Ummmm.... what did we all miss???
« on: April 12, 2018, 11:02:00 PM »
Would someone please explain why the Syria thread was locked?

A completely civil and existential discussion on WWII, not to mention - dare I say - potentially educational stuff in there for some, and it’s shut down?  WTF?

If this is supposed to be a meta-lesson in fascism and censorship, epic fail, mods.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

MU82 isn't allowed to start non basketball threads.  Tugg too... but he's not a problem anymore.

Not sure either. 

However, we have a track record of showing why we can't have nice things.

It may seem arbitrary, but sticking to that simple rule has kept the superbar nearly enjoyable the past few months.  And yes, it took me over a day to notice MU82 started a thread here.

Zero tolerance rules are dumb. MU82 has toned down his stuff considerably while Tugg never could.

Perhaps.  But we simply restarted it and I'm sure Rocky is fine about it.  A fine offseason topic no doubt.  We should try to do this more.

Ah, I was wondering about Heisy's unusual silence.  What finally got him voted off the island?

I tend to agree, but they are easily enforced.  And when we're talking about this free board with volunteer mods, I've got no problem with them erring on the side of easily enforced.  Besides, it would seem that this dumb, arbitrary rule also happens to have been effective.

And I say that with no disrespect for MU82 at all; I like the guy.

Sorry, but we needed to apply it to our anti-ornament friend. May need to expand. #Obey
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Free board, volunteer moderators.  They are entitled to simplify their lives.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Mea culpa; I take it all back... on second reflection, this was not an epic fail after all.  In fact, it's a great lesson about not being able to escape the discrimination and arbitrary punishment of an autocratic regime simply by renouncing your ways. 

And the cherry on top of 82 being born into a Jewish family but now being an atheist, I mean, just, wow [head explosion hand and sound effects]... I'm honestly disappointed in myself that I didn't pick up on it earlier.

Well done, mods.  Well done, indeed.

Tots and Prayers

They ate tots then prayed on how they were going to make 82 uncomfortable without resorting to ornaments  :o ;)

Maybe my trip to Mexico will solve all of Scoop's problems.

No problem Benny, and thanks! It's rare that people accurately recognized us for being even worse than they were assuming!

Thread relates to basketball.      We have long leashes.   Everyone gets a lot of chances until they don't, and then they get even more until they don't.

Light touch.  Totally inconsistent.  That's how we roll.  Viva Scoop, Arbys.

Let's give MU82 a break in this one. People have been/will be pardoned for far worse
