Improve this thread - Extraneous BS

[falco]

Unfortunately I think I'm missing something here...

Perhaps you're referencing my post to Harlan earlier - it was all tongue in cheek. Back in the day LJ impersonated people by adding a space or underscore or something after their name to create a spoof account. My feelings were genuine hurt one day when Harlan called me some names... I later found it wasn't really him, but LJ. I give him a hard time about it to this day.

I thought what happened at the posters game was supposed to stay at the posters game.

I'm going to miss you when you get banned. Or when I get banned. Or when we both get banned.

Harlan only leaves on his own freewill, with long, dramatic farewell posts, only to return a few weeks later when he gets bored. :P

Source?

Not sure, but you could try googling "Harlan farewell speech."

There was also a good parody of it in a thread somewhere...but I'm either too lazy or technically incompetent to pull it up.

I was searching for Harlan's farewell speech and found this:

Hard to believe tophat has been gone almost two years. Wonder what he is up to nowadays.

EDIT: changed link - sorry

boy, you look at some of these old threads and see some names of posters long bygone and just wonder where they are at.

I kind of think that might be the admin's point. Too many folks are gone for it to be a coincidence.

After reading this thread, I'm damn grateful I'm out of this.... Back into hiding. See you later....

[falco]

I actually meant long gone, like JSR, tophat, 4and12to12and4, etc. But your point is well taken also.

[SkinBasket]

Harvey you were holding your tongue even less than I was buddy boy.

Really? After you guys started arguing you outposted him 10-5. I won't get into the language used, as that's already been covered, and I find it difficult to believe that you would argue that you were more the gentleman in that regard.

See the Admin's post. Gotta respond to everyone who thinks its okay to gang rape a poster.

Maybe if you weren't calling two of the most long standing and respected posters little bitches, jags, and cunts, this wouldn't be a problem. Just a thought.

One other thing I want to clarify for Administrator. Claiming Partial cannot throw a football is not an insult. It is a simple fact that anyone and everyone that has witnessed seems in agreement on. I'm not going to say that's a bad thing or something to be embarrassed about. I have short fingers. I can't throw a football over 20 yards worth a damn. But I'm not going to tell everyone I'm tossing 40 yard rockets when I'm scuffing the street 15 yards out - 10 yards short of my target and there's a dozen people watching. Not judging, but watching.

I'm not here telling everyone I have flowing locks of Fabio hair. And if I did, I would expect some people to wonder what the fuck I'm talking about, not berating them as liars, cunts, and bitches.

Absolutely is given the context of the forum.

It is a simple fact that anyone and everyone that has witnessed seems in agreement on.

And the lies continue.

Sucks for you. Oh, and small hands.... well, you know the rest

But I'm not going to tell everyone I'm tossing 40 yard rockets when I'm scuffing the street 15 yards out - 10 yards short of my target and there's a dozen people watching. Not judging, but watching.

Yet another lie. I don't understand how you can be up on your high horse preaching when you're nothing but a dirty liar. If you are going to make a claim like this, then man up and prove it. Assuming you cannot, I would advise you to STFU.

I'm not here telling everyone I have flowing locks of Fabio hair. And if I did, I would expect some people to wonder what the fuck I'm talking about, not berating them as liars, cunts, and bitches.

I didn't tell anyone about my ability to throw a football. Harvey brought up a personal statement that goes against the "What happesn in GB stays in GB" slogan, making him a backstabbing traitor. Besides that, it's not even true, and it didn't do anything beyond result in people ganging up on me and perpetuating the poor behavior here.

The situation is pose is not at all similar, as:
A) you brought up said piece of information
B) Assuming you're not lying, it would be a truthful statement, unlike Harvs
C) It isn't violated a discussed pact
D) It's about yourself, not someone else
E) Posting about a hair on a football forum is irrelevant, where as discussing football skills has to do with the topic at hand, thus having an effect on credibility.

I'm a peaceful creature and will only attack when backed into a corner. I'm sick of the crap. Somewhere along the line everyone thought it was cool to attack me. Ridiculous, because I consider myself a top 15 knowledgeable football poster here. Ziggy loves to tell me that I'm wrong and this and this and that, and ignore facts, etc for the simple joy of her flaming me. Pretty sad, imo.

People are outragged over ONE comment that I've made, but have failed to acknowledge being told my opinion is BS by CPK frequently, being called an idiot, retard, dumb ass -- which are much worse imo and most peoples opinion than some body part that over 50% of the population has --, been passive-aggressively attacked multiple times without having any reason within the context of said post, etc. It's ridiculous. I've had people post personal images of me which violate the very foundation of which this forum was founded upon. Get off my nuts, guy.

See this is almost as useless as the rest of the banter that has been going on here. Nothing positive or thought provoking.

I would like to thank people like Patler, and Skinbasket for at least coming up with some ideas to keep this forum running correctly. Over the past two summers the forum has gotten compeletly out of wack with the Favre situation. During the 2008 season everything seemed to flow alright. Even this off-season things were ok, but "Summer of Favre II" has flopped this place on it's head. It will get back to normal, nothing drastic needs to be done, unless you actually want to set forth a base set of rules and consequences.

For those that have gone to the admin with complaints, grow up. If you want to leave, why make a stink over it? Better yet, pm the person you are having issues with and tell them that you don't find their responses to your posts all that helpful with in the contexts of the thread.

Bretsky, I really hope you are not one of these people.

Ridiculous, because I consider myself a top 15 knowledgeable football poster here.

That's nice that you think so highly of yourself, but what other people think of you is a lot more important. Did you ever stop to think about why you've become the forum whipping boy? It's not like people gathered together and picked your name out of a hat. You've alienated most everybody that used to be supportive, and yet you keep going after people harder, and harder, and harder.

How's that working out for you? At some point you need to think about changing yourself, because you're not going to change everybody else.

Because I'm not a homer and I have differing opinions. Some people can not look past that and its very sad. My name calling only started when others preceded. I'm not justifying it through two wrongs make a right, I'm saying that I'm snapping because quite frankly I'm fed up and disgusted with this forum and as a result have been coming around less and less.

It's terrible that a few people with differing opinions like RG and I are constantly bashed. Two people, might I add, who helped establish this forum and provide all of the attackers the ability to do so.

As somebody who has liked you for years, I am here to tell you it ain't your views. It's your delivery.
