John, If anything is being said that is untrue then I am 1000% sure this thread would get locked or deleted. I myself didn't think this thread would last the first day. Yes, CopyPaste did many people here a favor by posting links to save people the keystrokes of going to Twitter or Google and type in "Buffalo Bills" There seems to be a common thread and that if you argued at all with 26 you were insulted and then he refused to reply back to you. 26 even had an issue with the venerable Yolo and wouldn't reply to any comments Yolo posed to 26 on a topic. Was it jealousy? We'll never know. 26 has / had a tag that reads More insight and less incite. Unfortunately it applied more to himself than any other poster. I can tell you much and more just PM me. 17 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: Less incite, more insight. beat me to it

If you found him to be arrogant and intolerable then why continue interacting with him? It doesn't take long to recognize that this site has plenty of stupid, immature, unsavory, stubborn people posting here. It also doesn't take long to recognize that there are a number of fascinating people from a variety of locations (not exaggerating to say worldwide) who are illuminating. Those are the people I choose to respond to. What I find most objectionable is this continued ridiculing of someone who for obvious reasons decided to leave this site. He no longer is here to respond. In my view it is not right to continue to jab at someone who is no longer in the ring to punch back. There comes a point where criticizing and mocking someone who is absent from the room rises to the cowardly level of backstabbing someone. He doesn't want to engage with us any longer. So just leave him freaking alone! 2 1

There are a lot of posters that come and go. There are some I even miss. There are more that I am glad don't post anymore. 7 pages though for a guy so many claim to not like. This is like a break up where the posters here are the one who was left and now saying it was mutual and happy that it happened.

The moderators have never been reluctant to close out a topic when there is nothing productive left to say or the topic's lifespan has been exhausted. They are usually right in their judgments and kept this site functioning well and moving along. I have never publicly criticized any moderator because they volunteer their own time and provide a service for all of us. For that I am very appreciative. It's now time for them to step up and do the right thing and close this topic that has gone on for too long and serves no useful purpose.

Augie Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Apparently I never got into it with him, or just disregarded that back and forth. He did bring info to the table, and for that I was thankful. There are people here I generally ignore (shocking, I know), who bring a lot less to the table. 1

If you believe you see venom or untoward ridicule here, John, please feel free to report it. I haven't read every post in this thread, but what I have read seems to meet a reasonable standard of civility and being "above the belt" which is why it's still here. Edit: should be said that the mods are far from a "hive mind", which is one good purpose of the "report" function, lets several eyes have a look at stuff. 1

If you respond to me I can respond to you. And vice versa. That's not the case here. There are seven pages of responses mostly made up of ridiculing a person who is no longer participating on this site. The majority of posts on this topic are not respectful. They are mostly ridiculing responses for someone who isn't responding back. So what's the point of continuing on. Seven pages of denigrating someone serves what purpose? The issue has absolutely nothing to do with agreeing with me or not. I don't give dam. People can disagree with me as much as they want to. That's not the issue. It is about the continuing mocking and ridiculing of someone who is no longer here to respond to what is being said about him. 1

What's the point of this seven page and counting topic that has been going on for quite a while? He was a contributing member for a long time and provided a useful service. He departed. Go through some of the responses and you will have a better feel for what I am saying. Then come back and tell me what the utility of continuing on is.

Typically, threads die when they've run their course, and keep going when someone continues to contribute to them - including someone who doesn't think they should continue. I promise, I'll stop trading Warren Zevon lyrics with Buffalo716 now. 8 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: I’d like to meet his tailor On a side note is he the greatest 1 hit wonder of all time? love that song Total trivia: Zevon wrote the Ronstadt hit "Poor poor Pitiful Me".

Or was it 2??? I’ve seen others mention names (that because I’m a nosy body searched the archives) have been gone for over 3 years. When you insert yourself into a public forum and make an impression good or bad you will be remembered and spoken of. 3 maybe 4 mods have posted in this thread and have not closed it down. ShadyBF came close to getting a vacation but that reason took his football elsewhere. Edited February 5, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan

He knew nothing of football, the game or play beyond some history once in a while. His takes and viewpoints were terrible. To claim he added service is overstated - sorry, beyond copy and pasting he didn't. 1
