OPEN LETTER TO MUSCOOP MANAGEMENT - ELIMINATE THE POLITICS

[V1 Rotate]

To the owner operators of MUSCOOP


We come to you as a group of 11 long time posters begging you to clean up this site.  MUSCOOP has become unreadable despite messages from us to stop the constant politics that your site says no politics are allowed.  Politics appear to be encouraged.  We do not pretend to suggest your job is easy, but the last few months and especially the last few weeks have been the worst we have seen here and it is still June.  What happens here in October and November?  The same posters continue to violate your terms and pollute this board with their politics.  If you want to talk about politics, go to a political website or be consistent and tell us this in now a political site because the pinned message that says THIS IS A POLITICAL FREE ZONE is false advertising. 

It is ultimately your call and your site, but you are in danger of losing some valuable Marquette fans if they have not already left.  Please, for the final time, clean this site up and back up your cloains of a political free zone.



Who we are:
Dentists, lawyers, teachers, business people, law enforcement, IT, retired
Over 50,000 posts and 60 combined years of membership at MUSCOOP
Democrat, Republican, Independent.  Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian
From all parts of the United States
Marquette basketball fans


We have chosen to use a VPN to make this comment for one reason.  The attacks from one poster to another here has notched up to an unprecedented level.  Personal attacks.  None of the 11 of deserve to be attacked personally for asking you to enforce what your stated POLITICS FREE ZONE, but we know we will because of the nature of the membership here.  If the politics continue, you will notice the drop off and we will slip off into the night quietly to another site, or even create one of our own.

Generally, I agree, but threats are a strange way to go about this.

[4everwarriors]

Zero tolerance, aina?

[Anti-Dentite]

Taking politics out of it, Rocket Surgeon is dim and MU82 is a weasel turd.

[#UnleashSean]

There's a few that need a month vacation.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

I like it.  Scoop letter writing campaign. 

[The Sultan]

If I know who some of the 11 signers are, they are just as guilty.  They are just outnumbered.

That doesn't make it right, but they should perhaps look in the mirror.

[reinko]

This is the legit funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Bravo on the satire "Group of 11"

This. These individuals need to ask themselves if they've contributed to the problem as well.

[Pakuni]

Some of you take this place, and yourselves, way too seriously.

It's just an online message board where people anonymously discuss super important topics like the college interests of 16-year-old boys, various hack writers' takes, and the quality of cup holders at an arena.
I love it, by the way, but that's all it is.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

The thread title reminded me of this

+1. It's more pathetic than the beer summit.

Yep seems a bit whiny to me. There is like nothing going on with college basketball rn. Come back when the season starts. Not much to discuss

[reinko]

I'm legit still laughing at the prospect of 11 grown adults, PM'ing one another, brainstorming and writing this "open letter", then crafting the "who we are" statement, of dentists, lawyers, IT, retired...and then someone pulling out a calculator to add up everyone's posts, and total time spent here in Scoop, then throwing the old scary ultimatum of "you might lose valuable posters...

It's not even pathetic, and frackin' hilarious.

[Uncle Rico]

I admit, an open letter to a Marquette message board is a bit on the nose, aina?

[keefe]

Zero tolerance, aina?

Pilots heading down to ops while mechs turn wrenches for final tweaks, hey Doc?

Sad to see you all go.

Next man up.

I hope this is the work of Benny. If not...yeesh.

Benny's grammar would be better.

The last famous letter related to MU basketball ended soooooooooooo  well.

Couldn't have said it better.

If "The 11" want their own gated, safe community, my advice would be to go for it. I prefer the messy real world.

[cheebs09]

The last famous letter related to MU basketball ended soooooooooooo  well.

But the last Scoop letter campaign was a tremendous success.

[Pakuni]

The last famous letter related to MU basketball ended soooooooooooo  well.

At least the writers of that (alleged) letter had the courage to sign their names.
This is the equivalent of clipping words from a magazine, pasting them on a piece of construction paper and sliding it under Wojo's office door when no one is looking.
