You have been nominated every time we do this. At least you know people respect your judgement. 

And every time I've respectfully declined.

Like I said, I appreciate it. But I've done that job before and I wouldn't want to do it again.

I don't think I saw when this happened, but yeah that's waaaaaay outta line.

They got into a tiff in the tinderbox and brought it to the game day thread. It was petty.

Don't blame you. No way I would I either. I just don't take stuff serious enough.

i can understand the frustration there. the problem IMO is an institutional refusal to lock down legit hate speech. the only person i spill over into main forum stuff with is ecu88 because he's been dumping nazi poo on these boards for years and had somehow gone unchecked. this whole thread exists because he was deliberately shitposting in the gameday thread and i called him a stormfront poster and he responded by posting my address and pictures of my house, then begged igo to block me for him (even though he can do that himself, he just doesn't want to own his emotional reactions.)

again, decide what is definably racist (proud boy avatars, lynching avatars, fascist icons, racial slurs, etc) and ban for it, no exceptions, and most of these issues will simply solve themselves.

You literally just threatened to spray politics from one end of this forum to the other until you get banned if the Tinderbox gets shut down. Read what you just posted and then think about your reaction. How is that kind of reaction any different than the behaviors that are demonstrably making this forum less civil?

And, having no idea about your personal life at all, I would seriously question why you so strongly feel the need to engage in these pitched battles on the internet. If you legitimately have such strongly held beliefs then you need to step out from behind the keyboard and get into the streets. You should be protesting, organizing, talking to people and generally making a real difference. But here we are with you on the internet not being able to disengage from your political/social views enough to even have a football discussion without being a part of a large group that frustrates the rest of us.

All the while neither side of this argument gains appreciable support from anyone, just angers and inflames a few and the rest leave. So, what good does this campaign even do in the Football forum? What good? Honestly.

king taharqa would straighten this place out

I wish he was still here. One of the realest posters on the board. I used to love his posts, and he kept the Hornets form running well. He’d be my first choice.

I nominate @top dawg or @KaseKlosed

Both know football, and both are great posters who’s posts I always pay attention to.

I don't know that they're ready for me, Lean.

Your younger---shall I say--less jaundiced view of society would probably make you well-received.

Why? For what purpose? Whether people or disagree with you is irrelevant. Whether a noble cause or an unhealthy obsession is irrelevant.

This. Is. A. Goddamn. SPORTS. Message. Board.

You have the entire fuging internet and all of social media to take up your cause and solider on but why the fug are you doing it in a goddamn sports message board? WTF is wrong with you people? 

I’d imagine it’s easier to prey on and feels more empowering to blindside a football forum where user’s purpose/interest isn’t to be informed to debate such things. Plus you watch the Panthers it’s a win win. The social sites geared towards tinderbox topics simply would be too much of a challenge and not give the attention/satisfaction needed for our tinderbox internet warriors.

[top dawg]

I must say that being in the #YangGang has given me a new perspective, caused me to be more patient and willing to listen. I think you guys should try it. Seriously!

[micnificent28]

Ncfan is a very solid choice. Only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Doc would make a good mod as well. Definitely a cool level headed poster. 

As much as I am, I’m just not on here enough anymore. Thanks tho.

I said to someone else (forget who) that believing their personal crusade was so important that they couldn't even allow people to have a simple football conversation made them kind of douchey.

It's true.

There are loads of places all over the Internet to talk politics and whatever. Trying to shoehorn that in to a football conversation is just annoying.

I'm pretty sure if you had people with hardcore religious views trying to turn every conversation about football to that, people wouldn't like them.

Unfortunately, some of the people who would be upset about that are doing the exact same thing with their political views.

Again thanks, but I don't want the job.

Understand. For the record, imo you’re the most respected Poster on here.  Definitely have my respect, and think you’d make a fine mod if you ever changed your mind.
