At first Bow Down to Willingham just seemed bitter, then it got political. So I bought another copy to give as a gift.... POW!!Mad_Son said:
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.He_Needs_More_Time said:
Besides Passion who was truly angered by that piece?DerekJohnson said:
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.TheKobeStopper said:
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.MikeDamone said: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.

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.

If it took them this long WDWTA. Speaking only for me

But no one had an issue with the content...just that it was an NFL post on the front page...Just to be clear. -
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.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Is it wrong that I want to drop some citrus in this thread just to clarify what is offensive and what isn't?

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.

I can't believe that actually worked. -
turned off by the white guilt thing.
That happens when you have white guilt. Predictably -
This all sounds like a great topic for a podcast.

Whats a "Sven"?

Just to be clear, I thought the content was terrible but was ok with it's placement on the front page. -
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.

They're not the same person.Tailgater said: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.
Except when they are.
-
P.S: It will always be appropriate Internet board protocol to ban cooglosers and duckfuckers from a winning website and you really don't need to explain or have a reason. It's likely more fun for some of us if you don't, but no loss big or small when you do.

@ Harvey Road
You should have lurked around a bit longer to get a feel for the boards or sent me a PM because I have this place dialed in. -
Just wanted to say Hi is all.KeitelAvenue said:

That's exactlyHillsboroDuck said:
Harv is many things, but a Coog is not one of them.He_Needs_More_Time said:
I'd argue this whole day has been cringe embarassing for everyone including myself. I mean the main topic we are discussing on a Husky board is a Coog getting banned.MikeDamone said:
*cringe. Embarrassing really.He_Needs_More_Time said:
Yes I did since he's been doing that all day. Also Mods I'd like to report that Damone is picking on me? Since we ban people now for picking on others apparently.MikeDamone said:
Did you just drop the equivalent of "I know I am but what are you"?He_Needs_More_Time said:
CouldTheKobeStopper said:
Could Harvs balls be any further down your throat?He_Needs_More_Time said:
No shit! Now we'll be talking about how Harv was banned instead of before. Either way this board is dominated by Harv.TierbsHsotBoobs said:It's a good thing we banned Harv. The bored is totally back on topic now.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
He still wins.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.Dereks?RoadDawgs be any further down yours?
If you can't see how this banning then reaction is exactly what Harv wanted then I can't help you.
Good Christ. Stop.
What's Harv's new handle? CHRIST?DerekJohnson said:I have just banned Harvey Road aka DUCKSareOVERRATED. Several months ago I told Harvey privately that I watched him single-handedly turn The Dawgboard into a cesspool and that I would not allow that to happen here. Harvey replied that Husky fans needed this site and that he would not sully what we were doing here. He said he was leaving and I told him that he could be an asset to us down the road and to come back if he ever wished to.
Recently, Harv reappeared on the scene. And as time went by, his sentiments had clearly changed and he began attacking newcomers who aren't yet part of the "inner circle" of people here. He and I had another heart-to-heart, and I told him that while I appreciate his humor in general, for this board to grow and become a robust counterbalance we can't have newbies hesitant to post for fear of being attacked by him. I told him I was ready to ban him and asked where he stood. He said that he is what he is, a Coug who hates Dawgs and doogs equally, and to ban him if I must. He asked that I post the reason for his banning on the site, and I told him no problem.
So there's the reasoning. -

Cuog, fabulously rich, world traveler, music aficionado, message board star. Hates UW. His best alt, which somehow survived an extended period on doogman, was dicksareunderrated. I almost dont hate him that much because of that.Pitchfork51 said:I've never known the story behind harv
Also would have been on my side protesting Alice in Chains being left out of the rock band tourney thing on yella's board, but would have been otherwise insufferable during that.
