Off topic stuff from the Vikings/Saints game thread

[Freak Out]

I have no idea who Dr. Laura is and I have to say I'm thankful for it.

Great timing for the lost members to show up and bring this crap into opening day.

Gee, glad you could make it. It's just like old times again.

There's nothing to worry about - Joe is saving the world from the poison of Packerrats.

[Tarlam!]

I find it really sad that we've lost members. I especially miss OPF and PiP. Obviously Bretsky and Rastak. I wish Nutz would contribute more.

I was delighted to see Seven and Michelle make contributions recently.

But we've had threads on this and efforts to write emails to these posters. In fact, Bretsky got me to come back after I refused to let God get mixed up with Football (MOBB DEEP post from last season). I got angry, calmed down and started posting again.

There are about 3 posters I wouldn't miss, but I just named 4 I really do miss. I'm sure some people would rather see my ass out the door, but a few others value my contributions. It's the same in life, right?

I hope we can argue and disagree without it getting personal; that's the only thing I take offense about.

[SkinBasket]

but on a forum that is almost completely unmoderated, I suppose it will continue. It is precisely why some good posters have left here.

This is a complext point, one that I don't really agree with.

But, valid, since no one can definitively prove why people leave.

Joe, you can see skinbaskets "I'm not planning an exit" thread for my comments related to moderating.

This discussion remains open if anyone wants to productively share their thoughts and opinions.

Actually we can't see your comments in that thread because they don't exist. And what the fuck (excuse my Romanian) is up with locking the thread? God forbid you allow the people here to vent about you keeping this place in worse repair than a fucking plague infested hamster cage.

Any time there's any discussion about how to improve this fucking place, you freak the fuck out, make some grand pronouncements, lock the thread, and then nothing happens. What's it been? Two goddamn years? Not sure how you can be such a defensive pussy about something you obviously don't give a shit about.

Sorry for the namecalling, but it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past time for you to nut up or shut up.

wow. I locked the thread while I was posting a response because I wanted it to be complete and on the 1st page. I was the 19th comment, and it took me the last 30 minutes or so to respond to everything.

It's there now, not sure if you'll call it "nutting up or not" but we'll see.

Well, I guess I still stand by the content of my post, but I was extremely socially lubed up last night, so perhaps my choice of words weren't the most socially graceful. I hope no one was offended by by nut talk.

...B didn't leave because people said unkind things about Favre. He left because of the Rat on Rat crime....

it's "PACK ON PACK CRIME"

I feel the phrase works much better this way.

This is her...pictures taking, allegedly, by the man she was having an affair with some years ago...

I'm assuming that pic is mild enough to be posted in the RR...

I was speaking specifically to this forum. Posters need to stop getting personal and worse letting the way someone feels about Favre dictate the way they respond to posters' comments about other things.

I wonder why the compulsion to tell others how they should think about Favre? I enjoy the increased rivalry with the vikings now that Favre is over there. It makes for great football. I don't really care about Favre as a person; I appreciate the entertaining storyline he has woven for us. I do consider his actions to have soiled him as a hero for GBP, but not in any personal sort of way.

Let's convert it to a link instead of a photo so it's safe for work.

I'm trying to understand what either phrase actually means. Do you agree with Ziggy's definition?

[Iron Mike]

I don't know what all happened or what was said that drove Ras, Bretsky, and others away, but I will say I think this site is more friendly to opposing fans than the others I've been too. I used to hang around PPO, (Vikings site), and would get called all kinds of nasty name for no reason. Bears sites are the same way. Trust me it could be A LOT worse.

Speaking of which, I was REALLY looking forward to taunting Bearman and Dabaddestbear about how their team shit the bed yesterday.........
