I understand that it doesn't bother you with that he said. It didn't bother me as well but it doesn't make it right. Someone said something about it and kudos to them.
MM, I has a proposal...
- Thread starter weevilcatch
- Start date
They didn't cry to 9.95 daddy as you put it because of the slur. They protested because MOD MM knew of the slur and was banning people for speaking up about it.
It happened pretty fast. I get why they piled on FB. But, MM deleted the thread and posted an alert that basically warned against trolling. It makes no sense why they piled on MM.
So the 9.95ers came down and FB said something inappropriate and got booted and then somehow MM got booted? MM doesn't normally lose his cool unless sooner or aggy trolls get out of hand. I mean, I've seen him get pissed before but there's usually a valid reason.
Yes he deleted the thread but was banning posters except for FB. This is what was pissing them off.
Oh really. Did you ask MM if that is why he was banning people? Or is that what you guys do? Go around to troll, get your feelings hurt, assume intent, throw a fit, tattle to your daddy and then gloat in your "success?"
Pay board sounds like an awesome place man!
PC stuff and a racial slur aren’t the same things. Old school or not, that can’t fly.
What makes matters worse is he said it to @solman1972 ; a contributor to this board that people respect. He deserves to be fried.

Yeah, I thought with their troll game they brought early on they'd have thicker skin. I found it funny. Guess even trolls have a limit.
This is what MM posted on a locked thread. (This is classic MM-and I mean that in a good way):
"You know who you are. Grow up. This isn't junior high. Not sure what prompted people to come over here this evening and start posting weird, off the wall BS. Then more start piling on and on. This isn't the place for this and it won't be tolerated. If you do it, I'll ban you and delete the thread and/or comments. Get a life.

My understanding is that MM was attending a function last night and was not in a position to be able to monitor for a short time, which sounds reasonable to me. IT is a free board and people do have lives. Just my .02
Ya I saw that post and then he locked the thread. I guess there's a thread that was completely deleted. I would think the hard core trolling would only exist inside the gated community. But it appears that's not the case.This is what MM posted on a locked thread. (This is classic MM-and I mean that in a good way):

Well, we can all carry on talking about football and longhorn sports and maybe this dust settles and all this blows over and things go back to normal. If someone said something inappropriate, then they should own it and apologize and let bygones be bygones.
Doesn't matter "who" he said it to, does it? That stuff can't fly which is why MM banned FB. Collateral damage was everybody exposing FB's real name and then getting together to go after his personal life like facebook. Those are all against board rules. Again, I don't defend FB for what he said. He has posted a long ass time on here and I have always liked the guy. He even brags affectionately about his granddaughter or daughter that is black. I don't get it or understand why he did it.
No, Orangebloods owner, Geoff Ketchum, permabanned FlourBluff for multiple, unapologetic racist comments about another poster, and he also removed MM's moderator privileges.
I’m sorry but what you call collateral damage is what I think he had coming to him. You can’t cross the line and expect people to not do the same under YOUR or HIS terms.
Nah. MM has his own issues.
If you don't agree with him, you get private messages and ban warnings.
A private message about disagreeing on a football or sports issue? You serious?
No way, Jose. Ketch (or someone up there) offered me a free subscription a couple years ago in a private message and I politely declined. I like it just fine right here.
You would think with tens of thousands of posts in an obvious cesspool it would thicken the skin a bit.
Well he ain't gone for banning someone for saying Herman is a fraud.
It's no secret this board is conservative. You get some pretty salty messages when you go against the grain.
And lawrd halp you if you fire back on them.
Our "cesspool" has very defined rules against racism, enforced by mods and posters alike. Apparently this one does not.
I was under the impression politics wasn't allowed on here. I mean, I posted that very thing to someone jus a few days back. Someone said something about politics and I flat out told them MM doesn't allow politics on here. I guess I've missed much of this that you speak. I know Bell and scholtz would go back and forth about things from time to time, but from what I recall, those threads got locked pretty quickly.
So a flash mob breaks out in somebody's house and you don't like his reaction? I don't know FB personally, but I certainly never thought him a "racist".
MM ran a tight ship and never allowed anything of the sort.
Although I never understood how using a term that is deemed unacceptable will get you banned, but being a total piece of crap in all other senses of the word is perfectly acceptable.
