That's what she said.That's not a d!ck in those pics ... it's an eggplant.
Still seems a bit weird. I could totally see that reaction if I wrote something like that and it was deleted on its own. But if I wrote something, even long and passionate, that was part of a controversial thread and the entire thread got nuked and I wasn't personally being targeted, I think quitting the board is an overreaction. But of course everyone has to decide their breaking point for themselves.
What thread was that, and what was the gist of PJ's post? For those of us who have been off the forums recently.
I’ll give you a synopsis from memory.
A Saints thread already existed on the first page with something like “Love you Pats, From Saints” or something, created by Pherein2. Then that day, the Saints scandal hit some mainstream national sites like PFT.
Roboturner (horrible Saints fan) posted in the thread something like this: The Saints are going to get screwed by the NFL again. Poor us, being persecuted by Roger Goodell. I guarantee this is Bountygate 2.0. By the way, here is the story: the Saints have done nothing wrong here and, though they were stupid to choose to help with this scandal, they have nothing to hide with their emails and shouldn’t have to turn them over. The emails are all just friendly advice for how to deal with scandal. This isn’t fair and everyone is going to hate us and it’s all the media fault and NFL’s fault.
PatJew responsed, to paraphrase, directly responding to Roboturner: It is beyond disgusting that you would come on here to defend the Saints for this. They purposely helped the church cover up/downplay the molestation of children and tried to protect the perpetrators. How can you come on here to defend the Saints and say nothing of the horrific things that were done? You are pathetic. This was evil, and your first reaction is to act like you and the poor Saints are the victims.
Pj’s post was much more eloquent and comprehensive than that, but that’s the gist of it. At the same time, there was more context to the Saints scandal. IcyPat had shut down a thread earlier the same day because it was so clearly going to become political/ religious. So my understanding is he noticed this thread was now also starting to derail into debating the scandal, so he deleted everyone’s comments (4-5 people) so the thread now ended with harmless banter from the day before. Then a little while later Pj created that post about his being deleted and leaving.
I hope he comes back, but maybe he just needs a break and has something going on in his non-cyber life right now. Seems many have reached out to him and IcyPat apologized for deleting his post. I don’t think anyone was trying to silence or disregard his opinion. His post deletion was just collateral damage.
צי איר טראַכטן PatJew קען זיין ווארטן צו זען ווי לאַנג דעם פאָדעם לאַסץ אויף די פאָרום 'ס הויפּט בלאַט איידער צוריקקומען?Thx. Spell check was fun with all the yiddish words, all scrunched up on my iPhone.

It's fascinating to me how what looks to me like friends having their friends back in the face of you saying PatJew was just fishing for attention is being cast by you as 'condescending emotional gibberish'.
Normally I can't roll my eyes hard enough when join dates are invoked but in this instance I think your join date means you lack a ton of context. Patjew has, year in and year out, been one of the posters least likely to cause a scene. I think quitting the board of having his posts deleted was an emotional response and I hope he reconsiders but take it from me - the biggest attention whore on this board - Patjew wasn't looking for attention.
I'm ashamed to admit, my alter-ego is Ring 6/AJ.Something just came to me while washing the dog with a medicated shampoo.
The last sentence below is a tell, if not a full-on cry for help. fnord is in fact PatJew's alter ego, the voice of his dark side, given an outlet that allows him to continue to be the civil, thoughtful guy that he is.
I call on every poster who has done this - create a good cop/bad cop duality to come forth and admit who your alter ego is. There's no shame in this.

I heard he's waiting for this thread to get >69 pages before he makes his return, so we've gotta a ways to go.Patjew is a good poster.
Any update on when he will start posting again?
You said: "I call on every poster who has done this - create a good cop/bad cop duality to come forth and admit who your alter ego is. There's no shame in this."? The idea is that the alter ego is your opposite.
right!! a reporter from the IndyStar...I knew I'd seen that country cornpone, turnip truck escapee somewhere...
