What a Difference 5 Years Can Make for a Reasonable Person

[BlazerWookee]

Trust me, there are been a lot of talk about this amongst the staff. IMO PapaG is a unique case. He is and always has been a very knowledgeable and passionate Blazer fan. He is not and never has been a troll. Where he gets into trouble is his interactions with other fans. I think just about everyone agrees that he has some solid takes about the Blazers. As soon as he created his NewsSource moniker he PM'd me and told me it was him. I respect that. He wasn't trying to hide or fool anyone. He wants to talk about the team he loves in a place full of others who love the same team.

That said, because of his past history if he does start insulting others again he will be banned. No suspensions, no cute edits, he'll be gone. He knows it's wrong. Doesn't matter if someone insults him first or someone else steals his lunch money or whatever. If he really needs to insult anyone he can insult me. Anyone else and he's gone.

There's a Steven A. Smith joke in here somewhere...

SPD, I would like an exemption for me. PapaG can call me any name in the book and I won't take umbrage. In fact, that goes for the entire forum. Anyone can call me anything.

Nah, we'll just take shifts cruising by your house in the middle of the night.

People would complain that the mods weren't being fair. They wouldn't look at who was being insulted but instead that we allowed someone to get away with insulting members. The reason why I allow myself to be insulted is because I often edit insults to be directed at me.

Then they should grow a pair. And before I hear from crandc, of course I mean a pair of Fallopian tubes.

So by that logic if you start editing insults to be directed at Maxie then it will be okay to insult him.

I usually write posts to insult all of you because I like turtles
