    She sucked.

    But, this seems fishy. I've looked at her last few posts and it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. My guess is she agreed to quit the board and Sly is saying he banned her to try and make an "example"

    Why fix it? "Fixing" it only covers up the wrongdoing. If you call someone a bitch (or any other terrible derogatory term) it should stay up as a reminder not be hidden.

    You guys seem to be losing your grip on things. I got tired of this discussion in the roytoy thing but you went and did the wrong thing again. I didn't like her either but wow.

    What a lot of people are forgetting is we are not privy to the PM's. So, it could have been worse in there. All of this is conjecture except for the mods. So, something may have happened that was done above and beyond what was seen in the public realm.

    I think Denny's making more money on suspension/ban threads than he is on basketball ones...

    Sly's a trustworthy guy. What does he have to gain by lying? I don't agree that he's making an example because there are many in here who believe she shouldn't have been banned. If she decided to quit the board, how does it make him look better by saying he banned her?

    Are you also on the Mediocre Man Truther bandwagon with me?

    They (the mods) could let everybody do whatever they want and let it become like the O-Live forum.

    I say no thanks to that.

    In PM I don't care if she called them small dick Hitler wannabes. What she had done on the board isn't banworthy. You warn her and go from there. Quite simple.

    Lighten up Francis. Just a joke, and besides, she obviously has little concern about what other people think.

    You reap what you sew.

    And thanks for fixing that Sly. I often confuse 'bitch' with 'person'.

    Seems to me that the warnings were plentiful... again, "seems" because I don't know. Either do you. You're jumping to conclusions about what you think they didn't do, when they very well could have.

    Fishy, indeed. I think she was an experimental 'flame-bot' designed to drive site traffic. After making numerous tweaks over the past several weeks, sophisticated econometric algorithms determined that some posters were in fact posting less, fearing the wrath of B.F., while others felt so emasculated they returned to O-live. I expect they'll have B.F. v.2.0 on-line by draft time.

    They could have rules and follow them like we were taught in preschool. Or they could make arbitrary decisions based on people's feelings being hurt. What would your choice be?

    In preschool, if someones feelings are being hurt because someone made fun of them, they get punished... the severity of that punishment would in fact be arbitrary if no measures were put in place... so...

    What??? That is just wrong Hobbes. That forum was policed by the mods like gestapos. We'd come in and hundreds of posts would be erased. They would erase whole threads if they didn't like one word in them.

    Since this "Official Board of Blazers" change has happened, this place has felt a ton like when I left O-Live thats for sure.

    I feel like I cant even work during my actual work day without PM's of complaints stacking up in my inbox.

    So what you're saying is some MAN in this forum (actually MEN) got their feelings hurt SO BAD that they had to go tell the teacher they were being bullied by a girl?

    GTFO...
