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.
Besides Passion who was truly angered by that piece?
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.
At first Bow Down to Willingham just seemed bitter, then it got political. So I bought another copy to give as a gift.... POW!!
If it's Derek's site. He can do what he wants. Same thing with Kim & Dawgman.
The difference is Kim resorted to outright censorship on the paid board. I had no problem with Kim banning people who were going too far on the free boards. Big fucking deal. Its the censorship thats the problem. Derek isn't censoring anything (although ironically his non-football posts may need to be censored as they can curb the growth of the board).
If Derek wants to have a growing and flourishing husky football community that is desperately needed considering the lack of honest and objective alternatives then he'll moderate as needed. If he wants to have a big circle jerk, well its his decision to do so. I doubt that a little moderation here or there will change the entertainment and style of the overall board but it will encourage the growth of the community as many on dawgman are running for the exits.
Is it wrong that I want to drop some citrus in this thread just to clarify what is offensive and what isn't?
LOL, just the other day I was thinking to myself what remarkable restraint you've demonstrated, given how many times you duped me over at HHv.1 with that thing.
I don't mind those type of posts...though it was essentially a political and divisive piece....but theres a time and place for that and if you want to grow a small community you can't post divisive stuff on a topic not related to husky football. At least move it to an OT board.
I know a few people who like Derek's books, are disappointed with Dawgman but won't join HH because they were turned off by the white guilt thing. I would just hate to see this type of stuff prevent many reasonable and informed husky fans from joining HH, and I would like to see Derek's voice grow.......Fuck, right now the big voices are Softy and fucking Kim. Jesus.

I don't know what happened to Derek. Somewhere along the line he just became bitter and political. That's no way to go through life. Sad.

Never click on a link by Sven. Just a common rule.

I didn't know that Harvey Road and DAO are the same person. Good to know...... he's always treated me like the Dawgshit that I am and I've had some interesting Internet repartee with the DAO half.

I can't believe that actually worked.
Just to be clear, I thought the content was terrible but was ok with it's placement on the front page.
