The bottom line is anyone who professes to want the wars to end shouldn't be tossing out comments like that.
All his comments accomplished is that if/when Q fails the intensity of this crap is going to go up. Good strategy. I would think that the more reasonable of Carter's supporters would want to separate themselves from that rather than sanction it.
That's what I do when the extreme ABC crap comes out. You've never once seen me defend anythign but people's opinions and right to express them. I certainly have not posted a sanction of anything questioning Q's intelligance, tongue, or the ever popular "Q sux" posts. Not once, not ever.
No, but it's not enough not to scanction it, imo, it should be called out. Immediately.
As a board user here, I would like to see a more equitable demonstration of non-sanctioning by both you and Jterrel. You two are the sole partisan mods. BrainPaint, Dale and Duane may have a "dog in the race", but they don't express it if they do. From five years of sports board use, I came to believe the best moderation is that which holds itself above the fray, but you two have great takes, if sometimes partisan, and I think everyone enjoys your views enormously, as I do. It would be a loss if you two put a lid on it.
However, you both have the tendency to let go uncalled for remarks by the "opposing" camp, and I strongly feel you allow posters to get away with remarks from "your" side that you have much less patience from "the other side." Inane flame threads started by either side need to be sent to smack room asap. It isn't enough to refrain from sanctioning the remarks which seem generated from pure hate and ignorance - what is needed is to call that poster on it immediately. It shouldn't have to come from "the other side", it should come down to what it appropriate for a forum that refuses to champion trash.
I use this board because it is moderated and
tasteful. I am just another poster, with no special privs, and obviously from my post count, I love the place. But there have been a few times recently I have told myself it is time to move to another board, because the level of discourse had begun to sink. I'm not a priss, or prude, and I think I have a sense of humour, but there is a bottom line that as a poster I won't cross, and that is wallowing in the kind of net environment I'd never enter in the real world. There are other places to go.
I realize this is what the divisions were about on the old board. But some of us came here just because mean-spirited garbage was not our cup of tea. If this sounds "superior", so be it. I do feel superior to that trash, and I am asking before the preseason starts that both you and Jterrel do a more consistent job of policing it when it comes from your "own side".
Thanks.
