Hey Nate..I am trying to be respectful and forthright in saying this, I dont think one would have to look through many threads to see where you and he would clash. Often for no reason other than you both seem to not like each other. Nothing wrong with that, I have a poster that I just cant allow myself to read for fear that I will want to jump on him and his posts with both feet...I cant help it..difference is that it does bring to question your ability to ban someone that you feel this way about. It is unfortunate that Sly did not perform that feat instead of you as there would be no apparent personal motive.

I respect your opinion, and I'm trying to hopefully explain WHY I did it, or at least how I viewed the situation. You're right, he and I have a long and storied feud that spans the course of years. The reason why I took action is because I was the one who unbanned him from the last permanent ban that he incurred. We allowed him back under the condition that the personal attacks would stop. Completely. He was on probation and there was no term for that probation. We didn't have to allow him back at all. So as the person who brought him back unilaterally, I felt that his breaking the conditions of his probation was justification to remove him again.

This also wasn't the first time he has attacked people or gotten into arguments, so I think he had a lot of chances to change, but he simply couldn't.

How was he not attacking me with this post?



I hadn't called him out. I merely asked him why he always behaved this way in LMA threads.



I kept "badgering him" because I wanted to know what he meant. He completely ignored me and then got defensive about it.

I posted this



He posted this



I think I remained pretty calm during the whole thing. He was the one being argumentative and inflammatory





As I said, I wanted to know what he meant. I took his ignoring me to mean that he knew he had crossed a line, and he didn't want to admit that he had.

I just think that A. People make mistakes, and B. It's just a sports forum, if some one calls you a loser or something you shouldn't take it to heart. That being said I see a lot of confrontation between both of you, and depending on how strict you want to be you could make a case for each of you personally attacking the other. I personally view it as neither of you really did much of anything.
 
I can honestly say that I think it's a shame PapaG is gone. He had his flaws, but I liked him.

I can also say that he was a challenge for moderators, because he (in my experience) took it upon himself to peck at moderators, hoping to make them crack. It didn't bother me, but obviously that kind of behavior is going to be irritating to many of his targets.

Minstrel why must you always leave us?
 
Spud & I talked about how in the basketball forum, we'd make a comment or ask a question in the discussion and got ignored, where questions and comments from male posters got responses. Either by coincidence all the women are super boring posters or are views are considered by definition less important than men's.

I honestly do not recall you posting in the normal forum all that much in day to day Blazer discussions. Mainly see you in OT. And I had no clue spud was a girl. It seems like some girls think guys make their sex an issue, yet I have hardly ever seen a new poster come in and mention that they're a guy. For all I know, many of the new posters can be. But I have seen a few girls do it. BF was the worst in that she felt she needed to go over the top to somehow earn respect. Nobody gives a shit.
 
Holy shit. A Minstrel sighting. It's been forever since I've encountered him.

That's because women make silly mistakes like are instead of our. We all know that every man is a super genius so we want to impress each other.

Oh man. Are you THE Vintage, the Bulls/Cowboys bandwagon rider?

Hey, the 90s were a great era, weren't they?

I'm just kidding, probably. How've you been?
 
The reason I let MarAzul know was that when he found out I was gay he said something like "god gave you a dick and instructions what to do with it". And several other posters were ahead of me.

As for making a typo when in a hurry, I guess that shows that women should be bosses and men secretaries.

Good one. I want you to know that I respect you enough to make fun of you. I don't know what that says about me but it is what it is.

Awe. You remembered. Look at me blush.

Doing well. Married now. One son, another on the way. My sports team are disappointing. I'm used to it though.

You? How have you been?

Wow, that's great. Congratulations for all of these developments. It must be exciting to be a parent.

Doing just fine. No kids yet, but in a serious relationship that's fulfilling, so that's pretty exciting itself.

Oh, sure, now you say we didn't fulfill your needs. What does she give you that we didn't? WHAT'S WRONG WITH US??? IS IT THAT WE GOT FAT?

As far as I knew, you've been with the supermodels all this time. Did you expect me not to move on?

I thought you'd wait for me. It was only a phase.

Thanks. Parenting is very exciting. And exhausting. But definitely enjoyable.


And congrats to you as well. Its good to hear that posters that I have a great deal of respect for are well and happy.

I have a problem with someone calling members of this forum bigots and racists. Maybe you don't but I do. There was nothing more being added to the discussion of why PapaG was banned. Only bitching.

Just because I hate all other people different from me does not mean I am a bigot or a racist.
