TAMU is delusional.

Jay Bee,

I'm often embarrassed for others when they try to question your understanding of basketball and associated statistics. Please don't make the same mistake they do.

[GGGG]

TAMU is delusional.

Hey look who's posting embarrassing stuff again on a Saturday night!  Maybe should put the phone down next time you get hammered alone in your living room.

Edit: I am the ruiner of nice things.

[reinko]

Not alone or hammered. Your daughter is here and we're grilling t-bones.

What the hell is wrong with you.

This is disgusting and completely uncalled for. This should require deletion and an apology. I'll happily take down the quoted portion once you have deleted your post so the rest of Scoop doesn't have to be subject to it.

Eh.  No apology needed on my end.  It speaks more ill of him than anything.  (And I don't have a daughter anyway.)

Gentlemen (some of you) -

JayBee is incorrigible.  He enjoys pushing your buttons, pushing the envelope, saying the outrageous.

There is an alternative to feeling the outrage on his postings, the handy-dandy complementary INGORE tool.  Magically, you will not be subjected to him.

Use.  It.

You're right. I would have gotten filets, but the t-bones were priced right and I cheap-skated. I'll do better next time.

My buttons aren't being pushed in the least. I enjoy batting him around like a cat plays with a mouse.

The ignore tool does not remove objectionable content that, for better or worse, reflects on Marquette and the Marquette community.

The site also has other tools available to the moderators to address that behavior. By using those tools, magically, none of us would be subjected to what you describe as incorrigible.

In the words of a wise man, "Use. It."

Excuse me, but I did "use those tools" to remove the content you flagged. 

The tool I did not use was to ban JayBee for some period.   Want me to?  If you were a mod, do you think that would honestly help the situation?   A day, a week or month?  He is exactly the type that will create a new account, use a VPN, go to extremes to rage against the machine.

Ok, let's give it a try.

I'm not a mod nor did I ask for that. But the site has rules. When he engages in attacks and discriminatory comments and members point that out, they are just trying to insure that the rules the mods say they are here to enforce are enforced.

Are members unreasonable to call out bad behavior and use the report post function? Are members to be blamed because others use VPNs to create new accounts? Are members responsible for policing those accounts?

How you adjudicate the board and enforce the rules is at your discretion. What types and lengths of punishments you decide to utilize is at your discretion. But attacking the people that are asking for rules and general decorum be enforced seems like an odd method of doing that. I'm not sure why I'm the target of your ire when Jay Bee is the one you labeled incorrigible.

I'm gonna take your side here.

We also have "tools". We could and should just refuse to engage with someone like him. We all know what he is. We all need to shower after reading most of his comments.

I fall into the trap occasionally as do others. It's low hanging fruit to call him out for the d-bag that he is. But, rather than wallow with him, WE need to be better.

[mu_hilltopper]

So .. you felt "attacked" because I posted a general request (for the 852nd time) that people should use the ignore tool.     

Goodness gracious.

This ain't the hill I gonna die on, but when one poster feels the need to attack and make overtly sexual comments about another posters kids, I feel like a line has been crossed.  You are right, that the ignore is one way to handle it...but will other posters read crap like this and begin to think they now too can make comments like this?  While I don't think bans are helpful, because folks will alwats lurk, create new accounts...yadda yadda...but I think this milktoast wet noodle response JayBee is incorrigible.  He enjoys pushing your buttons, pushing the envelope, saying the outrageous. is not even passable for warning/condemnation.

+1. Brew (and some others) spend an inordinate amount of time being outraged. Feeling so morally, ethically, politically and intellectually superior must be exhausting. Reminds me of the Pharisee whose (rejected) prayer was "thanks for making me so much better than him" (the Publican).

I imagine I am an "other".  Just looking to help clean up the place a bit.  It's really easy not to be an a-hole on the internet.  Solution: Don't be an a-hole on the internet.  But Brew and folks like myself are the problem.

Uh. Try again. It isn't about being morally superior.

[mu_hilltopper]

I also find it interesting that this is how you manage this stuff but not how you manage politics.

I'm not really sure what this means.  We strive to execute moderation with an equal amount of inconsistency!

Being morally, ethically, politically and intellectually superior is awesome, and not at all exhausting.

I agree. Since we're worried about the perspective of the Marquette community, I find those that use their babies and letter boards as tools in Twitter recruiting of players just as embarrassing. At least Jay Bee hasn't been made fun of on other school's fansites like yourself.

I support the inconsistency, start your own board if you want a damn constitution and statutes governing its use. The rules are guidelines more than anything else, lighten up Francis.

No, it was the obvious condescension in your tone "There is an alternative to feeling the outrage on his postings, the handy-dandy complementary INGORE tool.  Magically, you will not be subjected to him." coupled with the defensive response you gave when you attempted to turn my questioning of these allowances back on me "The tool I did not use was to ban JayBee for some period.   Want me to?  If you were a mod, do you think that would honestly help the situation?   A day, a week or month?  He is exactly the type that will create a new account, use a VPN, go to extremes to rage against the machine."

As far as Lennys' comment, of the many quality responses, I'll second Reinko's:

I imagine I am an "other".  Just looking to help clean up the place a bit.  It's really easy not to be an a-hole on the internet.  Solution: Don't be an a-hole on the internet.  But Brew and folks like myself are the problem.   

I'm not at all exhausted, and the answer to not being called out as an a-hole is to not be an a-hole.

I agree. Since we're worried about the perspective of the Marquette community, I find those that use their babies and letter boards as tools in Twitter recruiting of players just as embarrassing. At least Jay Bee hasn't been made fun of on other school's fansites like yourself.

But the best...if I'm to be banned here for a Twitter post, so be it. However I'm pretty sure reporting my Twitter won't go to hilltopper.

But this can go sideways when a perceived block of like minded thinkers all act in unison, don't you think?  Outraged by some things, wholly supportive of others that might outrage the other side.
