    The fact that DJs Tebow article was the Outrage of The Day, proves the point of the article. Despite the fact that some were cool with the article, just a bit annoyed it was on the front page.

    I know you would LOVE to think that I was fuming over Derek's short opinion piece. That would really make your day. But the simple truth is that it doesn't belong on the front page. That was my problem. Content? Whatever.
    Obviously, I knew the Tebow piece would anger some people, and others would think, "what is he doing?" But I like the idea of periodically taking risks and shaking things up when done sincerely.

    Every board is better off with Harv than without it. Derek, I think banning him just opens up a can of worms.

    Also a bit hypocritical since we all complain how Kim is ban happy.

    A little Harv goes a long way. Boards are best when Harv is lurking and pops in every couple or months or things to liven things up and make his presence felt. If Derek takes Harv off his leash come September it will be interesting. If he does not, it will be less interesting.

    And while I agree with the sentiment about Harv making newbies his own personal millcreekcoog, Harv wasn't exactly running a train on RoadDawg by himself.
    RoadDawg was practically bending over inviting everyone to run a train on him. Did you see his posts the last 24 hours?

    Derek look at your original message for this board though. Your advice was for those who don't get it to lurk for a while so they aren't exposed. RoadDawg clearly doesn't get it.

    Harv is what he is. Anyone who takes his baiting seriously this forum is better off without them. I mean he basically ran that Bert Winthrop guy. Judging by his posts that was a good thing not a bad thing too.

    This also sets a bad precedent which you always complained about Kim. If you aren't toeing the company line you get banned. Harv wasn't toeing your company line so he was banned. Sets a terrible precedent going forward. Just like dawgboard did when they banned Harv's "cfetters" account but allowed other fake accounts on there.

    I've been getting feedback from several people who said they're looking for a new place to hang out but wouldn't do it with Harvey here...


    No offense Derek but that sounds like something Kim would say when banning someone. I trust that you won't turn this into dawgman but like I said I like the idea of everyone policing themselves.

    DAO wasn't a problem as that account was getting attacked and people weren't putting up with it. In fact Harv wasn't a problem until Road Dawg's recent struggles and continuing of taking Harv's bait.

    If these guys would stop taking the bait and simply relax then there is no need to ban anyone.
    Good Christ. I'm starting to feel sorry for you.
    Are you required to toe the company line around here all the time? Good christ what happened to you? You used to have some edge in your posts.
    Disagree. Damone had the nuts to stand up to Harv for himself rather than rely on a whisper campaign.

    I don't agree with everything Damone's saying but he's no coward, unlike apparently a lot of people here.

    I read stuff 81 times more offensive than that all day long at my jerb

    81 times more offensive? That wouldn't even move the needle on my "offense-meter".

    Hate to say it but I thought the same exact thing.

    Also, and more importantly, to whichever posters are complaining to Derek, NUT UP AND SAY IT ON THE BOARDS FOR YOURSELF.

    If this place is going to turn into an alleged "silent majority" who does nothing but bitch about other posters but never have the balls to ever actually voice their opinion for all to see then let's just save everyone the trouble and blow it up now.


    So if a bunch of people start messaging you privately about a user to ban them will you do that as well?

    Of course not. There are a few posters on here that I think are morons and that I don't enjoy reading. But they're not openly trying to sabotage our efforts, and I am happy that they are here and enjoying themselves and contributing.

    I wasn't angry but I strongly disagreed with the content. It is the same thing that kept me from getting Bow Down to Willingham.

    I didn't care for the Tebow article myself. I wasn't angry or out raged by it. I also know Derek's political beliefs and come to expect these type of pieces from him. I wasn't at all surprised just a tad disappointed is all.

    Like I said though besides Passion was anyone actually upset with the article? I'm going to say no.

    I'm hearing you deal with stuff you find much more offensive on a daily basis.

    Is it wrong that I want to drop some citrus in this thread just to clarify what is offensive and what isn't?
