Oh brother. You can help the guy cross the street, make fun of him because he's blind, or ignore him. Which one are you?

Which one of those miraculously makes him not blind?

That also means you shouldn't do it yourself, either. I mean, you're getting in little jabs, implying people are childish, and pointing fingers right here. You got to walk the walk.

Didn't any of you guys ever have siblings?

I am fine for a free for all mentality. I can handle it and hope others can too.

But when someone has been doing this kind of instigating and flame throwing for at least 4 years (when I joined the site), and even after a mod making a thread about it, and this poster still doesn't get it and even defends the behavior on pages 1 and 2 of this thread, that is when there's a problem.

If the mods are seemingly okay with the kind of language I flagged above, then I'll use the same kind of language since it somehow doesn't apply to the rules about preventing instigation or keeping things civil.

Based on your own view towards "PC" mods, I think you'd agree.

Look, let's just use your post here for an example. You don't have the stones to name the guy you're trying to get in trouble, but everyone still knows that you're calling out DaBruinz in an effort to get him busted. By the same token, if you seriously made the claim that Wilfork was going to convert to quarterback and become the greatest QB in NFL history, everyone would think your post was completely idiotic. Whether they called it idiotic, "interesting" or "Billy Bordeaux", you'd know full well that they all thought your post was idiotic. Nothing changes except the heavy hand of the police. The history of mankind has shown us this time and again.

Sweet rhetorical question. People don't change so why are you beating your head against a wall? Pick your battles - move on and solve some NP complete problems or something.

Internet bully ITP. Just let it go, you're turning this forum to crap at the time of year when this is the most interesting forum on this board.

Given the number of posts you'd made on this thread before I'd made even one, perhaps you're the one who should "just let it go"?

Mav has been banned for 5 days. He had been warned about baiting and instigating.

I want everyone else to drop this now. We don't want to take further actions but it could happen if posters do not act accordingly.

For heaven's sake, can't we at least manage to keep the "no insults" thread free of insults?
