All I know is that I am the Ruler of the Meadow (see, it's even in my signature) and you all are crapping all over my beautiful kingdom. This was a place where buxom women brought you beers in steins and meat was eaten off the bone. Now, it's just a bunch of whining. Begone foul miscreants!
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
I laughed so hard I almost peed on my kid. Almost. The idea that's there's been any measure of control, much less a practiced "exercise" of control, here for the past 3 years is an idiot savant's drug induced fantasy. Madtown's either been banning, insulting, and threatening posters or going on a two year bender while the place grew mold, atrophied, and collapsed on itself. LOL. Exercise the control.
So basically you want to zero in on a rather innocuous post for the larger problem it represents and delete it. And that's going to solve the bigger problem between brandon and those who disagree with him?
I understand the notion that some people are leaving because other people are acting like asshats. But if someone's going to get upset because another poster claims a football player has a STD and might be banging women other than his wife, then maybe that person isn't really cut out for this whole internet forum thing.
I think you're overreacting about the insinuation of murder, especially given the bar that Tarlam set. Brandon isn't murdering anyone. Shit, the guy can't even get far enough out of the suburbs to find anyone his own color. So Snake making some quip that not even brandon understood about threatening rats didn't really strike me as dangerous, even on the very small chance snake was sober.
As far as the humor aspect, I think it's a bad idea to police what is and isn't funny. Madtown and retail already tried that and killed the RR. You're a great active, insightful poster, but I don't think that should mean you get to demand a humorless, entirely dispassionate discussion of football. Especially a discussion which you willingly choose to engage in with the assistance of a seemingly much ignored IGNORE feature.
Speaking of which, I remember the great outcry for the Ignore feature. It was going to save the forum, cure cancer, and bring the 99% and the 1% together. It's strange how much some posters are still bothered by other posters who they have the ability to completely delete from their own experience. You want the post deleted? Ignore the poster. Problem solved.

After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.
Don't you have anything constructive to offer? Like a story about a naked uncle dipping his weasel into your potatoes?

Read that post and is it ever easy to IGNORE you as the only time you appear is when Scott summons assistance. Yet an observation. Anyone ever inform you this is a football forum zool?

1. Haha! Now that is a nugget. Points for Whitey on that one.
2. You are right. The RR should not have to be policed. But that also means posters needs to have some common sense. What good is the GC is there are no boundaries in the RR? It also would make sense the Packers area stay mostly on topic with football. But I agree that colorful comments like the ones that have provided are not the issue. What appears to be bad intended post like Snakes need to be simmered. People fucking up threads need to be addressed. Didnt I jam up Woody about his link infestation?
3. Does the ignore feature work when others reply to someone you ignored? I dont know. I will check. But when someone you ignore is bringing the issue up with other posters I imagine you can read it in their replies.
If you have me on ignore, but another poster quotes one of my posts, then you will see it.
Zool was your post to me 'football related' ever?
The truthful response would be:
NO....and doesn't this fella 'in fact' resemble you zool? The TROLL personified.
Minus the ' small mustach ' of course'.
Now if your 'in denial' go back in time and read what you post me. THANKS....appreciate it !
I'll go further to assist you zool:
Flaming (Internet):

Trolling (Internet):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)
zool...Acting in self defense is hardly flaming moreso trolling. Trolls and flamers begin the problem that not all other posters in a foum may run from. Abusive posters like you and your kind are cowards that hide behind your ignorance...and should never spill your propoganda and have it taken as a serious attempt for a improved atmosphere.
MAYBE THOSE LESSONS FOR YOU WERE TAXING!?
So in keeping with "the Maritimer in me' ...have a few laughs 'Ohh ....do you like Chinese?:
