant reminders if so and so gives you crap. The key is to have ammo on a very embarrassing event in the person's life.
Turn them into the victim and they'll go away quickly.
One of them recently gained a lot of weight, and it adversely affected almost every aspect of his/her life. Should I use that?
Or should I take a different route and pretend they don't exist and show no emotion to what they say?
A combination of both?
Weight is definitely something a person is insecure about. If they try to get at you, don't be confrontational, just laugh/smirk/blank face (its up to you) and have a SHORT comeback ready. Remember, keep it short, you're not trying to start a fight, just let the other person know you're not going to be their female dog.
Be warned, although them going away is one reaction, starting a war is another. So be careful and just know your limitations.
One of the Richards has insulted my wife (who has never even met or heard of this person) on several occasions, and in very harsh ways, and for no reason at all. They have also insulted my family, my father, my grandfather, and other people who I love. I have done nothing to offend them, or at least to my knowledge.
They are scum who deserve to be brought to justice by the Silver Surfer
You want to bother someone the most.. don't let them know things bother you. Holding yourself to a high standard is always the way to go.
Nothing will make people like that angrier then you being happy.
What he said.
They are trying to get a rise out of you, otherwise they wouldn't be saying it.
Anytime they say something, just chuckle, smile at them like they said the sky was magenta flavored, and ignore them. It shows that you have the power to ignore them and they aren't worth your time.
Much easier said than done, but chances are they are doing it because they are miserable about something in their life. Let them wallow in it by themselves.

Dude....why on earth are they insulting your family? Are they juvenile? Are these people not getting enough oxygen?
Sounds like people you just want to stay far away from......and as the folks are saying......act like you aren't hearing whatever it is they are saying.
But seriously......at some point, if it really bothered you enough, you could discuss with a law enforcement person. Just don't handle it yourself with these types.
And when you get a moment........try to get them some oxygen!
I personally couldn't give a dang what anybody says about me or my family that I don't care about or respect to begin with. Why should I. I also wouldn't want to give them the power to affect my life or my happiness or my families. The only way they can is if I give them the power too.
Personally from my experience most people that do those types of things for no reason are either unhapy themselves, jealous or in all probability both. Let them be. The more they concentrate on others rather then dealing with themselves in their own lives is the more unhappier they get and they deserve the life they live. Maybe they can tell Jerry about it. Mean while my wife and I are going to be happy and not give a darn. Just my opinion and the way we do it though
