As for this part, I do my best to be correct in these situations and for this I owe DR somewhat of an apology. I reread the messages yet again and he did not accuse another member of actually being a pedophile himself, but (paraphrasing) that the member supports those causes and that’s what the member stands for. The technical misrepresentation is completely my fault and I own that. However, the distinction between the two is rather small and the sentiment is essentially the same. Thank you for pointing it out.

I think the only appropriate thing to say here is that the lack of suspension does not imply what your suggesting. And for the record, it’s been 6.75 years. I will also say, for better or worse, depending on the time frame we all change. I’m nothing like the 29 year that started this. Nor the 35 year old. Nor the 45 year old.

You can go back to the original post and edit it.

I didn’t look at anything other than accounts that had the same origin. That was reason enough, so I stopped.

It wasn’t hard for either of us. Some people with children just aren’t the parental types. I mean not even a smidgen. It what it is. But it a colorful story to tell. My parents kept me apart from them when I was kid. I’d ask and I would be redirected. Once I was told not to ask. Oldest looked me up 11 years ago on Facebook. I’m good friends with her and her family and grandchildren. I stay at her house when visiting. We text occasionally. I don’t talk much to the other three and their families.

[This is an automated response] As a courtesy to the other board members, please use more descriptive topic titles. A single name if far too vague to post as a title and provides little insight into what specifically the post is talking about.The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate. Thank you.

Got it. I think people didn’t understand what was going on. It seemed clear to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I was the one who told his other four kids that he passed away after reading that topic. I mean, what a messed up situation.

which posts? Did you look up his posting history? in the shoutbox, he eschewed fatherly discussions for posting links to NFL news tweets. Lol. Generally dry and factual. I did learn he spilled a bowl of tomato soup on the carpet and needed to how to clean it up before his wife came home this past January or so. That’s pretty much the only peek into his actual life 38 years since I woke up one particular day in 1983.

I must have posted a new topic? Doesn’t seem right. I’m sure I posted something like the next day. I didn’t want to make it about me.

I will offer up another sad, dark, seriously? factoid… My father ditched the family when I was in eighth grade, so somewhere near my 13th birthday. Never had much contact with him after that except for a funeral. Fast forward to the year 2002 - I get a random email from him telling me that he’s been reading my site for years and never knew it was mine. Then he just stop talking to me LOL. fast forward again to last year I think? I am shooting the ***** in the shout box and someone brings up the blizzard of 77. This poster says they were stuck in a restaurant near Buffalo but came from my dinky little hometown. Like a clueless idiot I asked them who they were because well hey I’m from there! Turns out my father registered as Kemp2Warlick and has been posting here for years and posting in the shoutbox. Has a son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Couldn’t give a rats ass. However, he was very up on what Adam Schefter had to report around the NFL. And sometimes we’d be the only half a dozen people chatting in the shoutbox. 😂 He passed away recently and his wife, whom I never met, posted here under his display name to let us know how much he loved the community and that he had finally died.

could you please rephrase the title? It’s probably not worth any potential controversy for questionable choice of words. Thanks.

This is probably peripheral to the discussion I've been trying to have, but the above responses beg the question... Did DR come after the one verifiably known person here that is actually on the sex offender registry? Again, not trying to be argumentative. Just curious given the unique situation.

I am not trying to be argumentative here. I am seriously curious.

Is this a defense? 🤔

The number of people who have asked me to shut this place down over the years is numerous. It is not limited to anything that has happened recently. The situation here is no different than what other places of discussion have faced across the internet.

if you bothered to read the original post, this is unequivocally not the situation under discussion. I would be happy to listen to responses to the original post, not a random theory.

many people keep asserting that I’m wrong. Therefore, I am being completely transparent about what I acted on. I am politely asking for others to tell me what I missed or what I interpreted incorrectly. Do you have a response to the above? and to answer your question, I routinely take ownership and responsibility when I am wrong and do my best to make corrections.

Just so everyone sow's I broke out my post from page 23.

FYI, I broke this out to a separate topic. I encourage direct responses to what I have posted here. Thanks.

Oh, and one last thing… The PM ***** storm that I got pulled into had to do with DR continually accusing another member of supporting child abuse, which DR doubled down on. (I incorrectly stated that the accusation was of direct abuse. I apologize for error.)

I realized in my long rambling post that I did make it easy for people like I requested others make it easy for me/us. So, let me expand upon the recent events, that came after the "post in this topic to ***** on X", a 30 day suspension, multiple attempts to bypass it, and an ensuing PM pissing match upon return. This is what I was told to look at: (My interpretation is that The Frankish Reich is being accused of making a duplicate topic. The response below.)

Don't think I will. I gave you weeks of civility, you wanted none of it. Now you just get the horns. Your choice, Frank. " https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/191395-the-deep-state-war-heats-up-ph34r/?do=findComment&comment=6752991 I have looked over pages and pages and pages of posts by TFR and other than pushing back on positions, conspiracy theories and sometimes the general bent of PPP, I see absolutely nothing outside the normal back and forth of political talk that justified any of this on the heels on that suspension. TFR's posting history (I apologize for pulling you into this): https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/profile/24239-the-frankish-reich/content/?type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1 Maybe I missed something. 🤷‍♂️ I also want to make it clear that TFR did not report anything. Another member did. So I ask: 1. What do I tell the member who reported the above and expresses to us that another member is facing unwarranted, repetitive abuse? 2. What am I supposed to do after reading the above after just going through this scenario with the reported member? 3. As this country becomes more polarized and as our discourse increasingly gets more extreme, why would I want this Buffalo Bills Community associated with the above (among other things)? A lot of people post anonymously here. I, however, am not (or at least it is the worst secret ever). I want to note that, unless I missed it, friends of DR didn't exactly call for him to relax. Posters have responded that people here handle it themselves. So far I have failed to see where TFR needed to be handled like this. I do see DR needing to take a step back (IMO), but no advice was offered (unless it was done privately and he ignored it). Edit: Oh, and one last thing… The PM ***** storm that I got pulled into had to do with DR continually accusing another member of supporting child abuse, which DR asserted in PM. (I incorrectly posted that the DR accused the member of actual abuse. I apologize for my mistake.) Just additional information from my point of view.

To make a clarification... I know my rambling post seems like it was a complete tell-all, but it wasn't it. Plenty of people report posters like BillStime and and a whole host of others. It was the source of my "tell a better story in reports" request. Reporting a person by calling them annoying or saying they posted an annoying meme in PPP is not something anyone is ever going to take the time to investigate. Also let it be told, we have been telling everyone for weeks/months? to stop reporting trivial matters, regardless of the poster or their philosophy.

Since this became an issue here, I’m letting you know that I have permanently banned: buffalobillsfootball GoBuffalo716 BillZtime along with two others accounts and BillStime for 30 days. A couple notes: For the love of God please stop with the bot conspiracy nonsense. Look up Occam‘s razor. Secondly, if you feel a situation is so egregious that it needs to be reported, take the time and explain it to me like I’m five. Put a bow on it. Providing minimal information and expecting me to play Sherlock Holmes to try and piece together a vague situation together on my own almost never happens. Thanks.

The problem is the light is off many times. I’ve been waiting for it to go on. 😀

As someone who has a terrible time with spelling mistakes on his phone, I sympathize. LOL
