I'm a Cowboys fan too, but I've never really had any problems with any team's fans, other than a few Cowboys trolls. I'm not going to accuse anyone of being a report abuser, or report abuse, but being here as long as I have, sometimes people bring it upon themselves, be it being off subject, profanity,trolling, whatever. When someone has their comments deleted, and are banned continuously, then you make a name for yourself and are likely being watched by someone who can control your actions.

I haven't ever said anything about all of this in any board, or to anybody, because it makes no difference to me and I cannot control it anyway. However, I can control myself and act accordingly, and I do. I can get my points across on any given subject without having to resort to behavior that really isn't necessary, and would likely get me banned anyway, so why even bother doing it?

That's just my opinion, and likely will PO someone. Those of you who want to know why on this or that......try looking at yourself instead of blaming others for something they may not have done in the first place.

Thanks Bull_Shirt, you have class and the respect of most people here. I wish more people would follow your lead.

The way I see FN is, it's similar to being in the real world. One has rules and regulations to abide by, or we'd be living in a world more chaotic than it already is. The real world has its characters.......nonconformists if you will......who like living on the edge, and seeing just how far they can push buttons, or just doing anything they want regardless of consequences. So does anything virtual such as FN. Prisons are full of these kinds of people. I used to work at one for 5 years.
If I don't like someone's actions or speech in the real world, I just go on and let them do as they wish, (within reason of course) and eventually it will catch up to them. Same thing here.

Very true Bull. Cussing will get you reported, and I don't agree with cussing people on the boards, but some of the stuff that gets reported is ridiculous. But like you said, some of us have made a name for ourselves and for the most part, we do control it. But I would rather have a name for myself by using PG 13 language maybe R, and having a good time than I would having a name for myself by stirring the pot and snitching the reponses.Everyone here knows who is who and you can control who you engage in, but you cant control the snitches that get there rocks off on hitting the abuse button though they were never engaged. Its no sweat off of my back either way, deleted comments don't upset me, I am just sharring my opinion.Howdy do by the way. Good seeing you around.

Oh I know. FN isn't blameless. I've had comments removed from those spammers boards, and I didn't say nary a cuss word or anything. Just spoofed what the spammer said. I hurt their widdle feelings I guess.........lol.......So, I went and found the notification in my e mail, copied what I had said, and pasted back on the board it was removed from. I had several like that removed. No big deal..
I have an idea of who you might be, but not altogether positive about it, so I'm assuming that you and I have chatted before........lol

I have said some "minor" cuss words, like a/s/s, and hell fire.....but it wasn't directed at any person, but used for emphasis on something I was commenting on. I don't know if anyone can ever find out just who is a snitch and who is not, but it could be someone that no one even knows.

I made this comment awhile back about Carrie Nation, a woman who went from town to town back in the pre prohibition days, vandalizing and trashing saloons and such, using hatchets. I compared this reporter of abuse, whoever they may be, to Carrie Nation, only it could be this person remains anonymous, and having any comments and boards removed simply because he/she does not like them. Now, I don't know if this is true, but it's a possibility. No one knows, nor will they ever know, and all these accusations and such only fuel hatred and disrespect from one to another. I don't always agree on some things being said and done, but to each his own.

Yes, there are some here who derive their jollies from instigating, but if you (or whoever) allows them to get under your skin, then they won. If they're ignored, then they will go away, to find someone else to annoy. Max tried the other day to see if he could rile me by making a 'cute' comment on one of my comments. I explained to him what I thought, that he and I could get along or not....his choice, but he wasn't going to get under my skin.......I haven't heard a peep from him since. I think it was on the Tim Lumber post that came back up.

Anyway, that's the way I look at things. It may not be the way others do, but it works for me.......:-)

Hmm.. I wonder if my old posts about Powerade and the Chris Johnson Complete Player Challenge. It ends tomorrow so I'm gonna see if I can find it and bump it then..
