Now the new guy over there copied rules from somewhere else and was too lazy to change them. Get this rule.

I'm really enjoying this thread now. You can tell that this really does bother 42

I'm not sure what to think about this whole thing. But as a Bears fan it's a little embarrassing. Being a board administrator would be VERY difficult. And I don't mean anything derogatory towards 42 - I'm just saying it's extremely difficult to stay fair an impartial at all times. I don't think I could do it.

I will say the administrator of this board MVCfans is what all board administrators should aspire to be.

I have a little history between myself and the parties involved in this fight. It dates way back to Valley Talk and the reason this fight is happening now is exactly why I was once a decent poster on VT but morphed into a midget posting, bandwidth hogging lout. The people involved are pretty much exactly as Trout describes. In fact, Trout was one of the people that I constantly fought with, but Trout didn't go to the extent of trying to destroy me that the other parties did. Trout would get mad at me and argue, he even called names, but that was about it.

And yes, it was all over Barry Hinson. While I had agreed that Barry Hinson should be fired, I didn't agree with the way he was being treated by the fans. I didn't like the threats, I didn't like the taunts, I didn't like any of the behavior being displayed toward Hinson or his family. Barry Hinson was a good coach, just not good enough. That was my assessment, I think it was fair and I agreed good isn't always good enough and he should go. Fans didn't have any reason to hate. They were justified in wanting a change but the rest was over the top.

But how dare I have an opinion that didn't match theirs!!!! How dare I say anything reasonable about a decent man who simply didn't win enough games!!! How could I come to the defense of Barry Hinson, afterall, he IS THE ANTICHRIST!!!! For that, I was name called, badgered, threatened and they attempted to gang up on me and run me off that site. I almost gave up, but then I saw their pattern, if I posted, they would all post together, berating me and trying to bully me off the site. It was amazing. When I saw what they were doing is when I came up with my defense, for every response any of them made to me, I would make 10 meaningless posts, be it pictures, movie clips, whatever. I attempted to wear them out and also dilute the crap they were saying about me. Unfortunately, I kind of liked posting all of the junk!!! And keep in mind, I kept a count of ten replies for every one post in which they attacked me. On some days, I would post 3-400 times. Yeah, the posting habit took hold, I loved posting the midgets. By the time Ron Paul became an internet viral candidate, I had my whole anti-Ron strategy waiting! I guess I should thank the boys in Missouri for that.

Needless to say, if you have an opinion that differs from them, they won't just discuss it with you, they will call you names, shout you down, and apparently, if you have the keys to the message board, they will silence you.

I really didn't have a dog in this fight, but I do feel sorry for Trout, he doesn't deserve this.
There are three rules that I live by, never get less than 12 hours sleep, never gamble with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never get involved with a chick with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Stick to that and everything else is gravy!

Has to be tough I agree. But having two rival boards will be good, they will have to compete to gain our attention and that is good for all Bears fans. Free message boards are notorious for clowns, crazies, and just all around dumbies maybe what Bears fans need is a premium service like Rivals or Scout.com?

That wouldn't solve anything. I've been on those boards, even the premium sites have their fair share of dolts. And look what happened to the Creighton board when it went to Rivals. It became a ghost town because of the tool running it.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, but Casey lobbed it out there, I ignored it at first, but just couldn't anymore!!!!!
