Here's an Idea

Why don't all of you arguing just stop. You all are making yourselves look bad by trying to look right and like the bigger, better man. Why does this site have to be ruined for two weeks every few months because someone has to start a stupid fued over one little comment. If you have an issue with someone, take it private and handle it like adults. Don't throw a tantrum and spam the rest of the site about it. It doesn't help your case to make every article's comment thread all about you.

Let's get the site back to sports. Please?

How about using the "modern technology" of user boards? Since arguments are between individuals, you can hash things out on each other's boards.

I wish I could vote for lockerroom articles, because this one would get a vote.

It would definitely get about 15 votes, cuz all of the people arguing here would disagree with this article.

The irony of course is I became the object of scorn and derision for stating that I was offended by a couple of things TB said but posted a passionate defense of his right to say it. So now TB brands me a PC fanatic telling him what to write, think and say and all of this for defending him?

The irony is that you're both willing to continue offending everyone else with your selfishness in ruining the site with your own issues.

Oh, everyone is just absorbed in themselves - LET THEM BE!@!!! You and I do it too!

As people, when we communicate in any form we project outwardly from the world we're stuck in - then when we see other's projections, we automatically take it personal because of the world we're stuck in.

The most important part of FREE speech is to not give value to other's FREE speech if you don't need to. Let them say what they have to. It hurts you only if you want it to.

MJD and TBriggs are two of the more intelligent and passionate contributors to the site. And honestly they have many similarities and strengths. Both have brought me a breadth of personal satisfaction and informative knowledge so I can say I need them both here. They do their own things very well.

On a personal note: If someone gets upset by what they say, do or type - then it IS something worth reviewing. Comfortable is safe and safe keeps the status quo as sucky as it is.

You can't move forward until you remove the stumbling blocks! I say, like Bob Watson and Cesar Cedeno in Bad News Bears - Let them TYPE! Let them TYPE! Let them TYPE!

Irregardless of intelligent and passionate Manny, when someone says repeatedly that they are done with a topic, then have more posts on the topic after that fact then the Bengals have had players in trouble with the law, it kills their credibility. Then when you look at just ONE side of a situation instead of going after both parties, it makes you look foolish. Both of these things took place here.

I have to disagree here. I got caught in the middle of this thing because I defended TB's rights. Tylersalt specifically said that after readign what I wrote, he was backing down from his threat/desire to build a consensus to ban TB. Yet, because TB was so affronted that someone was insulted by what he said, he made it his mission to lambast anyone who dared disagree with him about anything.

Thus, I was left in a wierd position. I was being mocked, lambasted, insulted, harrassed and had bagels thrown at me just to make sure I understood that Jews could be insulted as easily as gays. All of this because my views on free speech led me to speak out in opposition of TB being banned for his use of the word "Homo."

The thing is, I am not backing down. I am still getting bagels thrown at me today, but it doesn't matter. I know that sticking up for TB's rights, no matter how unworthy he was of my protection, was the right thing to do.

Calling people foolish is foolish.

I haven't read a word of this squabble and I don't care to. But I know enough about both of these guys to figure it out.

Maybe, just maybe what is painful to you is fun to others. What some people see as "getting worked up" is another person doing what they do best... it's a funking sportswiki website, what will be solved in ANY matter discussed here?

Point is: Is there always a better way to do things? Sure. But does that mean that it doesn't work the way it's being done? Results are results and a week from now you'll all be bitching about something else...

Piling onto a subject you supposedly are "sick about" is true foolishness. These guys aren't trolls - they are egos bumping into each other in the dark electtronic medium. It will sort itself out without anyone's help...

Thanks for the clarification, MJD. If anyone has problems with you or Tyrone, then they have a bigger problem - Me!

I object to the use of the word "funking" as a replacement for a curse word.
