Doesn’t seem like you agree with anyone. To each their own.

Just tell him Tony Romo is godlike during his reign and zeke was the best draft pick the boys ever made and you’ll get along fine

All kidding aside he has his moments but he’s really not a bad dude he’s just persistent in his beliefs

Even if he’s wrong :lmao:

And the deviseveness has got out of hand despite us all being cowboy fans

I think we are anyway. There are some that are here specifically to stir the pot. I quoted you but that doesn’t mean I’m referring to you

Never understood why some people find it so hard to follow the rules. Don't you know why some feel the need to call others out, are those who are called out can't ignore them. We're lucky to have a great group of mods, not an easy job to run the asylum.

Cheers to those that keep law and order in here :thumbup:

No Steve can be persistent but he is nowhere near the level mountaineer or Pappy or sone others even

Now since last years loss he’s closing the gap but there’s still a chasm of space

I read his posts a lot he and I disagree a lot but he is one I can disagree with and still be able to talk with

There are some here that just disgust me as supposed cowboy fans so I don’t interact or I’m likely to say something that gets myself benched

Come on man. He’s here for only one reason, to stir trouble. Just read his posts.

Humor: Rockport, :) , did you hear that Jerry Jones has his shoes polished.

OOOPs, I hope no one felt attacked by that statement.

Also, Dak Prescott has been successful throwing the ball when he hasn't been injured and forced out. His numbers have been posted with references.

I didn't call anyone a name.

I agree, personal insult isn't a discussion. Almost always an honest attempt and supported by referenced material on issue is offered first.

4th attempts by an opposed poster is then aimed at disrespect if subject matter is not even mentioned, but still accusing the poster of abuse and mental illness. C'mon!

That is fine but pretending there is not a con going on here is ludicrous in my mind. Rockport tries to fight fire with fire and I agree that is a problem but it's not like he is just behaving that way for no reason.

Calls outs of someone else is exactly what we don’t need around here. Let the mods handle the cop work. Calling someone out in a thread about everyone being cool to fellow fans isn’t cool. Tell someone why you disagree about something. But don’t throw their name out as someone you think is a problem around here. You can PM a mod or file a report. Let’s leave the call outs on the eagles forums.

I used to be one of those posters who would just argue relentlessly even if I knew I didn't have the stronger position.
It was just pride and not wanting to concede.
And all it does is make people hate you. And as a follower of Christ, my job is not to irritate people out of pride. I also need to act like the one who I say I follow.
So, I hope I've grown to a place where even though I debate with others, I can concede and not just go on and on and on because I MUST be right.
And I've found that I get much more respect that way and debates end gracefully and respectfully.
We're all Cowboys fans - at least I think we are. And I would hope we ultimately want to win no matter who is at quarterback or coach or owner.

It’s the off-season and the summer heat seems to make too many of our fellow Cowboy fans in this great forum post up here with a chip on the shoulder and in constant arguing and attack mode. A forum like this is built on everyone getting to post their opinions and views on all things Cowboys, but within the rules we ALL agreed to follow when we signed up here.

A few simple reminders to make this place more civil and inhabitable:
  • This Is an opinion FORUM which means a variety of opinions about the Cowboys are welcome and encouraged as long as they are within the rules we have here.
  • A difference of opinion is welcome and part of what makes this place great. A disagreement with your opinion doesn’t make someone a bad Cowboys fan. Or deserving of someone’s wrath or insults.
  • If after stating your position multiple times and someone still disagrees with you, let it go. Agree to disagree. Constantly arguing your point over and over will most likely not convince the other side.In fact it usually starts unnecessary fights. You’ve made your point. Let it go.
  • Mods are human. And they are volunteers doing the best they can to keep this place between the lines. There are thousands of posts made every day and we don’t always catch everything. Sometimes we miss things. Sometimes we have to take action because of rules violations. It’s not personal. Let’s work together.
  • If you are angry with someone here, take a break. Go to a different thread. If you feel angry enough to insult someone you need to either go to a different thread or log off for a while.
In my life experiences, I’ve never known anyone who insulted their way to either changing someone’s mind or earning themselves any more respect.
We are a week from TC and just 7 weeks from the start of the regular season. Here‘s to another exciting Cowboys season on the best fan sports forum out there. WHAT MAKES IT GREAT IS OUR RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AS COWBOYS FANS.

LETS GO COWBOYS!

Bullet as always you are spot-on and the voice of reason.

Wish I had your self-control.
But when anybody tries to demean Roger Staubach Emmitt Smith or any of our other Hall of Fame players

The strain becomes more than I can bear and I may occasionally be coerced into opening up a can of whoop ***.
I apologize never mean to make your job harder
