For the me the multiple threads aren't THAT much of an issue. Especially if they are spaced out enough. My whole thing was the attitude that we received if somebody did happen to complain about the threads. However I fully accept your apology and I hope you accept mine.

And going forward I'll do everything I can to be more even handed when moderating. So if people do start attacking you I'll be the firs to jump in and call foul.

I'm ready to let this whole thing die now and just move on.

Thanks, pal. And i'm sorry for anything mean that probably seemed meaner given the stress you're under. Shit spiraled, yada-yada.

Peace.

Here's probably the one thing we're missing/confusing here, and it was the main point of my thread the other day.

The Beverly Hills blonde offends NOBODY. I didn't think surfing on bare feet did either but Mz pointed out I was insulting California members so I guess I see that a little.

Here's the point. Those statements, in and of themselves, are completely harmless. Pretty obviously. When they BECOME offensive is when they are used to describe a member's FOOTBALL position.

Example: I'm not at all offended that you make fun of me for being a surfer, etc. I am offended if you think the only reason I like Jimmy Clausen is because he's a surfer. The former is making an innocent joke, the latter is questioning a guy's football accumen. The latter is WAY more offensive.


Do y'all see the difference.

Ok, I think we can let this thread die now. Everybody said their peace and I think we're in a good place. Let's turn our attention to the draft and then we can start discussing the players we will be adding in 2 days

Actually, mz, I'm not dead. Just without internet for the past 5 days and not really frequenting the board for about 5 days before that. National Tournament and what have you.

Also, WTF just happened.

At the same point in time MZ, when you make absolute statements that are a little overboard such as “McCoy has a shit arm”, you are insinuating that anybody who thinks he is their guy is a moron for thinking it. You see how that works?
