the state of this site

Weak shit. Jenn will call a motherfucker out with the quickness when they try to limp wrist her.

Arm fully extended, palm down, wrist @ 30* downward angle, slight giggle.

Note to self. Stay out of the political forum.

And the territory is Guam!

I think it all started when obama won his second term.

Rodney,

You have to realize that you were gone for a long time on this site. This place is a constantly evolving creature. People either stick around or come and go. The ones that stick around, slightly change (whether they know it or not) to adapt to this place just as people coming in make changes to the site's demeanor. If you stick around for a while, then leave for a period of time and finally come back later, you can't expect the newer people to "get you" like we did back in the day just like you can't expect the people who have always been here to interact the same. They have stuck around each other over the years (on here) and changed with each other.

There is also another element that needs to be taken into considereation... people's outside lives. Yoy have to remember, most of us were young, single, bar-hopping, in college, etc. at one point. Now those same people are career builders, home makers, heads of households, community leaders and bitter old men.

Priorities and veiws on life have changed. You can't expect anyone to be the same as they were 15 years ago.

How many world changes have we experienced together through this board?! We have had chaos unfold in front of us like 9/11 (remember that thread, live?), we have had several of us go to war around the world, way too many of our fellow members have died, several incidents of tragedy occurred locally involving members, quite a few marriages, several graduations/jobs/promotions, an awesome amount of babies brought into this world, people coming to faith, fights (physical and verbal), many moves, a board takeover and joint migration, members coming together to the aid of those in need, massive e-lynchings...

Man, just thinking about the changes, it is almost overwhelming! To just broadly state that you wish it went back to "the way it was" is just unfair to yourself and everyone involved. I only say this because you'll just end up beating yourself over this thinking.

I hope everyone reads this post and takes something from it. The world is too small and this life is too short to spend every waking moment at each other's throats.

Your Brother,
Dennis

i think so too. I think everyone has a little sand in their poon after that one.....

[jyro]

no dog in this fight but, if you want a thread locked, why not just delete it unless your a true narcissist and think what you say and think just shouldn't ever be deleted.

[lowthreeohz]

I find it all hilarious.

[Doug Hatton]

wow... what'd I miss?

I didn't know Denny was black.

[Sleeper]

I dont think ive ever met rodney, but how you are now, is nothing like how i remember your post back in the day. I get a kick out of you giving dochtr shit, as i feel he deserves it.

When we are all around 65 and dont give a shit anymore, we will get back to the early 2000 days.

I'm sure I annoy people on here, but I like this site cause it helps pass the work day. I'm really passionate about sports, and I like looking at numbers and figures.

Do you also like long walks on the beach and sometimes have that 'not so fresh' feeling?

Fuck you..



Fuck you...



You're cool..



And fuck you again ...

I'm out!

Shortest response from Craig. Ever.




As for the thread...You are the first person (I believe) that I have ever seriously banned. I, as others have said, just got sick of seeing you trolling every. fucking. thread. It was just too much and I had many asking why we hadn't done anything. After getting several reported post emails about you and seeing your trolls in every thread I went into, I had had it.

I have no ill will towards you or anyone else on this site. The thing is, that many of us do still go to the track, talk shit online and hang out every/every other weekend so a lot of things are handled in person or on fb so it's not as public as posting a thread on here. You seem like a genuinely good person, you stepped up and contacted me when I posted about my student and have a lot of very good posts. I just hate to see your name in a thread now, because you have been intentionally irritating people.

Craig made an excellent response and I second what he said. He writes much more eloquently than I do and since he doesn't let me have books in the kitchen, I'll just let that speak for me, as well.

Only from the gums out.
