Seriously ...

With ST's reappearance, our collective asshole nature of that so-so Yankee (you guys LOST, get over it) pitcher crashing into a NY building, GP's "let's all get together and post for a day," combined with our NFL, CFB, MLB, Golf, Scritti, politico, theology and the rest of the forums in here ... we
do have a pretty good thing going.
Amazing, in fact.
And it's not just me.
About a year ago, I met the online editor of the Rocky Mountain News. The RMN has set up an online "community," all seperate Web sites for all their suburbs, then they print pretty much everything that is posted, once a week, for each.
Biggie or Cuda, tell me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, I met dude at a forum, but before so, I asked him a question, in public, after he gave his talk about the benefits of an online community, yada yada. After his talk, I raised my hand and said, "So, if Raider Fan, insists on carrying out his argument among Bronco Fan, and if they get into it, does anybody police it?"
Him: "We let our users decide. But if your question is, if Raider Fan makes our community mad, do
we, as an online source, censor him? The answer is no.
Me: "So then how do you prevent Raider Fan from going out of control?"
Him: "We don't."
Me:
"How?"
Him: "Well, if there's something
really objectionable, our users will let us know, and if someone reports him, we'll take action, if there's anything illegal about it, otherwise, we pretty much let everything flow.
So after the clapping and everything, I walked down from the auditorium, and shake hands with dude.
Me: "No way you let everybody get away with shit. I've been posting on a 'smack board,' based on the Jim Rome show. It's a lot of fun, but there are times when people's threads have to be moved to like a trash forum."
Him: "Yeah, I understand what you are saying. We haven't reached that point yet."
Me: "You haven't? On my board, we have folks from all around the country who log into our board -- mostly professionals -- lawyers, media types, tech nerds, desk monkeys -- basically a lot of loyal guys who enjoy a good fight or laugh."
Him:

Really?
Me: Yep.
Him: You are lucky.

Yes.
Just my opinion of course, but this board has engaged in too much censorship.
I know the school of thought of those who disagree with me.
Oh well.
To each his own.
You're right, RF, we do have a good thing with this board.
Sure, everyone has a bitch about it, and some bitches have validity.
You're never going to please everyone.
You can find a decent place to talk about almost any topic on this board.
That ain't bad.
And it's free.

Never been a big fan of totally free for all boards with no one in charge. Without moderation to a certain extent, especially on the topic boards (CFB, MLB, Politics, etc.) you will eventually get over run by tards and end up like all the other SC boards have, in the internet dumpater.
This board has a good balance IMO, tending less towards the scat pics and grade school humor than a lot of the other boards do.
Perfect? No. Pretty good? Yep.

Pop,
'swat I'm sayin', bro.
Heck, you could tell me: Fuck Off, you POS paganistic, no good, lazy, no-church goin' heathenistic bastard; and I could say, hey, EAD you fundie, insecure, slant-eye lovin' fuckstain.
And we'd still dig on each other's thoughts and ideas and stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean by censorship, pops. We've banned some folks, because they have earned it with all of their might.
I'm not so sure why The Seer's takes always careen toward dick-sucking. Shirley, it's a little unnerving.
Rack this sordid clambake.

That's a reasonable observation. Probably could be traced to my well timed dialogue in a particular scene.............

Props to all those who take time out of their shitty little lives to moderate a forum here. I like it here myself. I mean I wouldn't really boast about playing here to anybody I really knew or anything. It is kind of like boasting about a certain porn star at a family reunion...the looks you'd get and the open mouths at the banquet table.
This place easily has the most people who bring the funnay, who bring a political argument, who even have a decent recipe for a rump roast. The only problem here is that we don't participate enough. We've got people here who know the entire history of the Hamm's brewing company, we've got people who actually walked with Jesus, we've got a few here who actually believe that Canada doesn't use bag balm on the udders of the U.S., we've got some Rambo types, some Barry Goldwater bomb 'em into a glass parking lot peeps, we've got some educators, some lawyers, teachers, t.v. stars from commercials, cops, and a butt load of people who sit in those small cubicles pretending to work while submitting a "take."
We've got some people MIA too: Toddowen, JHawkBCD, Catfish, ML@coyote, 3Putt, Ppanther, Sandman, InkyDave, Mild7, Mace's bastard party shorts, Rick in Salt Lake and others...but for all those who are missing, or to all those who never came here, and to all those that have been banned here, we have DINSDALE. Dinsdale is our "edge," he's our split fingered fast ball, our rope-a-dope, our Mary Lou Retton with balls, our resident Bob Vila, our Stephen Hawking, our Hunter S. Thompson. He is also our William Shatner, our Yogi Berra, our Zappa.
T1B basically has it all. It has tards too. Resident tards, tards who proudly call this place home. We've got the occasional drive-by tards from the other forums, tards who basically are tards there too. They are universal tards, Intergalactic tards in a Space/Time Continuum who just so happen land here just to prove why we have more than one board to post on.
Fuck it, I'll stay around awhile longer.

A large cauldron of delicious beef stew............with the occasional goat turd floating around just for looks.
I too like it here...after TouretteTrain broomed me, I thought about it for a second or two...
1)No one there who can spew poli like the folks here.
2)TA is a blazing A-Hole.
3)I can still cyber-croodle with CalaLily.
4)T1B is the Hammacher Schlemmer of BB's.

All the Messageboards are fun, Everyone has a different view of what's fun or not and I always figured the people who spend the time, money and effort to offer a hangout for my amusement can feel free to make up any rules they want to. There's some great peeps around these Boards and I've had hella fun over the years both online and in person with both the "Tards" and the "Dinsdales". Actually it's pretty amazing considering how fucked up we all are, we have cripples, geezers, lefties, righties , faggots, fat fucken slobs, rednecks, racists, hippies, alcoholics and drug abusers. We have members who crave sex with Midgets, Dwarfs and Retards, stick objects up their ass, shop at Walmart, drink Bud Lite and who's lives revolve around pimping windchimes, shit movies and BBQ Sauce. The snaggle toothed limeys and the clueless canucks, takeless twats from sea to shining sea and a misplaced American missionary in Korea make these getaways a meltingpot of various free entertainment.
Fun is fun.

Bullshit. I don’t like you and I make fun of you all the time. Don’t misunderstand. I don’t hate you, I don’t even dislike you. I just despise your stupidity.
