Exclamation All Posters - Must read!

OK, enough is enough.

We need to debate these players civily. We have 16 more days until the draft and quite frankly these pissing contests are starting to get old, boring, and ruining this forum.

Infractions will be given out to those who call others stupid, retarded, morons, ect., or tell others to (Please be quiet - edited) or GFY or other such name calling. Also infractions will be given to those who start stirring the pot just to get a pissing contest going.

Patchick and I don't want to be put into the position of giving out infractions. But we have conferred on this and we are determined to restore the forum to a place where draft information can be exchanged in a civil and respectful manner.

Now good natured exchanges and post for humor are always welcome and this is not what we are talking about.

Please act accordingly.

Thanks

I don't even read any thread with "Barwin" in the title, for what it's worth. I'm pretty sure I know how it's going to go.

Just temp-ban people already. It's easier on the readers, and it makes the point to the offending posters: they'll learn soon enough. I also support the comedy ban option, to keep things lively.

Then I should stop making up quotes for you since they won't get your goat?

I was going to post one of my Bombay Express draft videos, but then I'll have to give myself an infraction before patchick bans me.

Thanks, Nut. And everybody, please note that this is a common-sense standard of civility. IOW, no more of the "I didn't call him an in-bred imbecile, I just said his opinions resembled those of an in-bred imbecile" excuses.

There is no such thing as common sense. If there was, then this country wouldn't be in the shape its in right now.

That being said, I hope the Mods don't over-react when people use negative adjectives to describe ill-thought ideas. Some people don't seem to realize that you can have a asinine idea and not be asinine yourself.

If this is going to be PC, then Ian might as well shut the whole message board down because its not PC to be PC.

This is certainly true. I myself harbor several asinine ideas, while my essential character is more feline, or perhaps ursine.

Nonetheless, it will be a fine exercise in vocabulary building to show me the error of my asinine ways without using the word asinine, which is strangely ineffective in changing opinions.
