JoeC36 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Isn't that the way it should be? Shouldn't the most you need to do is tell people to calm down, I would think that would be enough? I was banned twice at JI. Once for telling the Cannizzaro story above and another time because I disagreed with someone who was talking about how beautiful M Obama was. I disagreed, said I didnt get all the people falling over her and thats all it took, two weeks off. yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You're right. As stupid a place it could be. As much as some home got preferential treatment while others got suspensions, the board was pretty active and we the fans made it work. Even with all sooth did to make it suck at times. This place is a different story, plus as a JI poster from the beginning lots of new old names to talk jets football with. Max does a great job and this place is a reflection of the good work he does. This is how I remember it.... It was fun in spite of SOOTH. in fact, he was an a$$ at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Outside of spam, in my three years of moderator I cannot think of a poster that I have seriously banned. I think I jokingly banned Tom a couple times for like 2 hours and JR128 for a day just because, but nothing for a serious amount of time. Everyone here is pretty good about policing themselves which we all appreciate. You just want people to love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well you got one liberal mod mad at you.. I'm surprised I never got banned for thinking the compiler wasn't the best back in Jet history..LOL I get that but it was a stupid, liberal mod. Not thinking MObama is a beauty had nothing to do with politics. The whole compiler debate is what it is, a football debate. Shouldn't piss anyone off. I don't agree with you on that one but don't get pissed. I understand...that youre wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Fan RI Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 In spite of all the BS over at JI the people made it a great place for Jets fans. It (WAS) one of the most active Jets sites year round, which was great. Everyone tried to tell Smooth what would happen when he sold out to scout and it has come to pass. Yet who would not have taken the money and run themselves. Max has done an amazing job here and all of the JI transplants are happy it was here. We hope that our participation will add to a wonderful place for Jets fans to share there love of this organization. Maxman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 This is how I remember it.... It was fun in spite of SOOTH. in fact, he was an a$$ at times. Sooths biggest miss was he believed he created, ran and nurtured a great popular Jets board. He didn't get that he provided the site but we made it what it was. Proof is that the site was sold, the best of us left and the board sucks balls now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So you think he was the best back in Jet history?? Freeman was my favorite. Martin was more consistent, much more durable and tough though.

He didn't get that he provided the site but we made it what it was. I think Sooth realized that, but that he also thought we'd all blindly follow him to that sh*thole of a new site. He also must've thought we were a bunch of rubes with the whole 'email update' that went down a month before the site announcement. I still get the sh*tty Scout emails to this day... and who knows what else to my spam folder. After a decade at JI, happy to be (mainly lurker) at JN. I joined years ago and popped in from time to time, but without a doubt this is my new spot to read dudes talkin dudes... and sometimes football too.

The world is changing, and not for the better. At least these guys set the bar really low for the rest of us. Not many guys fit in big boy pants anymore. Skinny jeans are where it's at.

Great time to bust out the custom loomed Jacquard breeches I've been saving for a special day. They also sport elegant, though muted, brocade accents which should really stand out in the crowd. Haven't fully thought out an appropriate, fashion forward, top. Should I create a fully matching ensemble? Throw convention to the wind and go fully whimsical? I'll keep you posted.

That someone like SAR would go from saying stupid outlandish nonsense from post to post and then run to a mod to complain that I was arguing with him over and over and over again, crying that I needed to be disciplined turned into a sport. Was fun to read his whiney messages to mods. I will never understand that mentality. Or lack of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get mad enough at each other just talking football, no need to throw political fuel on the fire. Again I get that. And for the exact reason you state. But if you allow a 3 page discussion on the beauty that is Michele and thats not a political conversation then how do you ban someone who just doesnt agree because its political. Didn't call out her politics, didn't call out her husbands politics, nothing political was brought up. It made no sense other than someone may have made assumptions that were wrong. If anything the thread should have been shut down, no one should have been banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really passionate about it. It turns out he was looking to protect us from himself. Definitely is a good idea to avoid politics though. Just talking sports gets heated enough.
