Yep, this is only about you. A legend in your own mind.
Why should we run for cover? How is reposting things on this site already shared on this site damaging in any way?Our are you talking about the standard that we shouldn't say things online that we wouldn't want people in our lives to know about? My question is, why wouldn't you hold yourself to that standard? Most of us do that already.
TAMU, as I said in my post, I was not referring to you.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
regardless basketball for brains-you know what you are doing and why and it sure ain't for anything good...because you guys don't like my politics, you do what the "mostly peaceful' types do and try to hurt people in other ways, i.e. their businesses. instead of trying to burn mine down physically, you are trying to hurt it via doxing. your post was way out of line. there was absolutely no redeeming quality to it, but it sure made you feel good if you were to be successful in hurting my business, understand you are hurting employees and patients. if i brought up east troy, it was because it was pertinent to or it was in context with the discussion, i don't really remember. i know it wasn't to put my business in harms way. you however are doing just that and it's beyond WRONG. it is abhorrent and people like you should not be allowed to post here if that is your goal to hurt fellow posters financially one last thing-the people who really know me, work for me, have done business with me, been patients of mine for over 35 years, some crossing the generation from my father to me including my kindergarten teacher, piano teacher, high school teachers, coaches, grandchildren of classmates and friends, etc.etc. they all know who i am. so stand proud basketball brains and dox away...
Furthermore, otherwise good people do terrible things sometimes. I won't speak in generalities here cause he's no longer present and has been named many times, but the Keefe example is prime. I know that myself and many others had great experiences with Keefe, likely largely involving nothing that made him divisive here. As Ive mentioned, he personally went out of his way numerous times to assist me and help me before I ever met him personally. But what he did was indefensible, pathetic, and extremely disappointing. I don't fault Goose for his mindset on it. Its hard to reconcile the offline person he knew with the disconnect that can often happen in online activities leading to something shameful.
Your very strong business brain doesn't understand rates and percentages vs. absolute numbers?
Whole lot of old guys worried about veiled and unveiled racist, misogynistic, homophobic and quite frankly classist things they’ve posted on a message board may have a real world implications.Guys, we’ve all posted things that haven’t aged well in the 15(?) years this place has been here. Maybe let’s just be better going forward.If you won’t put your dental practice behind what you post, don’t post it. Seems like a good mental check when posting.
I think a good rule is to only post things that you're willing to have read aloud to you in front of your family.
When I show my wife things I have posted here, the responses usually fall into these categories.Eye rollFunny. (Deadpan wife voice slightly more Interested than eye roll)You pulled your punch/you were nicer than that guy deserved.
I don’t share my or anyone else’s posts on Scoop with my wife. She’s well aware (after 50 years) that I’m hilarious and much kinder to people than they deserve, so what would be the point? Every once in a while she’ll ask me “What’s happening on the Marquette message board?” but it’s polite conversation, not any real desire for details. If she ever actually read a couple of pages here (especially in the Superbar or the in game threads) she’d be shocked at how awful this place can be and wonder what I’m doing here. But when I reminded her that (like you) I bring laughter to the joyless and kindness to the undeserving she would understand and support me in this often thankless pursuit.
I think this is the first Lenny’s post I’ve ever found funny.
LennyMy wife thinks I am a complete whack job with the time I spend on scoop and she probably is right. My scoop time is far from a secret in our family but I’m not calling her into the room to share “interesting “ comments or threads from scoop with her. One of my sons call me Goose from time to time and that usually triggers a brief conversation about scoop and my wife asking son if I am pissing people off or not.By the way, you forgot to mention your role as valued teacher on scoop. Some day, many of your nemesis scoopers will tell their children that “Lenny was right and what a blessing he is on scoop”. Until then, keep calling it as you see it. If it sinks into one scooper’s head, you made the world a better place.
Goose,I like Lenny and his commentary here on Scoop even though we have vast differences. He adds a lot to the board.But I don't think I will ever say “Lenny was right and what a blessing he is on scoop” to my kids.
I have zero interest in finding out more about scoopers than they wish to be shared. And I don't believe in bullying.
