And it is level-headed and respectful for you to insult them personally because they have the audacity to run their board by their rules, not the way you run ours?
What a load of the stuff that makes grass grow very green.
They have defined the board they want, and have taken steps to make sure that they have that board. They are in complete control.
Mods who let other fans dictate the course of discussions have lost some control of the board.
The Charger mods have full control of their board. That is what they want.
You do not have full control of this board. But that is what you want. So you should be happy. If you are not, take action, but stop complaining that mods on other boards are effectively managing their board to align with what they want.
It isn't what you want, no. But it is what they want. Try to understand the difference, and you won't be so upset with them and feel the need to insult them for knowing what they want, and taking the steps to get it.
My friend, you really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Of course any board should run it the way they want to, but Chargers.com is not like any other NFL fan site in the way in which they run theirs.
Every site has visitors from other sites and pretty much all of them have the same rules that guide their boards...except the Chargers.com site. I do not know why you're defending them when the reason I was banned was for "Defending a Cheater..." Did you even see that memo I received. And you think that is acceptable and mature? Shmessy was RIGHT ON THE MONEY with his assessment!
So let me break this down for you. If know one is allowed to post a different view and defend accusations & spite inspired commentary, what is there for them to discuss? If a board is going to allow anything to be said about another team, their fans & their coach, shouldn't some representatives from that teams site be allowed to respectfully post opposing viewpoints?
There sites are similar to golf country clubs where we can all visit one another for some smack and some lively debate. I've visited 6 or 7 other fan sites over the past 18 months and the Chargers site is the least consistent with their application of their rules...and their rules are so general, one can't really know when they are being out of line.
Wake up my man!! And stop defending a site that allows their fans to speculate, accuse and ridicule our team but won't allow it to be defened. If you can't see the wrong in that, I don't know what is wrong with you.
Can you tell us?
BTW...it's ok to insult other boards as long as we allow them to defend themselves! After all, this is football talk, not "Lively banter amongst gentleman over tea & crumpets"!! What a bunch of phonies we'd all be if that was our model.
