As far as the "retarded" poster, i think way too many people are getting upset over something thats not really THAT big of a deal. Be honest, have any of you ever muttered the "R" word when they were ticked off? Or any other slur? Yet we get all huffy when someone posts something like that. Yes, it's in bad taste, and i wouldn't do it. But i also know i have said stuff under my breathe that i would'nt be proud of. And unless your name is Jesus, I bet you ALL have too.
I have seen fat people used as "humor", and yet no one gets all worked up about that. I have been fat for a long time, and i don't sit in front of the TV eatting 5 bags of Doritos every day. But i can laugh at that stuff too. The world is so busy trying to be "PC", they let the REAL issues go by without doing anything about them.
Yeah......it's a rant. But it's how i feel.

Are any of us prefect, absolutely not.

But I think it is a common sense issue that some things shouldn't be fair game to humor in this context. I fail to see the humor in poking fun at someone that is mentally challenged or implying that someone is.

As far as I am concerned I don't like the amount of latitude that is given in the Back Alley, but it has been noted as a free for all and I would rather have the disagreements there than someplace else.

But even there, I firmly believe that some things should be held a little in check... otherwise we are going to start to get comments about Mothers, Sisters or something even further down the nonsense scale and the hurt is going to past what can be undone.

You say PC.. in this case, I think it is common sense and taste.

But that is my opinion.. and how I choose to conduct myself... each to their own in the back alley as the rules are currently.

As far as DD80 vs. Zero.. that is their game.. if they want to play it is the Back Alley's place to contain such a pairing.

I called Zero names in the Back Alley, after he labeled my post the "sniveling bitch" thing. You show me where I've called someone a name OUTSIDE of the back alley without being insulted first.

And Zero you are wrong, I've never bitched about the crap slung at me without someone whining about how disrespectful I am to other member first.

I don't care about people attacking me, it's comical, but don't then turn around and get pissy at me because I did it to someone else.

You don't like my views, I get it, but I'm not tucking my tail between my legs and running away because you think I should or "you've shown me".

I make a football related post and immediately someone counters it, then 5 people chime in with sarcastic comments, which are completely off-topic personal slams that add no substance to the thread. If I did that it would get moved, PM hand-slaps, and 5 people telling me how rude I am.

Alot of you are on some kind of weird power-trip based on censorship or something. I hear how my posts are "stupid" yet the same 4-5 people are there either responding or backing-up the person responding EVERY single time I post something.

If you don't like it DO NOT READ IT or disagree with it with rationale debate. I'm all for it, I enjoy it. You will discredit most things said because it's easier to say "DD hates TT" than to debate things rationally. If your opinion is "I just hate TT" why do you feel the need to respond and tell me that at all, just move on.

I shot a PM off to dd80 and we are throwing things back and forth via PM. It will be discussed and resolved that way, not publicly for others to twist words around.

I don't have the time to deal with this 'he said she said' crap. I know what was said. If some don't trust or believe me, I really do not care. I know I'm not innocent in this and thus I have started talking to dd80 directly to get a common understanding of where each is at. In hopes to avoid the public lashing like little kids on the forum. I don't want to read it, nor does anyone else.

So in regards to himself and I and the drama, keep your nose out of it or PM me about it. That's all I'm saying about it.

The real issue here is what the hell happened to Ninja's post? I want to know and I want to know as soon as possible! I have a guess and if that is true, I'm extremely pissed off about it.

If you read it all, you'd see i said it was in poor taste, and that i wouldn't have posted it. I was agreeing with what was said against it.
Heck, i don't even like the extreme stuff said in the back alley. Like you said, it goes way overboard and will only lead to worse things.

ALL i meant was that one person posting something like the poster thing shouldn't make the person condemned, or that the person is a bad person for posting it. Like you said, no one is "prefect" (LOLOL!!!) and i think labeling this a bad place because of one post like that is going overboard in my view.

So....was it wrong? YES
But in the overall scheme of things should a person get the guilotine for it?
I don't think so.

In poor taste? Yes.
But everyone makes mistakes, so it's been taken care of, so why get so worked up?

I am far from worked up.. no one mentioned the SOB Belicheck in the thread yet. :lol:

Just stating an opinion that "off-color" type humor shouldn't be easily accepted if it has the least chance so being offensive to anyone that it isn't intended to be directed at... regardless of whom or where it is posted.

All good Cheesey.. all good.

BTW... I make all kinds of fun with my peg-leg.. hopefully that offends no one..

Hey, guys, I admitted to posting the photo when I did it (didn't hide behind my edit button), and I also took responsibility for it above in this thread. I also deleted it promptly when the OP brought it to my attention. It's kind of ironic, actually. I posted that picture very late at night, found myself unable to sleep, and got up to delete it. Turns out this thread had been created. I guess the moral of the story is I should always trust my instincts when it comes to questionable things like this.

Now I'd really appreciate it if this thread got locked (I won't do it myself, for obvious conflict of interest reasons), since it's become another battleground for mudslinging. It really troubles me that I had a part to play in yet another divisive discussion on this site, and I'd like to apologize to everyone here.

I know......and i make fun of myself all the time. I learned LONG ago not to take myself too seriously!
Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

And Nonstop..........i know some got worked up, but i'm not one of them. I also have posted things that i wished i hadn't. I think MOST of us do that at LEAST once.
We are all only human!
So don't let it keep you up one more night!!!

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (10h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (15h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
