Don't know about the ban, but it has been an extreme pleasure not having him post with his clutered attachments, pictorials, and life experiences in each instance.
But now I have to subscribe to the New Yorker to get all those cartoons...

Can somebody "enlighten" me as to why Keefe was banned?

Keefe is a great poster. I think he brings a lot to the board, really smart guy with a lot of business acumen and historical knowledge.

Totally agree. Don't know the specifics and haven't asked, but I can't imagine that he did something heinous enough to cause a suspension/ban. Have always found his points well founded and his arguments well thought out. Maybe too cerebral for some on this board. Hope this absence, if forced, is temporary.

I was pretty sure this was the reason...thought he was going back in due to the shortage

Speculation is that Keefe is serving time in scoop jail. ;)
I hear Chicos gave Keefe the lowdown on how to pass the time during a scoop time out.

Too cerebral? Are you freaking kidding me? keefe is the type of poster that gives this site a bad name. He posts racist propaganda, from Nazi pics to anti-Native American pics in the Cohen thread, then hides behind the "Oh, it's okay because it's historical, it's classy because it was in the New Yorker" line of garbage. His presence brings Scoop down to the level of the Badger boards. The stuff he posted in the Cohen threads is the type of drivel that can legitimately drive recruits away. And before anyone says "Oh, those are the types of recruits we don't want anyway" consider how you would feel if the fans of a school you were interested in were casting racist epithets your way as you consider whether or not that's where you want to spend 4 years of your life.
Anyone that thinks posting a string of Hitler pictures on this site isn't the kind of stuff that can give Marquette, its fans, and MUScoop a bad name with recruits and their parents is an idiot. If I saw the kind of stuff keefe posted on here and the mods didn't take action I would certainly assume that not only did that Marquette fan feel racist propaganda was perfectly fine but obviously others agree with him by their lack of censoring him.
On his best days he came across as a troll, on his worst days he came across as a hate-monger. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope he's gone permanently.

Wow! Please don't go the Florida, Florida, Florida thread...if what Keefe posted bothers you this much, some of the comments in there will make your head explode.
-
Hey mods, any way we can cut this Keefe crap out of here? Maybe make a keefe thread in the super bar? It's a shame he'll ruin yet another thread about a great recruit, despite not even posting in it. A top 100 kid from WI commits, and it devolves into this.

Apparently the difference between a thread in regards to a potential recruit and making light of his ethnicity and a Superbar thread in regards to a polarizing issue is 'too cerebral' for you.

did he make light of the trayvon martin murder with a geraldo type hoodie comment? if you don't get banned for that crap, feel free to take me off this board as well...

Wow. This is the most hate filled personal assault I've ever seen on Scoop. Don't like humor about certain topics? Your prerogative, but please spare us the self righteous, book burnin', hang em high rants.
Like all of us, Keefe has his warts, but from what I've read he has more creativity than anyone on this board. He's smart, accomplished, interesting, courageous and sometimes outrageous. If that makes you angry, fine. But don't paint him with your one dimensional broad brush. It only makes you look small.

Agreed. Not to mention the next post he makes about basketball will be his first one.

Sorry, but some of his posts in the deleted Cohen thread were simply awful. Obviously the mods saw the light in deleting that thread.

I agree with this as well. It was if he flipped out or something because they were way over the top.

Agreed.
Nothing against keefe - if not-funny-when-they-were-first-published New Yorker cartoons are your thing, he's your man.
But his insistence on posting racial caricatures then claiming it's totes cool because he's making an important point makes this place look awful at times.
-

So, it only reflects poorly on the university if racist comments/pictures are posted in a thread about a recruit? Otherwise such comments, etc. are ok? Interesting stance.

Sorry. Am I supposed to kiss the ass of the guy that posted more Nazi propaganda and swastikas than all other Scoopers combined because it was historical? I'm sorry if it's all coming out at once. I honestly tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but just because you have traveled the world and served our country doesn't change the simple truth that a racist jerk is a racist jerk.
I tried. I really did. If you feel I'm being high and mighty, well...I guess you never read one of keefe's posts. He gives Marquette fans a bad name. You may not believe that, but I guarantee you it's true, and I guarantee the Nazi propaganda and racist New Yorker comics he passes off as "funny" don't go unnoticed by recruits and their parents.
-
It was bad enough posting what he posted. But what really irritated me was when he was asked to delete it he argued why he should not have to delete it. Consequently he was justly deleted.

Actually, the two worst "hate filled personal assaults" I've ever read on MUScoop were made by keefe early on in his posting history. To his credit, keefe moved away from those types of posts. I do remember brewcity being the target of some first rate vitriol in one of these early keefe posts, however.

Yeah, but keefe/warthog/whatever has done that crap over and over (and gets banned each time). Some people aren't mature enough to handle the anonymity of the Internet and treat others with respect.
On another topic, I'm looking forward to Sandy's hair! :)

Yes.
And FYI, it was a 7 day ban that has already expired.

I was unaware of the history between Keefe and Brew but it explains a lot. Still, racist, Nazi propagandist and hate monger are pretty harsh. If Keefe was worse (I'm having a hard time imagining anything worse) I apologize and stand corrected.
-
Maybe it's my advanced age, but I found Keefe's posts to be examples of one using hyperbole and satire to make his points. Edgy, yeah, confrontational, yup, maybe even inflammatory. But, I did not think his posts were racially motivated and I do not believe that he is a racist. I'm not looking for a point by point analysis of his or Brew's or anyone's posts here. Just giving you my take based on what I have read and know of the man.
You don't rise through the officer ranks in the USAF if you cannot demonstrate your ability to lead and relate to people of all colors and from all walks of life.
And you don't raise the kind of money he has for the global poor of various colors if you don't have a true concern for all of them regardless of race or creed. I find the criticisms of his posts to be indicative of a politically correct few and I hope I speak for more of the posters here than they do.

+1. Well stated

I've exchanged messages with keefe in the past, and he's a solid guy and a great Marquette fan. This board is better with him. Hope he keeps posting here.

Wow! Please don't go the Florida, Florida, Florida thread...if what Keefe posted bothers you this much, some of the comments in there will make your head explode.
Especially with your inability to process them

As rocky said .. 7 day ban, already expired.
Guys, in case you haven't noticed these past 6 years .. the moderation philosophy here? Incredibly tolerant. Besides spammers, I think we can count on one hand the number of people we've banned permanently.
The method to the madness is that we give people a lengthy amount of rope, and when they are at the end .. they get a time out. Oh, the horror. Someone can't use Scoop for a few days = waterboarding. Always fun to read the umbrage, too.
By my count, over 2-3 years, keefe is on his 3rd incarnation after getting vacations and coming back as someone new. I'd guess he's already here with a new name. He'll tone it down for a while, maybe.
To be honest, I'd taken some advice I've given out many times before .. he was the one guy I had on ignore; shirking my moderating duties. ;) .. I had to unignore when his messages were "reported to moderator" by a bunch of posters in the Cohen thread.
-
I remember last November when keefe first popped up, and his use of the term "Mo" for Mormons and also for homosexuals. Just a little over the top.
He's also added a lot to this board too.
I've exchanged pm's with him, and enjoyed our conversations. Seems like a very genuine guy.
Brew, I love much of what you write. Was the first to compliment you for your prediction last year. Your retribution thread was just a tiny bit over the top. Racist... No. Just over the top.
We've (including myself) all posted stupid sh1t here at times. Chicos, Lenny, terror, Kenosha,brew, pakuni, stache....et al. The only one that gets a pass is Legs for "doable"! ;)
I hope Keefe returns....as Keefe. Maybe tone it down a just a wee bit. Besides, he's bringing the fancy pants 800 year old booze to Chicos' house for the upcoming scoop thanksgiving dinner.
In terms of Keefe's continued absence, he's likely in Alaska this week on a fishing trip....no mystery. I look forward to his pics in the fishing thread.
By the way, what does it say about us or about keefe when we have a thread about him?
-
Maybe he can mark his return with a haiku.
-
Keefe and I have had our run-ins.
While I'm not a fan of everything he posts, his PMs seem to be those of a well-thought and caring person.
He is Scoop's official crazy but lovable uncle.
-

One of my favorite books ever is "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey. Keefe is the closest thing our loony bin known as Scoop has to Randall P McMurphy.

Everyone posting in keefe's defense seem to have had lengthy PM conversations with him. The problem with that mindset is most people, especially casual readers of the site (like recruits, their friends, and parents) will only see snapshots without any context as to the character or background of the poster.
One of the problems is that whether keefe is racist or not is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that when mods close a thread and his response is Nazi jackboots and communist propaganda, he is posting that for everyone to see. So the mother of a recruit that doesn't know anything else about the site clicks into a thread and sees all the garbage pics he has an incessant need to post and rather than PMing questions to him as to why he does it, they simply see him as a racist prick and if the mods aren't censoring it, apparently Marquette fans are cool with that (after all, MU is in the site's name and the clear topic of discussion).
Anyone who thinks this doesn't matter, remember that one of Sandy Cohen's teammates posted in the thread that keefe filled with his New Yorker drivel that came out as anti-Native American. If Dakota saw those posts, my guess is Cohen and his family saw them as well. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want the first impression recruits have of Marquette fans to be stuff that derides their race.
So is keefe the crazy uncle? Sure...he's the crazy uncle with the rebel flag flying while he sits out on his porch on 27th and Atkinson blasting David Allan Coe's Underground Album with a bottle of moonshine half empty at his feet. Maybe none of it is inherently racist, but if you can't see the potential for trouble your eyes are closed.

Welcome to the fam, Sandy!
Can we lift Keefe's ban now?
Was I banned?? I was off the grid fishing in Alaska with 5 buddies from flight school for the past 10 days.
-
Really? We're going down this road again, keefe? You're touched.
It's not me you a$$hole.

Don't know what happened between you and Keefe, but I think it speaks volumes that so many posters are in touch with him off line and think so well of him. As for recruits or parents of same, don't you think that the Cohen's have been following Scoop for a while now, not just during the last few weeks of Sandy's recruitment/commitment process? Doesn't seem to have impacted the process and I'm sure they and other potentials are wise enough to know that every fan base has a diverse population. As for your last paragraph, hyperbole r you.

Where did you go? I'm leaving for Alaska next week for 10 days with the family. Welcome back.
Just PM'd you the details but we spent 10 days in Gustavus/Glacier Bay. It's further south, near Juneau, but a spectacular place. Caught lots of 40 lb kings, 100 lb halibut, and random ling cod, rockfish, and sharks. I air freighted back almost 500 lbs of fish which I am giving to Northwest Harvest, a local food bank.
You and yours will love Alaska. It is still a mystical place.

I can't wait. Looking forward to no internet, good family time, no calls from the office or programmers. Just some clean air, nature and fun.
-
Never had a PM with him. Initially he annoyed me with his hyperbole, but then I came to look forward to his commentary, as I do, quite frankly to yours, brewcity77. He is clearly an interesting bloke, and hope he hangs around.

This nothing but a bs fish story till you post some pics in the fishing thread.
-
I didn't know so many Scoopers were having PM conversations period, let alone with Keefe.
-
While pedantic at times, he is seldom dull. I for one saw nothing racist in the New Yorker post and place people whose panties got in a wad with those scolds who feel obliged to find criticism in the least thing. I lament that we have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves and some take umbrage at the most trivial of items.

I think that Susan Sontag said it best;
"He wasn't bashful about showing himself to be feverishly erudite, … terminally droll, and a wizard phrasemaker."

The fishing was superb. As was the evening chatter, cohibas, Alaskan Amber, single malt, and camaraderie. We ate like kings and slayed our share of fish. A good time was had by all.

Call me when you get back from Alaska. I know of a Vulcan/Paul Allen opportunity that may have some traction for you.

I'm a parent of a 2013 recruit and I discovered muscoop while investigating the school and nothing I read on the site caused me any hesitation with Marquette University. I was entertained with some of the characters here, including Keefe, but since my daughter isn't playing on the men's basketball team, the opinionated criticisms were just fun to read. I also had a few PM's with him and I found him to be the kind of guy I'd enjoy having some liquor with. This site, along with the alumni in my area far from Wisconsin, did clue me in on the great reputation the school has had with parents and grads, so in that sense the site helped me realize the school could be a special place for my kid. Plus when I posted a couple months ago for places to go and things to do during Freshman move-in, I got great suggestions from the regulars and I got to say Keefe was very helpful.
-
I love me some Keefe, but would prefer if he used cartoons from playboy. preferrably, not ones that he cuts and pastes from his personal collection.

What's wrong with MUBill's counter? How can someone have zero posts?
