Wow... one loss and people are going nuts

[Maikeru-sama]

Unreal that I don't care? Yeah, it's true, I don't care what post you think it was about. I don't care what post I think it was about.

I wanted to talk football. Nothing more. You couldn't. I wish you would. I will say it one more time, one of the best on the old site when you wanted to.

I miss that.

This thread was talking about football and the Cowboys. For some reason you just wanted to change the subject and then claim you wanted to generically talk "football".

As for the old site, you used to be a good poster to. Too bad something happened once you became a mod here.

I think that I can tell you why....one of my biggest pet peeves is that alot of people think "Hey, it's just ONE game...".

Well, what if that ONE GAME kept you out of the playoffs? A game that you could have and should have won? We gave them like 24 points off of turnovers....they were 0-5 I believe in the re-zone while we were 4-4 if I remember correctly.

Yep, every year some team is missing the playoffs by ONE game.....I think we were one of those teams last year were'nt we?

In my mind, EVERY game counts.

Nothing has changed except you bought someone else's bill of goods about me. When I arrived at the other site I got into arguments with everyone. I argued with so many people they played a joke on me and got me to create an account at ES to argue with Art. I still respect every one of those guys who could bring good stuff to a football discussion and still disagree with me. Evidenced by the fact I actually remember you once could.

There is one difference, I just stopped posting novels every time I posted, and began posting more one line comments because people complained. I am still the same guy I have always been. Long winded and opinionated. Nothing has changed. Some people can accept me disagreeing with them as part of being on a forum. Some can't.

Oh well.

I don't care about the job here. I wish others didn't care that I have one here. On the forum I am not a Mod. Never have been. I am a poster just like you who shares his opinions. I don't like being a Mod. Never have. I have offered to quit so many times I have lost count. One time I really did quit. They talked me out of it. Sometimes I question my own sanity at that decision. I'd give anything to put posters on Ignore and just be considered a regular guy here. I really would.

The only things I do like about my job here are trying to serve the members, and my friendship with the staff. That I do like. I like approving the new accounts and helping people with custom user titles and changing their usernames. I like trying to figure out why their account is having issues, or trying to help them when they come ask. I like doing stuff like the pavers for Cbz40 and Major Hagerty. I like sending under privileged kids to football camps. I like that people trust me with their donations and I like that I can look you in the eye and say I treat their donations with respect. Every penny.

I keep doing this job because I respect and love the staff here more than they can ever know. I'd do anything to help them out. Their jobs are thankless and they take crap every day from someone and shrug it off. I like being associated with them. I consider that an honor. We don't always agree. But unlike some of the regular Joe posters they can accept me for my faults.

I even like going to bat for posters who have been banned and ask for another chance. There's a poster on this forum right now who insulted my wife one time. He insulted her really bad. I won't share what he said in this post but if you (and only you) want to know, PM me. Yet he's still here. One poster insults my age regularly. He's still here.

The power hungry Mod thing is a myth. It always has been. The DCC guys who needed to PM Reality, Dale, and boozeman to ask why they couldn't be Mods when they had more posts than me are the power hungry guys. The ones who ban people for not liking the music they do. I turned this job down twice before I got talked into it by Dale and boozeman. I offered to step down as soon as the DCC guys voiced their displeasure publicly about my acceptance. I've offered to every time I have made a mistake and stepped over the line.

You want the Mod job, by all means come take it. I would gladly step aside and be in your shoes where all I had to do was worry about who to read and who not to read. I want that so bad I can taste it sometimes. I think anyone who wants to be a Mod here is out of their freaking mind. I am so thankful for the staff we have that are out of their minds to do this.

Yesterday I got 2 very stark contrasted PMs. One from a poster who wants to be able to put me and other staff members on Ignore because he can't stomach reading us any more. You see, I have dared to disagree with him now and then and he can't stand it.

The other was from a long time member who rarely posts, but told me he appreciates that I try to be level headed whenever I can.

One guy can't look past a fictional hat. The other can. We're all different. I can live with that. The question is, can you?

 

[Hostile]

Hopefully my response was worth the popcorn.

 

[jobberone]

I'm almost done with this forum. The reaction to the latest game has been wildly disproportionate.

Don't go away. We need the stability of some to keep all the flotsam afloat.

Definately worth it.

Good post. Hos is one of the coolest guys on this site. I have spoken with him several times over the phone and the guy has helped me solve problems. The guy may be opinionated but he is a genuinley good person.

I don't know why people get so worked up to the point they start hating people.

Aight...going back to watch Dexter..carry on.

I didn't mention the mod thing because of any perceived "power" issue but more of a "company line" thing. I could be off base but it seems to me that some who are in certain positions here representing the site tend to take on the "defend all things Jerry and Cowboys" even to the point of being irrational. Just my take. Other than that, I don't care about the mod deal. I was asked to be one at a different site a while back and declined. Not something I pursue but don't have issues with those who do.

I don't defend Jerry at all costs, but I do dare to defend him when I feel someone is off base.

I can point you to dozens of posts that would be considered anti-Jerry.

This is our 50th season and we're not celebrating it. The Stadium is being celebrated over that and even the Ring of Honor. I hate things like that. My respect for the History of this team is deep and I think he doesn't get it.

Did you read the Dennis Thurman thread? How was me being pissed at Jerry defending him?

I wanted Dan Reeves. Remember?

I don't support Wade. I'm squarely a Garrett guy and have been from the word go.

Just because I dare to disagree with some of your stances on Jerry doesn't mean you need to paint me into some corner and chant "yay homerism" and think it is going to stick.

I have no idea what company line is supposed to mean. My apologies if I am being dense. The only company line about me being a Mod that I know of are the DCC lies about me. I still respect 3 or 4 posters there, but it isn't mutual. They all post here and have never once been hassled by me for what they say there.

I dare you to really trash one of the big 3 over there on this forum. You and I both know you will be banned for it. The only guy over there in power who has ever rolled with the punches is booze.

I've known you for a long time. On the even older sight, you were always a whiner.

One other comment.

Who cares if someone defends Jerry? Is that not the purpose of a forum? That we all have differing ideas?

It boggles my mind that someone can have a pet topic so bad that other people are labeled by how they view that topic.

 

[jobberone]

There are trends.

Tony Romo must learn to protect the ball better. This is my third year of saying this. That last pass was one even I wouldn't make (if I could throw the ball that far).

We learn from the past. Well, we should learn. Flozell can't seem to learn not to do false starts and apparently tripping (which is news to me). This team seems to self destruct with too many penalties which is under Parcells and Wade. This team doesn't play well in the secondary. This team doesn't come up with nearly enough big stops. This team=last few seasons of the Dallas Cowboys.

Should I go on?

One, I'm sure you know what holding to the "company line" means.
Two, what's your obsession with people on another site? You keep bringing it up over and over when no one else has mentioned anything about other boards or sites.

I agree. There are trends and that's what most people are seeing. Some even call it a "broader perspective".

oh snap

 

[DallasEast]

one lost and people are going nuts, I thought it was a good football game some bad bounces here and there but over all a good game. I am a Boys fan through and through 31 years now (since I was 4) but I guess I practice what I preach, I tell my kids a loss just shows them where they need to improve and to leave it on the field.

Anyways I just thought I would type all of thei because I think it is funny how mad people get after a loss.

Have a nice day :starspin

To place more emphasis on my reply, I had decided to first allow several days to pass before posting in this thread. Two things...

1. Review the forum. Completely ignore posts created within the first 24 hours after the opening snap of the game (after all, everyone gets flustered from time to time : ). Take time to read a sampling of what was posted the following 24 hours.

2. Now, take another sampling of what has been posted the past 24 hours.



Please do me a favor and do not insult the word "nuts" ever again.

I hate BSPN but they just had an interesting and depressing stat: last 6 games Turnover Tony's completion percentage is 55%. BRUTAL.

It would be great if the poeple here could just voice their respective opinions about the team we all love without getting personal. I know everyone gets emotional about certain things but betting personal on this site takes away from what it serves, and that is, in my opinion, a place where serious fans can share stories, voice displeasure or happiness over players or the team itself, talk strategy, player match-ups, organizational decisions, etc....without being ripped for it. No one is happy about how the game turned out Sunday night. If anyone here could change that they would. Let's move on and take it for what it was - ONE GAME IN A LONG SEASON.
