OFFICIAL THREAD about "NOTHING"

[Bretsky]

I have to do some work today

My job has resulted in going from an optimist to a realistic pessimist

Once saw everything as glass half full and now I'm a bit gun shy

[retailguy]

I've had it with Ty's bullshit posts. Grow up.

Thanks Scott, Bretsky and Admin. Yes it's my first home. I was renting an apartment for a while, but was just approved for a loan to purchase my first home. That's why I haven't been posting much lately. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

ILLEGAL; you cannot announce your departure in a thread about nothing

Congrats again on the home

Congrats on the house! Getting a new house is cool in any environment!

I'm thrilled for you and your wife! enjoy.

You can't leave! Somebody has to update us on the WV Mountaineers!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Wife and I are just settling down in our new home.

Congrats Brando. First mobile home?

fixed

Don't do this again. No reason for that.

No reason for what?

Its just a stupid joke, hundreds of which are made here daily, and this one just happened to cross some particular sensibility you have.

I HATE censorship and threats of censorship.

In another thread, Scott Campbell refered to me as a homo, and the worst kind of homo. I sobbed for 45 minutes. Where was the censor to protect my feelings from this angry personal attack?

I friggin hate censorship - did I mention that? Ty got called-out here because the Admin doesn't like him. Or perhaps he messed with a cherished value of home-ownership.

In another thread, a threat is made to kill critisism of monitors, because they are volunteers and therefore a protected class.

What the fuck!? Are people here really so sheepish to accept such a rule?

I hate censorship. It always leads to favoritism, and unless there are very clear guidelines, it just reflects the emotions and opinions of the person doing the censoring.

Packerrats was unusual because it tolerated a wide range of personalities and senibilities. Now it is on the path to a bland, typical sports forum. Which I understand is fine with most people, but I find a bit lame. Unless somebody is tearing things up, leave um alone.

Harlan, stupid jokes are fine, if both parties are ok with the joke. In this case, they aren't. Brando has repeatedly asked Ty to stop and he's refused. That's not a joke. This is a continuation of a long standing feud. I thought it ended about 3 weeks ago, but, no, we had to see one more potshot. (that in itself is very disappointing). If the only reason you are here is to "insult" other people you don't know, please leave. You are not welcome here.

We can tolerate every kind of personality. It isn't about that, and it is dirty pool to make that accusation. I don't see anyone stifling opinions or debate. But calling other people names, and harassing them after they've been asked to stop? Uncalled for - exactly as I called it.

If you see that as lame, that's ok by me, but in my world, you're wrong. In this case what Ty did was lame. No other way I'm interested in looking at it.

Thanks RG! We're very excited. I'm not leaving...I've just been real busy here lately and I'll hopefully be able to get on here more once everything gets settled down. The Mountaineers aren't going to be as good as last year....Pat White is now a Miami Dolphin. Noel Devine is a name to remember though...going to be the next Devin Hester in the NFL.

[Partial]

Noel Devine is a guy I've had my eye on since before his Freshman year. Guy is a stud!, but I know he's had some problems off-the-field. Hopefully he keeps it together and goes on to have a great last two years, because he'll be a #1 or #2 pick if he keeps his head clean.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Brando has repeatedly asked Ty to stop and he's refused. That's not a joke.

IF that's the case, I agree, sorry for jumping on your ass.

IF somebody says they aren't interested in the back-and-forth anymore, the other person should leave them alone.

Can't believe you would just dump Skinbasket like that.

.......sorry for jumping on your ass.

I'm trying harder to not be so judgmental.

[falco]

sucks to be bretsky right now, that's for sure.

Thanks for this Harlan. I appreciate it. Had I known you didn't read about their little feud, I wouldn't have jumped on you either.

Not hard feelings! Know I'm trying damn hard to be fair (as fruitless an exercise as that might be)....

He is a bit small.

Agreed. He is a little guy.

He is a little guy. I don't know if he'll be a starting RB in the NFL...but he's so fast he's sure to be a great return man. When he was backing up Slaton at WVU year before last, he was averaging 14 yards a carry for a while! He works out every summer with Deion Sanders (says he practically raised him.) I believe he'll be a round 1 pick, like Partial said.

[Deputy Nutz]

he is listed at 5-8 175 pounds and is a back in the veer offense, sure he is fast, but unless he puts on about 25 pounds of muscle he won't be a first round pick.

Barry Sanders was a squat 5-7 he had huge thighs and legs, and he ran with a style that has never been matched. He wasn't afraid of lowering the shoulder and gaining the tough yards either. I just hate it when guys compare small backs to Barry Sanders.

Reggie Bush, aint no Barry Sanders.

Barry Sanders was a freak
