[Cracked Sidewalks] Marquette's PR Nightmare

[LastWarrior]

Ok then, I'll take this thread in a different direction.  You're now banned for life, because for a second summer in a row you've proved that you only want to argue.  I'm done with it.  And now everyone else can be too.  Let they joyousness in the thread prevail....don't worry...these posts won't be ghosts in any machine as you like to claim so often.

Thanks Rocky!!

I have agreed with Chico's on a lot of stuff over the years, but recently his posts had become uber polarizing for everybody here... which really degenerated a lot of legit discussions and turned them into sh*tty internet debates.

I swear to God, if Chico's said the sky was blue, and handful of posters would disagree because that's what they have trained themselves to do.

I appreciate the moderation of this site, and I think in this situation, they really had 2 options:

#1 Increase moderation and move off-topic posts/threads into the superbar (similar to NL Central thread). This includes: Buzz vs Crean, Chico's vs Ners, Chico's vs the mob, Jay Bee vs Carrie Underwood, etc.

Or

#2 Warn and subsequently ban posters who consistently hijack legit topics and ruin a lot of interesting topics.  

#1 isn't really a great option because it would require more work from the mods. (and ultimately more criticism with phrases like "ghost posts") So, #2 is the obvious choice.

I applaud you mods. I appreciate and respect your decision making here.

I, for one, welcome our new Internet overlords.

Well, this reporter was...possibly a little hasty earlier and would like to reaffirm his allegiance to this country and its human president. May not be perfect, but it's still the best government we have.  For now.

The mods do this for fun.   Note the lack of advertising.    If a poster makes it stop being fun....after repeated warnings....bannings are going to happen.    I defended the poster formerly known as chico for years, because I thought he provided valuable insight.    Lately, he had become insufferable and I had him on ignore for weeks.    The opportunity for moral outrage about MU proved to be his downfall.   It was predictable.  I am sure you can find out what he-who-must-not-be-named is thinking over at Cracked Sidewalks.
