What happened?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ahh let me add to the problems with this board now. One of the mods didn't like a post I made toward the original poster in the latest Sammy thread and deleted it. I can't take one swipe at someone asking for it in that thread, yet other posters can rack up thousands of posts that are nothing more than insults and not get edited? The mods on this board need to be pared down a bit if that's the case.

 

Hopefully, the last few days have been the beginning of a long-term commitment to deleting such posts. It's been lax in the past, but I hope it's applied universally and fairly in the future.

Completely unprovoked flames are OK apparently.

Says the guy who can't seem to ignore other posters who get on his nerves.

they may annoy me, but i'm a big enough boy to deal with it myself.

you seem to be missing the point of the thread

[abuck1220]

nah, i'm good. thanks though.

[Derwood]

no, you did, but that's cool.

[Tracer Bullet]

just b/c someone doesn't agree with the main point of the OP of a thread, doesn't mean they missed the point

the OP of the thread was "I've noticed everyone is being a dick right now." I don't think abuck is disagreeing with that.

Actually, the OP seemed to suggest that nsbb isn't as great as it once was and it's because of the attitude of a select few. I'm not sure whether abuck agrees with that or not, but again, I have no idea why you think he missed the point of the thread.

see...if i ignored people who drove me nuts with inane, worthless posts, i'd be missing out on this fascinating debate.

I just think the spirit of the thread was "this place used to be cooler, but now it's turning into cubs.com with the level of snarkiness, etc.", and abuck's response was "sack up, you sniveling tattletales." Making a post that is EXACTLY what the OP was complaining about comes across to me as missing the point.

 

But whatever, NSBB is what it is and anyone who doesn't like it is free to leave. It's not for me to say how Tim and the mods want the place to be. I'm also guilty of some of the snarkiness, so I'm not going to start throwing stones

You don't go out of your way to be a tool though. Your snarks, as with most posters on NSBB, are usually provoked.

I think you actually missed the point of abuck's post, but whatever. It's not worth continuing the discussion.

There's a double standard. Always has been always will. Get over it.
