announcement: what does this mean?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Several PM's out to people, got a couple more to go.

Zool & Rastak posted in a thread that things were degenerating around here and they're right.

I've been giving a little leeway based on the crappy way this team has performed so far this season, but the relentless commenting is getting a bit out of control. (On both sides of the fence). The "you rah rah" posts are pretty ridiculous also.

When the group attacks start, followed by the insincere sarcastic "apology" posts, it is time to cease. But that works both ways. The chicken little, sky is falling, opinions need to stop also.

Think before you type. It is Viking week, so I still have some tolerance, for good natured team bantering, but in reality my tolerance is waning. Don't push it too far.

Thanks - Joe

I don't have the slightest idea what this announement meant.


" The chicken little, sky is falling, opinions need to stop also."

What opinions exactly have been forbidden?

What are "uh-rah-rah" posts?

I haven't noticed anything different about the forum. What did I miss?

None of this would have happened if you had finished your rule book on deadline.

[esoxx]

I think it means admin is actually upnorthfan.

[bobblehead]

It means the lambs are being silenced. I guess a packer board is a place to watch butterflies and flowers alongside gurgling streams, not actually talk trash and talk football.

I do feel responsible.

I would have had a rule in place to nip that "relentless commenting" in the bud.

For all I know, maybe there was some serious mayhem. If zool and rastak were upset, guess that's reason enough. In support of zool and rastak I am upset.

Harlan stop being such a bag. Just telling people to stop with the BS. He doesnt like to call people out specifically it seems until its a last resort.

Thats like saying "whats socially acceptable to urinate on in public". Unfortunately common sense is not common. Actually Partial,ironically enough, of all people said it best, speak to someone in text how you would speak to them face to face. Being behind a keyboard gives people balls to say shit they wouldn't get away with.

Zool, you just called me a "bag." I seriously doubt you would have called me that in person.

I think people define their own sensibilities as "common sense."

I was just curious what happenned, where the line is.

You speak the truth, fucker.

I probably wouldn't call you a Blue Bitch to your face, because I'm guessing you don't look exactly like your avatar. Im sure there are some similarities of course. However, I would make fun of your little red hat.

I didnt get it either and still dont a few days later. I was called for making, what I thought was a good point TT vs. the Washington Redskins. Joe, it would seem to me that my comparison wouldnt "poke the hornets nest" as you said, but rather give some tangible evidence that free wheeling spending in the NFL does not necessarily mean success(Snyder has 1 playoff win in 11 years). But then again, even if it DID poke the hornets nest..isnt that what ,as the owner, you are trying to achieve here ultimately? More discussion means more unique hits etc etc....???

I think a set of guidelines is in order. One site I visit has a firm statement"dont say anything here you wouldn't say in front of your mother" Not a bad way to go...

You ever mess with me Mitch and I'll fuck you up, fuck you up good.

Why are we here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Joe to to come.
