1 team having issues for multiple weeks sure makes things very tough. They can't let the Titans get multiple games played behind the rest of the league.

That could actually happen.

4-12 might do it.

McD's mask was upside down in the second half. I hope he isn't suspended too.

Just MO but I understand the rationale of the first parts of your post. I also agree that in a vacuum, or through a soda straw DR's posts were caustic. I feel like there are two things that didn't make there way through the soda straw: 1. DR has been constantly baited by a series of new posters that offer no content whatsoever. They seem to have literally created IDs just to badger primarily him and by extension anyone that agrees with any political opinions they don't share. That is what is different than it was in the years you weren't on here. There used to be lefties on here that put in well reasoned thoughts like Kelly and even Pasta. There are still a few but they are harder to find. Kelly, Pasta, etc. and some conservatives as well have been replaced by posters who I won't name but whose histories are searchable and clearly not meant to contribute to any conversation. "Back in the day" discussions got heated and there was name calling. There really weren't a lot of people randomly posting nonsensical gifs meant solely to disrupt. I find the banishing of DR understandable in a soda straw, but not really if its isolated to just him when others are far worse. Basically he snapped. It's like the guy drawing a 5 minute major because the ref didn't see the opponent continually slashing. I'm not saying TFR was the slashing offender necessarily but there are several. I don't know from whom the 5-6 reports complaining about DR came from but I'd guess that there is a good chance that they came from people that have either baited him in the past or simply don't agree with him politically and who would not lodge a similar complaint about an offender with whom they agree politically. 2. I think that the existence of PPP has likely saved you a lot of headaches over the years because there is an outlet to remove political talk from the main board or have it not show up in the first place. I think you'd agree that most political threads started over the last several years on the main board were by people unaware of PPP. Posters here, left or right, don't really do that as near as I can tell. There is a big difference in moving a thread or comment to PPP versus just deleting it. Not all of the stuff would make its way from PPP to the main board, but some would. And it would be a giant unsolvable pain. I'm not saying you deserve that because you don't. But it would be inevitable. I'll summarize by saying that none of this is your fault and I'm guessing that everyone understands that. I think that a quick fix through one soda straw, in any situation, is not commonly going to make the problems go away even though that is unfortunate. At the end of the day though it is your board. There is no question about that nor should there be.

Time flies. I sure miss you Eugene.

Not sure who it is but 100% sure it's a past or future serial killer.

Have you seen any libs saying identical things to righties? Hint:. You won't have to scroll back very far.

Dude

On the weekend do you drive down to your local cesspool to take in the smells? If not, could you apply the same actions to this site? Would it be difficult? It is my guess that if PPP were deleted that politics from both sides would leak into the main board far more frequently and make the mods jobs there harder than they are now.

If it were up to you, would you apply this same standard to someone who has declared police all to be cogs in a terrorist organization?

That's clearly written through your prism.

I don't think you should be banned for that but I'm wondering if you can explain the difference between that and what DR's ban was based upon.

Agreed on the owner's rights. He can ban someone for being bald if he wants. Geno disappears for long stretches at times. Dude, you're a lefty. That's cool. But what you just posted above is something written through your prism. I don't agree with everything DR has posted but that isn't what's been cited as the reason he's been banned. A lot of what DR posts is controversial but the Deep State stuff has come with a lot of documentation and a lot of predictions that have come true and some that are waiting for the 12th. Meanwhile there is a thread about how cops across the US are an organized terrorist threat. That thread is left alone and apparently hasn't caught your attention at all. I support leaving the the police thread alone, along with DR's because I think people should make their own judgements. For you to decide what is crazed and what should be left alone is contrary to the whole point of having a board to begin with, especially regarding politics. And if you can't see in 5 minutes which posters are bots I don't know what to say about that.

This is what I don't understand. Any research at all would show that. It's here every day. I'm not sure why these rules are applied selectively. It's either a moderated board or it's not. I support the largely unmonitored concept but whatever the rules are, they should be applied equally.

I'll agree with you on two small parts of this otherwise seemingly purposely deceptive post. 1. It is a private site and its owner has full rights to do what he wants. 2. DR flew off the handle verbally and taken in isolation the post to TFR looked bad. The rest of your post is trash and if you were banned for something similar, you wouldn't be happy. The main board has different rules than this side and that is how it's designed. With that said, 1000 threads in here would have been "merged" under the rules of the main board. 950 of them are from lefty trolls. That was DR's main complaint in the offended NYG thread. He was right about that but could have handled it differently. The thread topic itself, given its content, was either designed to troll, or completely inane.....your pick. Just about every poster on here has said something impolite. If you look at DR's post in a vacuum it seems more than impolite. If you look at it in context, all it does is expose the whiny nature of the lefties holding their breath until they get their way. He has had hundreds of posts targeting either him or his content in very sophomoric fashion....well sophomore is 10th grade so I'm being kind there. Maybe he shouldn't have snapped back but he did. Sorry buttercup. I support the largely unmonitored nature of this board. That even extends to people making threads about police being a terrorist group based on their own hatred. All threads like that one do are help expose the truth about the topic and the OP. If we're going to support crap like that thread we ought to be able to tolerate someone flying off the handle after being baited continuously. But congrats to you and the other lefties for whining enough to get DR banned. You can take your fingers out of your ears and stop singing la la la now.

Hoax

DR is subtle? That's an interesting take.

You think you're being subtle when you talk down to people and I find that hysterically funny. You're calling for civility while at the same time insinuating that people beneath you are incapable of your standards because you think you are so much smarter than most.

Only you can do that. You're the betterer maker.

And as long as this community has your high fallutin standards we'll all be better off. What we have done without you to tell us all how we should behave?

That's a little strong IMO but he is a major snowflake. A lot of people grow up though and he might someday.

Yay yay I got my way.

Who defines civil? Oh, that's right it's you.

Dude your definition of civil is everyone agreeing with your takes on Covid.
