    This thread helps me appreciate how the locker room likely was during the Jail Blazers era.

    Irrelevant, except to the official rules (#1 honorable intent). As I posted, the deciding, unofficial reasons are unwritten.

    The real reason he's gone is unpopularity, which was only with at most half the posters. The reasons they disliked him was that they come here to enjoy feeling a quasi-religious reverant unity for the team (my illustration was of throwing someone out of church for jabbering that there is no God) and secondly, because Mixum would twist apparently positive news into negative (my illustration was yesterday's thread title, We are really terrible because we just signed Chris Johnson).

    Intention is just one of the formal official rules. If they were enforced consistently, the board would die immediately. They are there to justify a ban after the decision, not to steer the actual decision process. What steers actual decisions is a political lobbying process. The loudest birdbrains get the worm. (I just made that up. Instant classic.)

    I hijacked the thread. It's mine now. Did you pay for your ticket? Then beat it.

    You're more Abdul Mudallad than D.B. Cooper.

    So, getting back on track, NB3, thanks for your service. I hope you're happier here as one of we mere posters.

    This whole thread is funny! Over-dramatic. Mixum wished for this. He attempted each and every day.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm just kinda amused that they quickly pushed this through committee while the one admin they know is strongly opposed was on vacation.

    Well, Denny IS originally from Chicago... :)

    This is more Wisconsin than Illinois. :D

    This whole thread is more like 9th grade than anything else. Meadow Park represent FAMS! :ghoti:

    No, they probably aren't. I have no problem with Mixum being suspended. My problem is that most everyone else breaks the rules of the forum as well and aren't suspended.

    Yes, that will be fantastic once DJ MixedUp's buddy returns and does his thing. Poor, innocent and defenseless Mixie never did a thing to deserve any of this - but thank goodness his Mod In Shining Armor will return shortly to save the day. Order will be restored to S2!!!

    Oh what would we do without such a hero to protect the posting rights of well intentioned, altruistic and non-attention-whoring fans everywhere!

    Hip.

    Hip.

    Hooray.

    Compare the handwringing the mods here went through compared to the rash decisions by pricks like Basel on BBF. One more reason to like this place. No one can say that the poster in question wasn't given fair warning.

    I will second this. It may lead to some heated debates with other staff at times :lol: . But people do definitely get their chances and 2nd chances and so on here.
