That makes perfect sense!

Perhaps someone more qualified should take his place?

If you don't like how this place is run you can go to the MWC board...

Well guess what, retard? This IS the MWC Board.

Shouldn't you be on your knees over at the BE board?

It's still under the same umbrella as the BE board. If you have a problem with how things are run here there's a whole MWC board for you.

No, I don't need to be on my knees, my team didn't go crawling back to the MWC because it was afraid of competition.

KJ,

Telling people to go back to mwc dot com isn't exactly the best way to deal with issues either.

Boisefan,

This entire board does have a tighter moderation policy than TOS. It does take some getting used to. But in time everyone will get used to it.

I'm really not going to attack Yoda nor will I defend beej here. I don't read every post on the BE Board because 99% of that stuff just doesn't interest me anymore. I think people gotta understand what those Cincy/USC/UConn fans been through the past 15/16 months. They go from a league set to have a great TV Deal to a league where the biggest names leave, plus TCU decides to join the BIG XII, C7 leaves, and then the biggest addition in Boise decides not to join. Times of uncertainly leads to times where those guys just don't want to hear an outsiders opinion. Just last week I reached out to Yoda asking him to leave those BE guys alone. Since its only a forum ban, I say by the time things settle down the ban will ultimately be lifted.

I'm no fan of cheerleader boards and I love a difference of opinion. A difference of opinion is the #1 thing that drives traffic and keeps threads going.

I gotta admit this this is the first time I've ever seen this much outcry over someone being forum banned.

I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that I've been posting for so long and have a reputation as a rather mild poster. I'm going to regret this admission because most Fresno fans don't even know this and will probably give me some grief over it, but "Plan Bee" -- which was an idea to add Fresno & Boise to the Big East in football only in 2005 -- was named such by a Fresno poster who imagined that my posting style would be much like Aunt Bee's (Andy Griffith Show), if she had been alive and posting back then. I never really saw the resemblance myself but he still often calls me "Bee". I wouldn't offer that admission but to explain why I think a lot of MWC fans are so surprised by this. So congratulations BJUnklFkr, you've frigging banned Aunt Bee. LOL...

I'm not trying to set myself up as a highly respected, exempt from criticism, poster. I'm like everybody else -- I have my supporters and my detractors. Some think that my plans and strategies make some sense and some think I'm a nut case -- and it's possible that both are at least partially correct. But generally, I think I'm reasonably well respected for being passionate, articulate and knowledgeable -- and for contributing to threads; not for disrupting them.

So mine is not quite the profile of the kind of person who usually gets banned; it's actually quite the opposite. Hence the surprise.

Yoda out...

Yoda,

Even I have to admit that I never had issues with you between this board or TOS in the past. Timing is everything. Picture a BE Troll(not saying you're a troll) heads to the MWC and gloats about the BE and knocks the MWC at its lowest point. I'm sure the board would be in an uproar, even if the trolling was subtle and really harmless.

His 'agenda' belongs on the MWC board. I think that was the point...

And from what I've observed, most of the BE fans are pretty pleased BSU is gone as they did not want to give into those 'unusual' demands... Basically along the comments from the Navy AD said last week. It's almost unanimous on the BE board. No hard feelings about it...

Why would an action plan for the Big East belong on the MWC board?

Why would questions about the Big East and it's members belong on the MWC board?

Why would hypotheses about differing scenarios involving the Big East belong on the MWC board?

Just wondering... Because I wasn't touting one conference over the other. My agenda was a national conference -- and that involved both conferences. Many of those who listened actually agreed with what I posted. And most of those who didn't listen instead violated the AUP by personally attacking me, repeatedly, without rebuke from the mods. Even since the banning, there have been a number of posts that have entirely misstated my agenda and then criticized me for the agenda that they mistakenly thought I had.

Yoda out...

So you come onto this board to share your comments, but the same isn't allowed on your board, hmm?

Interesting contradiction. Blissfully hypocritical.

And it wasn't a MWC scenario by and large - you obviously didn't read it, or just jumped into the frying pan while it was on the fire. He was talking about a true best of the rest conference for a long time, and was pointing the BE to do something about it before BSU decided to stay in the MWC. The fact it involved a number of schools in the BE makes it "off topic", huh?

And when you say "most of the BE fans" I'm assuming you mean the ECU & Memphis fans who prefer attacking to a real dialogue.

Your post is just so full of win! 04-chairshot

happens all the time on the MWC board actually but they don't get banned unless they violate the TOS which Yoda did not do here.

inconsistent enforcement

I hope this doesn't make it next door and the super duper moderator gets you.

Too bad we can't have forums for each conference where everyone can discuss those conferences.

Holy cow. Dude, believe me, I only ended up here by accident. This thread was originally on the Big East board. 03-zzz03-zzz You seem blissfully unaware... but obviously someone moved it to the MWC board. Epic fail...

BSU didn't 'decide' to stay in the MWC, it played one against the other to get an 'unheard' of deal. Good for your side though, it's just business.

Respectfully, I'll head back to my board. Buena suerte to your team...!

RE: Banning Yoda was stupid..... I 'm out!!!!!
What is funny is that Big Easters were calling out Yoda for posting in a thread whose original premise was to bring in his school (Fresno) to the Big East.

The Big Easters wanted to discuss adding Fresno, but didn;t want any Fresno posters in the thread...
