I've never understood why people don't just stop going to a site they don't like, instead of giving some big explanation. Who cares what you like - if you don't like THIS site, then go find another one that doesn't hurt your feelings or harm your sensibilities.
It's like a bar. Every one is different, with different crowds. If you're a little soft with thin skin, you're going to look for a different style bar than a tuff logger does. Don't go to the logger's bar and ask them to play Manilow and Lionel; Ritchie. Just leave, and go find the faggy bar that does play that shit. Now you're happy, and the loggers are happy.
This site is as good as it gets. Sure you have to wade through some over-the-top stuff, but the crowd here knows funny, they know the UW program, and they know football. Not everyone mind you, but the bulk of the membership takes football seriously. If you can't see that and learn to deal with the abrasive stuff, then just gtfo - asking everyone else to change the way they do things is bunk. The world doesn't need to conform to you, and it won't - so buck up, junior, or move on.
Somehow, I don't think this guy leaving is going to have any detrimental effect on this site, because someone else will show up that does like the way it is here. I say keep the site as is, and let this guy's replacement take the ball. Everyone talks about the pussification of Seattle - is the pussification of HH next because some sand gets in someon e's crack?
I hope not.
this message board is a lot more watered down from the other HHB-type boards in recent years. On those boards the posters got hazed for a few days.
Part of the problem comes down to fans having deep cynicism due to stupid decisions like hiring Coach Willingham. It all stems from the 'half brain' characterization.
some tips.... don't ever get pissed of or let a poster rattle you.... don't produced arguments of tortured ratiocination, deeply reasoned football posts are bullshit. Even half reasoned logic is usually a waste of time. Football posts show every conceivable logical fallacy and should be studied by logicians who could find new ones.
More HHB and less sensitive pussies.
Fuck them if they can't take a joke.
I'm not saying we should start stalking "prune fingers" again, or posting pictures of that troll at work (although that was fucking epic), but get a grip you drippy cunts.
Bring something to the table or STFU. Sit back and watch for awhile and leave IrishDoog the fuck alone.
All this fear of HH becoming PC is pretty funny. Why? Because it's already there.
Everyone on here adheres to PC standards, it just depends where you fall on the scale. I've never seen anyone use the terms "nigger," "nigra," "spic," "chink," "wop," "polock," "camel jockey," etc etc etc. These are offensive terms and I think most HH posters recognize they're pretty repugnant. And Derek would probably delete the post and ban the poster if it became a habit.
But "faggot" is pretty common, as is "retard." Lots of homosexuals or parents of retarded children are pretty offended by those terms. The sexist stuff appears regularly too.
Who knows where the line should be drawn? I'm certainly not going to lecture anyone about what they should or shouldn't say. For me, I just try to respect different groups of people and not be hypocritical. If I won't use a certain word because it's ugly and offends Group A, why should I freely use a word that offends Group B?
Again, it's all where we draw the line on the PC scale.

Niggers scare me. Fags potatoes and cunts, not so much. It's all about whom you feel you can safely piss off.

We'll take the niggers, the chinks, and the Jews, but NO Irish.
Mel Brooks is Jewish, still alive and kicking at 89, outlived his wife Ann Bancroft aka "Mrs. Robinson," and is still funny as fuck. If we're gonna ref Blazing Saddles, let's do it w/respect for brother Mel.
TRUE STORY applicable here. The company I worked for got a complaint from some of the office staff about a senior vp using too much profanity. HR tells the VP to tone it down or face discipline. VP says, "no problem I understand. I'll go apologize." Vp meets with the office staff and says "I understand there is some concern about my language...I want to apologize if I offended anyone." Office staff thanks him. "Anything else we need to talk about?" he asks. "No." The staff says, mollified. "Ok great," he says. "Now get the fuck back to work."

Technically it was: we'll give land to the Niggers and the Chinks, but we don't want the Irish.
I didn't feel the need to include the Jews, as Mel knew the Jews weren't working on the railroads, or building fake Rock Ridges

Fuck off already.
Isn't there a poem reading you're late for?
