I know my opinion don't really count, but looks like you have it balanced nicely.

So why the meltdown on the other thread? You met my insults with insults of your own. I thought you did a pretty good job. Instead you went and revamped everything to where everyone has to tiptoe on eggshells. I figured that being the men that we were, people could take it as well as they were dishing it out, and have been since I joined here.

No, he changed things where mob rule doesn't happen. Instead you are expected to articulate your viewpoints and support them instead of having a gang attack others whom disagree with you.

The rules are very simple... be respectful of others, no matter their viewpoints, and articulate and support your arguments. If you do that, everything will be cool.

Hey man, I've never once asked anyone to attack on my behalf. I handle my own battles, always have. I see how you tried to throw me under the bus in the other thread before it was closed too. You can blame me all you want, but you could at least thank me too, for helping get you back into mod status.

I wasn't talking to you.

Maybe not. One of the new mods has already made his feelings known about what he would and wouldn't accept if he ever happened to be a mod here and they were not good and amounted to censorship of whatever he disagreed with. This is like giving Chris Matthews editiorial control over Fox News.

The Tea and Crumpets board was DRAMATICALLY better than what the Spin Room has become. It was a matter of time before yet another gay "reefer madness" thread or someone saying fag or someone saying something vaguely racist before I would act on it.

And FWIW ..... I give some of the liberal trolls even up odds as being first to get banned.

He said I had some gang attack people that disagreed with me. Try to keep up.

Not sure which post to which you are referring, but I did not mean to throw anybody under the bus. We're just getting this forum to where it should be... respectful, but passionate debate.

If that happens GTS has already stated he will handle it. I wouldn't worry about it.

Here's to this being an improvement overall.

IMO, this place has gone hill since the ESPN posters joined.

You said this was all my fault, which it is, so to anyone that doesn't like the new board, I apologize. To those who like it, you're welcome.

I agree, but hopefully this will take care of it...hope it works out all around.

I'll do it if I get one of those Men in Black memory things.

I’m pretty sure “gone hill” is a derogatory slur against West Virginians.
