    I certainly didn't have Mixum banned. I thought banning him was bulshit.

    Yeah, I knew there was a reason we got along sometimes. I just don't like you posting that you lost your passion. Seems odd to me.

    People are different. I didn't think this team had the horses to compete for a title at the beginning of the season, so once the deadline passed without retooling, which I thought the team needed to do, I lost some interest. Then when a coach that I don't think is the guy to lead this team to the next level was extended, I lost more interest. I still watch every game on league pass though.

    Are you the board policeman? After you get him banned, who's next? Me? I'm critical 60% of the time and I'd like to replace Nate.

    I'm not the one whining to the mods in that exchange. Read for content, poet!

    I'm surprised you're saying that Mediocre is too negative, when you (and I) defended Mixum against being banned for being too negative. If negative people bother you so much, why did you oppose banning Mixum?

    Wanting others to have liberty and freedom to make their own choices is empathy. I resent the implication that I lack it.

    It takes all the empathy I have to keep looking at that picture of you as a baby.

    Seriously speaking....what was the straw that Mixum broke to get banned? I've been traveling of late and trying to keep up, but totally missed the specifics. All I was able to see (in one thread) was something about Mixum "not paying taxes," as the reason?

    So I obviously missed what/how Mixum's banning went down. Anyone care to give me the "two sentence overview?"

    Thanks

    Nate stepped down as moderator, there was a big thread, many talked of banning mixum and mods being weak/not enforcing rules. Nate and Mixum got into it, mixum compared himself to the bandit who causes trouble; Denny took this as a subtle admittance that he was only here to cause problems/troll, and they bampersanded him.

    I went out to dinner and then to Spirit Mountain Casino with the girlfriend. I am very sorry that I was not here during the time that you needed me. It is never okay to attack anyone except me.

    Thank you SebEx! I always thought that Mixum enjoyed being a bit of an ass. On the other hand, he did post some interesting thoughts. I never let his antics bother me. In fact, I thought his presence made for a more lively forum than in his absence.

    There was a larger context. For a week or two before that, attacks accumulated from a few posters. A campaign was going on, making him more defensive about his existence on the board. He started making fun of himself, such as the bandit stuff. Then they used those words against him.

    So now there's no one to start threads, unless KingSpeed does it again. Denny needs to assign one moderator per night to replace Mixum as spark plug.

    When I've had time I have been trying to post more links to articles. Other people are also doing more. Darkwebs has been killing it with the game threads. Really really nice job.
