I think Ben's only mistake was trying to clamp down completely and not let the situation run its course -- but that is 20/20 hindsight. I have no doubt he did what he thought was best.

If you don't like it, you don't like Ben's change of heart and you don't like this moderation, my suggestion is this: hit the bricks. This forum is a great place to have fun, but if you're not having fun why come here? I stopped coming here and posting for a while when political threads were non-stop and 9 out of 10 threads pissed me off. If you're not having fun and the only contribution you can make is to cause trouble, then get a life for Christmas and go do something else.

Don't take this place so seriously -- it's supposed to be fun, god damn it. :)



Luckily most political threads have something in the title about, say, politics. I enjoy talking politics and I enjoy this board so lucky me, that there are some people like me too. If youre not, then great, at least you have less threads to get bored in.

With all due respect, I think this statement pretty much tells me you don't understand what our problem was. It's not that we wanted SkyDog replaced (see, I'm back too without a mod change), it's that we felt that SD went way over the line in this case and we didn't feel comfortable coming here unless the situation changed. It did, now we're here.

(When I said I wouldn't come back until there was a change, that's what I meant. SD realized he went too far, problem solved. Much respect to him for that. I think I have agreed with a good 95% of the decisions SD has made.)

And Blackie, how could you forget Braggggggggggggg? Of course, the difference in the situations in that you had to stop it after a lot of talk about it. In this case, SD didn't allow ANY talk.

Bah, it's Madlibs time....

So I guess it's good that it kills on contact. I think that SkyDog barks at the moon.
I love it when the NFL kicks a Pearl Jam concert DVD bootleg in the olfactory system. That's always money. Oh, and Michigan sucks.

DaddyTorgo 12-13-2004 03:52 PM

glad that I saved my posting until I'd read this entire massive thread. Hopefully now all the drama and the hurt feelings of our "holiday fight" can be put behind us now and we can...return to the happy messageboard community that I have come to value as my homepage, and as my internet-home.

SD: Thank you for saying what you said. It takes a big man to post what you did, a bigger man than many of us probably are (myself included).

Suicane: Dola to you for your post. Let the healing continue brother-man.

sabatoi: glad to see you back as well.

Can we have a group community-hug tonight at say...9pm EST?? :)

korme 12-13-2004 03:57 PM

SD, you just (well for you, you probably think it's unfortunate) won me back with this. Nice job and it was big of you to admit you overreacted, and it all really got out of hand. Thanks.

I stayed logged out for over 24 hours, that's got to be a record or something.

Oh, and Suicane:

I understand the sentiment, but something about Nazi uniforms I just have no tolerance for, even if it's a joke (and I fully understood it was a joke).

Bah! Typical Buckeye nonsense. This thread was all about serious stuff and reonciliation and stuff like that. And here it comes with all the hate from the Butterman and Pooper Scooper. Screw you guys and stuff! This thread was about being a man and group hugs and stuff and you all turned it into a thread of hate, lies, and mischief! Screw you guys. Oh, and THE Ohio State sucks. :D

Driftwood 12-13-2004 08:51 PM

What I find amusing is that after all this time, after numerous incidents of heavy-handedness and creating a playing field where some members can get away with anything and others are slapped down for the slightest offense, after all that some of you think everything will change because Skydog apologized once.

In the immortal words of Ghandi, suckers

BlingBling was the troll who was ghost banned. He could post, but his posts wouldn't show up in threads. The only problem was on the forum screen it would show up that he was the last to post in a thread. Several people (me included) didn't know that ghost banning was a forum feature and wondered out loud if there was a problem with the forum--which ruined the ghost banning. He had to be banned for real.

So did SD ghost-ban him so that the HNIC could just laugh at his futile attempts to post? Cuz that would be really hilarious.

To clarify (and I edited my post to reflect), it was "BlingBlingKilla" that got the boot on the 7th. "BlingBlingKillazz" (also sharing the identical and unique IP address with "Driftwood") was also banned right around then. "BlingBlingKillaz," however, never bothered to post, and therefore slipped under the radar, but considering that account registered on the same day as "BlingBlingKillazz," I feel pretty good about banning that one right now as well. Sorry that I got all of the names confused, but, uh, I think y'all can understand why... :p

Ah, everything's out or order here. No, I don't really have an opinion on the original suspension and I am sure a lot of people thought it was unjustifed. But Skydog must of said about 500 f-in times to please contact him in private if people had concerns and instead they kept starting up new threads. I kept checking back in for the drama, but thought it was pretty obvious that all they were doing was pissing him off. Anyways my only card in any of this is all the people who were claiming to leave. I am 100% certain that every one of them would have returned. And as a person who has to deal with adolescents everyday (like Skydog also) sometimes they just have to be put in line.

this will prob get put out of order too :(

I can assure you (as I wasn't online when the shit hit the fan) that some people were NOT just doing it to piss him off.

With the whole kids thing. Yes, they need to be put in line but you have to know how to do it. Saying "you're not allowed to talk about it" just makes it worse instead of running it's course (not trying to beat a deadhorse as ben has apologized for that, just why I disagree with that course of action)

so, according to SD, BBK got booted on 12/07. BBKZZ (same IP as DW) also got banned. BBKZ didn't post, so SD never banned him, but BBKZZ and BBK both were banned, so now SD is saying RIP to BBKZ along with DW.
