Who controls this?

And, the reason this forum was created was to limit the changing of words - at the previous site (God rest its soul) - you couldn't swear or even say psuedo swears. Just type V1kings for now.

This is why it was a joke, it was making fun of the old policy of changing words at CE, as if "V1king" was a sort of swear word.

But new posters here won't get that part of the joke.

and maybe it was a stupid joke to begin with. we'll get rid of it.

please, lets not have hard feelings over this stupid joke!

I think your reaction to this situation will do far more to alter peoples perception of you.

No more piling on. Lets not drive a guy out over a little difference in perception of a joke.

I agree with shamrock on this one--although I probably wouldn't have went to the "my time here will likely be short" card right away. I would have asked why it changed though.

I don't like it changing either--especially when I'm copying and pasting an article from ESPN or something.

I find this EXTREMEY disconcerting because it drastically alters how I am perceived.

Well, I think it is disrespectfull to make fun of other people, other teams, other fans. I've never understood why fans think that is appropriate. Or using derogatory terms to refer to coaches and GMs. I do not want others to associate me with that kind of thinking. However, it seems most on here think that I am narrow-minded in that regard.

If you want to have a poor opinion of me for trying to be a respectful person, so be it.

I never said anything about my opinion of you. At this point, I haven't read enough to form one.

I have to agree here. In particular, I find it offensive the way some guys seem to go after the Bear$ and their fans. I ask you, what have they ever done to deserve our ire?

Those fine people of Chicago should be lauded for their terrific support of that stalwart of the NFL - Da Chicago Bear$.

[Scott Campbell]

LOL

It just happened to me. Good one Mad!

I have a plenty thick enough skin to have my views challenged, questioned, disagreed with. BUT NOT CHANGED!

I'm sure that will be addressed in some fashion.

And, the reason this forum was created was to limit the changing of words - at the previous site (God rest its soul) - you couldn't swear or even say psuedo swears. Just type V1kings for now.

shamrockfan isn't just "only one" he has every right to be offended as a member here.

His view is well taken and agree or disagree with it, his view should be given merit /respected.

I have never been one to go rah rah over any manner of a bullying attitude and the mere suggestion that he is "only one" is arrogance and an unacceptable attitude. It's been my experience that that "only one" grows and a REAL problem manifests.

shamrockfan doesn't refer to the V1kings as Queens. Neither do I.Actually I would suggest if you do that you are opening the book to censorship (revision)of many curse and swear words and then - lets get that list.

For now shamrockfan I would suggest that you go with Fosco33's suggestion.

Viking (that will be Queen) = V1king

This may be the toughest lesson you will ever learn because some people live, to try to get under anothers skin. This advice will be possibly misunderstood by you too as I'm just guessing that you may have an Irish connection but here goes.

Straight up. Sometimes you will be best served shamrockfan, ignoring certain posts and the likes of certain posters. Now if your Irish that collection of impulse factor may be too great and you may just want to smash em with your words, and that's OK too, LOL. Nothing wrong or weird about you standing on a principle maan.

woodbuck, your moose has menacing eyes and is creating a hostile posting environment.

I didn't get any sense of a bullying attitude or arrogance from any of these posts. I think shamrockfan's concern is receiving thoughtful and immediate consideration by those in charge, and I'm impressed by the level of responsiveness displayed thus far.

Agreed. This is particularly true if you're hypersensitive, and you tend to cry easily. But I won't mention any names.

[Harlan Huckleby]

OK, lets head this off. Woody, Scott, return to your corners.

V1king .

End of story.
