Especially owners and mods.

working late DB? Glad you are back.

Quote:Exhibit A: Men who engage in online misogynistic abuse are probably bad at the computer games.

LOL.

Bob: "Man, I cannot get past level 3 in this game. Uggh. Well, f*ck it. I'm going to go misogynistically abuse some women online..."

(time elapses)

Tom: "So Bob, how did it go?"

Bob: "OH great. Harassing women online Totally made me feel better about my frustration getting stuck in level 3. I'm just not good at computer games. But harassing women online, it's a good outlet -- and I'm pretty good at it, too!"

Tom: "That's swell, Bob. You should always do things that you're good at. Playing that video game definitely isn't one of them!"

(mutual chuckle)

Is DB working late? It's 12:30 in Colorado, you're posting at 2:30 AM and sounding quite unlike yourself.

Are you trashed and on vacation?

Major, if you drink, I would love to buy you a drink. I doubt you would let that happen, as you likely feel I wronged you. Fair is fair.

But, the offer is there. My father in law is also a Michigan Hall of Fame HS Football coach. (Something, I understand you are a member of). You possess a unique perspective with football (the players and coaches). Glad you are coming on board for what is going to be an interesting season.

You have no idea.

your welcome too. What games will you be attending this year?

Hockey.

Quote:Officers with rifles greeted the couple on their front lawn in Sterling, Va., and tackled their son William on the porch. They had been drawn by a chilling post attributed to William on a popular local Web forum: “I JUST SHOT MY PARENTS NOW I WILL KILL MY SISTER.”

LOL. OMG --I can't believe the cops read forums and take it that seriously!

Quote:Trolls are the bane of online forums, games and comment sections, sowing discord with inflammatory remarks and needling other users for laughs.

To be honest, it made me chuckle...

Quote:Both Moreno and his mother have sought counseling.

Screw that. I would have been pissed, but also chuckled about it myself ("touche") and fought back with some antics of my own at the guy.

Agree. Major is a big boy and has been wronged by experts in the past. No big deal.

Oh the pilot id, I expected Chuck! So to address your statement, why should I?

No worries, we have a board doing just fine with as much or more traffic than here.
