[img_r]http://tancast.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/arguing_on_the_internet.jpg[/img_r]It's not about your unintelligent points, it's about your lack of common curiosity 😛.

And the only reason I post that is to lighten the place up. Because everyone cares about a lonely person the internet whining 😛.
But still, that ban offer is still on the table. XD.

Added image to illustrate poster's point. -- NSD ;)

Now, a moderator stoops to the level of posting a picture of a handicapped child to "insult" dd80.

I have called out dd80 before for his irrational dislike for Aaron Rodgers, but I did it respectfully. I really wish everyone else would do the same. But when moderators and admins are the worst offenders, it doesn't really set a good example for everyone else.

You guys really need to check yourselves.

It's not surprising that people degenerate into name calling and insults, because the basic argument has been lingering for a year now. It's perpetuated for all of several reasons but the only consistency is that we choose to do so. But if we stopped there'd be nothing to discuss. Sometimes I'm glad I have university exams that demand my attention. Wait, no, no I don't. Exams suck.

At first I was going to remain silent upon this thread because the initial post outlined the subject pretty well.

However, after a little thought, I feel I must include my two cents into the topic as well.

There are some aspects of humor or attempts at humor that have no business being advocated on a fine site like this. I care less if it is posted in the back alley or wherever, some offensive or potentially offensive humor is just plain wrong.

IMO of course.

dd80 has never personally attacked anyone? Are you serious? Saying I'm being defensive when I'm trying to keep a thread on topic, saying I'm a coward, calling me other names as well is not personally attacking in nature?


Does dd80 get it more than others, yes, obviously because he's in the minority on his views. YET, he continues to PUSH them views and that is what is great about his posting. The bad part is how he comes across IN his posts. It's not his message, its not his opinion, its not his theory, its his delivery of them that rubs people wrong.

Even with all the disrespect he has flung me if he had EVER taken the time to talk to me privately and address this with me, it would have been focused on and handled in his favor. However, he refuses to do anything of that nature. He gets a piece of shit flung at him, he grabs one ten times bigger and flings it back and then cries about it when it gets throw back at him yet again.

So this poor dd80 is getting the raw deal is garbage. No one is forcing him to be here, no one. If the things being said to him bother him or he wants the changed, he needs to contact me and I assure you, I will listen to him open mindedly and do what i can to make his experience here better.




As for the sniveling bitch topic title, I have changed that and have addressed that already. As well as admitted it was wrong.






Now what happened here I do not know and I hope someone can fill me in with detail.

I'll tell you my feelings.

If I owned a site, and a member called ME the names DD80 has called Zero, he would have been gone a long time ago.

I feel Zero has been MORE then gracious when allowing differing opinions, or out right attacks on him.

He gave it back, and i can understand it completely. Like i said, if i was the one paying for this place and someone treated me that way, they would be gone permanently. Thats just my opinion of course.

Zero has allowed me to post my feelings on politics, religious beliefs, and so on. And even if he disagreed with me, he allowed me to speak my piece. This place is NOT "free". It is to US, but NOT to him. He does not HAVE to allow "free speach", thats up to him. And yet he DOES allow it. My hat is off to him. And if DD80 had any respect, he would realize he is in someone else's house, and should show appreciation with it, even if he doesn't AGREE with the owner.

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.

He ONLY called you a coward after you started a thread for no reason to call him a "sniveling bitch"

What did he do to deserve that? As far as the "other names" he has called you, show me. I think you are exaggerating, but perhaps you can prove me wrong. I don't remember any name calling from dd80 prior to your sniveling bitch thread.

This is Zero's site.
He can play it any way he wants. Whether he is right or wrong, he OWNS the place.
Heck, i was abused by Brett's pilot on the BF site. What he did to me was 1000 times worse then anything i have seen Zero do to anyone here. I never even got a CHANCE to say how i felt, or insult Favre's pilot and i was axed.
Heck, fact is, Zero could axe someone for no reason at all if he wanted to.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying name calling is ok. But the guy who makes the rules and pays the bills has final say. And if i, or anyone doesn't like it, they have a free will and can leave.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Merry Christmas!
beast (11h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (19h) : 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
beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
