OT Either stop locking threads or close the OT forum down

Gotta agree 100% with this. I’ve been to several M&G’s, preseason and suite games and have had a great time each and every event. It’s allowed me to meet more than a few members and, without exception everyone was great to hang out with. I’d love to do it more often. @dviss1 can be a lightening rod, but he’s one of the funniest and most animated guys going (and one of the biggest and best shit flippers and shit takers present). And I’d have a beer and a smoke with @MARIS61 any day of the week because for all his different takes, he doesn’t take it too seriously and he’s a fun guy to hang with. And I’d say the same about @MarAzul (even though I havent hung out with him yet....and I doubt that smoke thing would fly with him). And criminy, it blows me away how many short jokes @Chris Craig endures but he always comes back with ones that are even funnier. And @theprunetang might be the only guy I know who can belly up to the bar with @BLAZINGGIANTS. We’re all different but we’re all the same. And we’re ALL taking some of this shit WAY too seriously. I mean, someone already got to @JFizzleRaider and that’s been a serious loss to this board. How many more quality members do we have to lose before everyone has moved on. I love spirited discourse spiced with a little snark, but we ALL (this poster included) need to work on being more respectful of each other’s views. At the end of the day, they are only opinions. And we all know how much those are worth at the end of that day. And for those whose sole purpose here might be to troll and bait others, it’s time to move elsewhere. We have a plethora of new members aboard all of a sudden. Let’s don’t scare them all off at once.......

 

@SlyPokerDog doing a fantastic job as usual. It's getting increasingly difficult to find a thread where people are being respectful to each other and I know I'm not the only one coming here less and less.

 

Right and the crandC person is a woman! #MindBlown

 

As far as the term “edumacate” I take it as somebody trying to crack on how a “black person would talk” . I’ve heard people use it that way and not making fun of a hillbilly.

 

this....we've already lost so many funny and entertaining posters in the name of insult tolerance....

 

Never heard it used in any other way than with a hillbilly accent.

 

I use pictures to make fun of hillbillies

 

Once again, like I asked that Sippy kid, where he was raised and who around. If you grew up in the country or suburbs, you might have only heard it that way. I grew up with half white, half black kids and neighborhood, so that’s how I used to hear it.

 

Thinking something isn't knowing it and the reason he said it is because I'm black. Point blank.

Those people are rarer than white racists. How the FUCK is 13% of the country gonna make you bow down...?

Really?

Is this a problem for you everyday or is that just another reason to live in fear of becoming the minority?

Stop being afraid... White folks literally have no reason to fear us.

 

I got to use a wood fired hot tub a ways back. It was a 3.5 mile walk from the nearest road outside a cabin in the woods. A creek ran 40 feet away and I could hear owls and other critters nonstop. It was a wonderful experience although for the first time ever the water would get too hot. Had to be careful.

 

So why can’t it be someone cracking on someone’s bad grammar and poor education? It doesn’t have to be racial. It could be an insult towards low income/low class, which is black, white, whatever.

 

how do you fit CC, BG and PT on the same bar stool? Turn it upside down!

 

That is what MarAzul was getting at. He doesn't seem to know a lot of the things he's supposed to.

 

Regardless of any of that, context matters.

Why is this even a debate?

 

Curious where the 3 people who LIKED your post grew up and who around? Honest question.

 

Because of WHO typed it. I don’t come to OT very often, but I’ve very respectfully asked this kid where is from a couple times because of the shit he has posted. He knew his intent.

 

You know what man... you tell me I’m part of the problem, which is demeaning and insulting, because I asked an honest question, so I go out and do research and try to have a civil discussion about it. That’s the whole point of a forum. Discussion.

I’m sorry but you simply saying that something is racist is not good enough for me. Not when I have never heard anything to support that claim.

 

Maybe he meant it to be racially insensitive, but that doesnt mean that the term itself is aimed specifically at black people. Maybe he thinks dviss is dumb. I have no idea. I don’t know the guy.

 

That was so funny I fell off my dinosaur.
