Okay, I accept that and I agree. My bad

Fair enough, mumi. You misunderstood - we all do sometimes. I applaud you for being a stand up guy.

[The Sultan]

OK. All Tower has ever said was that moderators (Dodds, Rocky, every moderator on every board) make and enforce whatever rules they see fit. It's their job. In that respect they are all alike. He NEVER said that Dodds and Rocky, for example, have the same rules and/or enforcement policies. But you, Fluff, etc., seem to want to attribute that argument to him and fight about it. Which makes zero sense. OK?

Tower's argument is like saying "Wojo and Pop are the same thing - they are both basketball coaches."

So yes, while that is undoubtedly true, there are substantial differences on how they coach and how successful they have been.  Just like there are substantial differences on how the boards are moderated, which is entirely the point of a discussion board in the first place.

Tower's "argument"? What argument was that? Oh, there was no argument? Just a simple statement of fact that you decided to turn into an argument? 10-4.

We are in agreement

He entered the discussion on a discussion board and it was discussed. I let it go but you had to do you Chicoesque thing and be a prickish pedant LONG after I was done.

Add value Lenny. Don't just be a back benching Chico's. I know it's a difficult step but you can take it! 

[Galway Eagle]

Tower just admit it you're a paid influencer by Dodd's to redeem his public perception within the greater MU basketball forum community.

We see through this charade.

[tower912]

People get paid?  Damn.

Nice personal attack. Adding value as always. You calling someone else prickish is priceless. And BTW the other guy who jumped on Tower over nothing apologized. You? LOL.

Creighton might be in the market for a new coach

I doubt it. He's handled it about as well as one could. Had he tried to downplay it or said he misspoke (i.e. Belein) you'd be on to something, but I think he'll survive this.

Gtown up 15 at the half on XU.  Figures.

Forget the racial undertones

I honestly don't know how that saying even came to him.

[4everwarriors]

Coulda bin worse. At leest he didn't read a Dr. Seuss book two da teem, hey?

Bizarre indeed.

Mr. Rogers is next.

Lots of snowflakes in this world, aina?

Yeah, I know. We can't even read books to our kids that were written by an avowed racist and that are filled with racist imagery. What's next? Not letting them smoke cigs advertised by Joe Camel and eat chips endorsed by the Frito Bandito? You said it best the other day, Doc: America sucks!

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Pretty common saying back in the day. I know I certainly heard my parents use it. Being a naive, milky white boy, I was oblivious to the racial connotations.

[MU82]

Creighton might be in the market for a new coach

I hope not. He seemed very contrite, said and did all the right things, and as far as any of us knows this has not been a problem for him in the past. I hope he and Creighton can move past this, and the experience will make all of them better.

Wasn't the founder of planned parenthood a rabid racist?  Priorities.

[willie warrior]

Yes there are, and lots on this board also.

I don't know. Do you read books to 4-year-olds that were written by the founder of Planned Parenthood?
