I believe Reality softened the approval time for our refugees, and I see no reason why osf would be rejected.

As for your last sentence, I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to communicate.
I wasn’t suggesting osf or any specific member would be rejected . Just saying...

and I’m not sure how Reality would know who our members are until they posted as such?

He wouldn't know who they are, but I've never seen anything about osf that would cause his membership to be delayed longer than anyone else's.
I think he just hasn't gotten around to signing up yet. There were times when we wouldn't hear from him for a week or two.

We still have forum family MIA but I feel most, if not all, will find their way over here because they have to know many migrated here. Since it is the off season, many alter their involvement and back off until FA kicks in.

However, all they had to to do was give us the drop dead date so we could rally the troops with a reuniting plan and make sure everyone knew. They had nothing to lose and got a hell of a lot of clicks from many of us and the taste in my mouth is all bitter about that site and I will never visit it again and am really pleased about my decision never to put a dime in that awesome person's pocket. Nary a shilling since he bought the team.

I hope you're not referring to 43Harris43.

Nah, don't think his schtick would fly over here. He was Whack a Mole to you guys on the old site and they'd get tired of dealing with him. Hell, he may already be here and biding his time.

A few I’m surprised no sign of without mentioning names.

Remember though as Reality stated not everyone is approved and some are discouraged with the limits initially.

But these modifications over time limit trolls we often saw over there with their quick drive by attacks especially on game days and after losses .
I hope they can limit fans who get banned and create new accounts.

If I didn't know better, I would think you didn't like it over there.

I didn’t like what it turned into. I thought the ending was fitting. Plus this is a better place.
I will agree to the ending but not the way that was done.

Greg, that "turned into" was invited by your posting and you can't tell me you were not getting off on the "Cornered Rabbit Syndrome". Fending off the wolves gave you a woody a cat couldn't scratch.

No, Coach . You misread that . I did the best I could in that unfamiliar role. I’m used to my opinions towards the Cowboys being respected and my fandom not only unquestioned but admired. It sparked thoughts and emotions from me I never intended nor imagined to inflict on others.

The character you’re describing became a byproduct of the forum. Not who I really am.

It's comments like this that CC is talking about.

The level of pompous is astounding.
The arrogance and confidence I have comes from the Cowboy life I’ve lived . That doesn’t mean you have to agree with my opinions and beliefs . I often differ from those closed to me.

I bring experiences with players and the team most can only imagine that I’m very proud I’ve been privileged and afforded . I thought they’d be more appreciated much like the celebrity status with friends and family I enjoy. But I suppose with an anonymous identity it doesn’t carry the same significance.

I almost divulged it a few years ago with plans in meeting a fellow member at a Cowboys playoff game but my wife after reading thru my stuff online looking for a culprit after someone had hacked my email strongly discouraged against it at the last minute. Its why I changed my screen name a few years ago because I had to change my email.

My uncle and sports idol passed away last year. I lost my most prized confidant to colon cancer. He was like a big brother to me..my fathers baby brother. I used his football pic in memory here for about a year . This avatar is from my fathers playing days in the 40’s. Godspeed everyone!!

Sorry about losing your uncle, someone so close to you.

It sounds like we have a textbook case for inferred and implied and your posts sometimes come off as elitist and I do not think that is your intention. You must know that you upset some posters about the distance from Dallas mattering to the level of fanhood or comments like you made to me that how could I be a fan and not watch the SB. You are defining fanhood through your own filter. We all use filters but when you make comments about the proximity to Dallas mattering to posters in enemy country, you have to expect some hot backlash.

Living in PA for 3 years gave me some newfound respect for fans in enemy territory and what they have to contend with just to be a fan of their team. I can understand the backlash from them when their fanhood is ranked.

There was a group of homers who aligned with the Emperor who saw themselves as troll hunters but they trolled themself for any criticism or attacks on the Cowboys especially Romo. I took them on and the Emperor himself. Once he was corralled he left. A great fan but couldn’t handle any attacks on the Cowboys. They tried to discredit my fandom to defuse my argument and I stood my ground and lashed back which came off as elitist.

There was a group of Romo homers there that were allowed to run the roost in their clique protected by one of the Mods which ran off many members over the years , had it in for me aligning himself with them ultimately responsible for harboring some of the rhetoric on that site. If I hadn’t had a couple of Mods who supported me I would have left years ago.

That site fizzled out once Romo left. And I’m tired of talking about it. That site is over..and I’m glad it is. And glad some of them haven’t come over. I hope you guys find this place as welcoming and interesting with much more civility ,discipline and less cliques.

Coach, you were one of the good guys and made the site a better place.

I did for a long time but it became more about keeping my voice alive the last couple years determined not to be shut out. I’m truly glad it is over. It wasn’t much fun anymore.

If you noticed I’ve posted more here the last couple years.
