SECDAWG just went the way of Damone

I really dislike this part of running the site.
Okay, first off, I am not accepting donations earmarked for banning anybody. I want to make that clear. I did that once upon a time with an obnoxious poster. In the moment I thought it was funny but afterward I didn't feel good about it and told myself I wouldn't do it again.
As recently as 45 minutes ago I had no intentions of banning SECDAWG. But I was seeing the super-obnoxious vomit posting and I began to send warnings.
In a PM I likened the situation to where I'm running a bar and sometimes he's the drunk guy going around from table-to-table harassing the customers and telling them their team sucks and Georgia would kick their ass. I conveyed to him that this is a big night in the history of Husky football and I would like to see our posters celebrate and enjoy themselves. It's fine to tell everyone that you think Georgia would kick UW's ass. But going from table-to-table, as it were, or thread-to-thread with the same vomit posting, was degrading the experience of the board.
It makes me feel uneasy to consider banning because I'm such a free speech advocate and don't like having to do this. But like with Damone telling me to fuck off, when I asked my southern pod to back off and let threads breathe and let the people enjoy themselves, his response was that people were dissing Georgia and he was "comin' hard". When I reiterated my points, he challenged me to ban him.
So reluctantly, I had to let him go again, and this time permanently. And let me say, when he's not drunkenly shit posting all over the board, he's a very interesting guy with an interesting life. I saw hundreds of pics of him and his family out hunting, fishing, enjoying the river, watching football, gathered around the 'ol fire pit, etc. I enjoyed those interactions.
But he's a Jekyl and Hyde type, and the obnoxious vomit posting on nights like this just became too much tonight.
Like with Damone, it didn't have to end this way. My conscious is clear but it's still sucks to pull the plug.
I don’t have a good TYFYS gif so this’ll have to do.
I was all in favor of banning our Pod the first time around but then grew to enjoy about 81% of his posts his second time here. There was an angry and dumb element to his posting in the last couple weeks though and it sounds like he didn’t enjoy seeing the receipts.
Vaya con dios pod. -
@SECDAWG suffers from an incurable case of SEC SEC SEC syndrome, he cannot help himself. He cannot accept that his heroes aren't always the best team on the field and can be beat. All in all I thought he was a decent poaster, but he lacked objectivity and was hell bent on throwing a turd in the punchbowl last night, so IMO, @DerekJohnson did the right, albeit difficult, thing.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:DerekJohnson said:I really dislike this part of running the site.

Bis bald pod, du Scheißkopf. -
Too bad he couldn’t get it together. Always thought his take on things was off — more than most here — but at the end of the day, if you can’t control your gag reflex, it’s going to fuck you.

In most years he is right. Sec is really good,

I’m sorry he’s gone. He was a weak SEC cocksucker, but he was our weak SEC cocksucker

I tolerate his retardation most of the time, but last night was a bridge too far. It was tim

When it was more than three lines, my mind instantly went into TL, DR mode
I enjoyed getting under his skin. As someone who has been near or in the gulag a lot, I'm more tolerant of shenanigans, but I don't get what he added. He was the biggest SEC homer I've ever seen, and I used to be on a site that was half SEC guys. -
He added nothing of value 99% of the time. That was my main issue with him. I can handle dumb takes, but when you’re fagging up every thread bringing up off topic shit no one else is even talking about, I have a problem with that.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:When it was more than three lines, my mind instantly went into TL, DR mode

And then re-ban after talking shit for a few days.PostGameOrangeSlices said:#bring back the pod
in like a week and a half when we are national champs
No warning, just gone. -
Having a kook like @SECDAWG is a part of what makes this place special. Pod will forever be part of the HH lexicon.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:DerekJohnson said:I really dislike this part of running the site.

But even Derek isn't a free speech absolutist and every once in a while you gotta throw the drunken AIDs out of the bar for the good of our close knit society.
