Are you hinting at a political motivation? If so, you're off the mark ... laKa is one of you guys.Think about it. It will come to you. Hint.....where are you and I posting and who are the favorites here?

Not at all. Has nothing to do with politics. So......tell me......who are "you guys" anyway?Are you hinting at a political motivation? If so, you're off the mark ... laKa is one of you guys.
I don’t know about getting banned and all that. But referring to your son’s friends or teammates as “Ns” and not expecting people to call it out is silly. You shouldn’t have used that here, regardless of whether your African American friend told you that you can refer to him that way or not. I think lionjim has it right. Just acknowledge you shouldn’t have used that reference here and move on.Why would I be banned? What did I do?
keep diggingNope, you old guys are not embracing the modern world. This isn’t 1950. Do you know who chance the rapper is?
calling me racist is just silly and makes me laugh
That's not how this works ... I'm still waiting to find out what the obvious reasons are. We can't just skip ahead.Not at all. Has nothing to do with politics. So......tell me......who are "you guys" anyway?
I doubt it’s because Tom is another fan of Chance the Rapper.That's not how this works ... I'm still waiting to find out what the obvious reasons are. We can't just skip ahead.
I just wish ANYONE here would be man enough to say what they mean. I mean, as we know, laKa is just trash, so I know he'll never be man enough to do it (he's used this reference multiple times on this board), but I don't know what the great mystery is around alpha's comments. I mean, alpha is apparently confused by my comments ... and I'm more than willing to clarify that (it's quick and easy) ... but not until alpha is done playing whatever game he's playing for whatever reason.I doubt it’s because Tom is another fan of Chance the Rapper.
Its simple. Laka won't get booted from this board because he's an Eagles fan. So, what do you mean by "you guys"?That's not how this works ... I'm still waiting to find out what the obvious reasons are. We can't just skip ahead.
For whoever's edification, in case there's any confusion (and there obviously shouldn't be):
This was a case of a white guy, who liked to think he was friendly with black folks (you know, the guy who has a black friend ... although most normal, decent folks can point to one "black friend") using the N-word:
Ah, OK. I had no idea he was an Iggles fan, and didn't really know Tom was, either. Shows how much I pay attention. I also, obviously, had no clue there were any assertions of pro-Iggles moderating biases.Its simple. Laka won't get booted from this board because he's an Eagles fan. So, what do you mean by "you guys"?
So do you akways pigeon hole people according to their political persuasion?Ah, OK. I had no idea he was an Iggles fan, and didn't really know Tom was, either. Shows how much I pay attention. I also, obviously, had no clue there were any assertions of pro-Iggles moderating biases.
"You guys" = conservative. Since I had no idea what you were referencing, and the only complaint I've heard about Tom was that he allegedly favors non-cons, that was all I had to go on. And since laKa doesn't speak English, I figured that maybe you didn't know his political leanings.
This is may be more foolish than your 'Franklin has bad kickers' take. So sick of people b!tching about Tom's perceived biases, which is quite unfounded. If you don't like the way he runs the board you know where the door is.Its simple. Laka won't get booted from this board because he's an Eagles fan. So, what do you mean by "you guys"?
My friend.....you're the old guy here. The N word was only acceptable in the pre civil war on southern plantations. It has no place in modern society.Nope, you old guys are not embracing the modern world. This isn’t 1950. Do you know who chance the rapper is?
calling me racist is just silly and makes me laugh
I was very clear in why I made that connection in the instant case. Clear enough that there's no way a reasonable person could reply to me as you did. If you're desperate to stir up drama beyond laKa's cowardly reference to the n-word, find somewhere else to do it.So do you akways pigeon hole people according to their political persuasion?
You just validated my point. Perception is reality my friend. Are you aware of La Kas post?This is may be more foolish than your 'Franklin has bad kickers' take. So sick of people b!tching about Tom's perceived biases, which is quite unfounded. If you don't like the way he runs the board you know where the door is.
Not stirring up anything my friend. Just making an observation.I was very clear in why I made that connection in the instant case.

That response make zero sense. Please explain how I validated your point?You just validated my point. Perception is reality my friend. Are you aware of La Kas post?
You acknowledged many hear have the same perception. Just saying.That response make zero sense. Please explain how I validated your point?
My friend. You made an accusation and then tried to back away from it with a frivolous excuse. You don't know me from Adam, yet you felt it necessary to reveal your prejudice without an ounce of evidence by labeling me as a "you guys". So who has tried his best to look worse than the guy.....................?You're trying your best to look worse than the guy who is slinging around the abbreviated n-word. Stop. And before you try to respond in an "I'm not doing anything" manner ... stop. Just stop.
Yeah that proves nothing. Many people have the perception that the earth is flat. Doesn't make it correct.You acknowledged many hear have the same perception. Just saying.
Pose that thought to anyone who runs a business.Yeah that proves nothing. Many people have the perception that the earth is flat. Doesn't make it correct.
You're grasping at straws. The fact that a number of people think that Tom is politically or sportsfan biased does not make it true. This won't be true no matter what silly spin you put on it. And you are the only one that I've ever encountered who claims sports bias.Pose that thought to anyone who runs a business.
We will just leave it that we agree to disagree. If you're correct, I'm sure the board host doesn't mind that I disagree.You're grasping at straws. The fact that a number of people think that Tom is politically or sportsfan biased does not make it true. This won't be true no matter what silly spin you put on it. And you are the only one that I've ever encountered who claims sports bias.
Now start showing your board host some f@cking respect or get lost.

"YOU NEED TO STOP."? Let me ask you. Do you take an authoritarian position with everyone who disagrees with you. By the way, how do you know that I'm a conservative? I've never met you. That was my point my friend. It's prejudicial when you place labels on people who you know nothing about. If I'm wrong, as you say, than what does that make you....right? If that's the case, I prefer to be wrong. But let's just end this discussion with the fact that you and I simply have a disagreement. By the way, it's perfectly fine to disagree my friend. Have a good evening.I told you to stop. You didn't heed my sage advice. And now you've made yourself look even worse.
I didn't make an accusation. YOU made an accusation. You, out of nowhere, claimed someone wouldn't be banned (that potential action hadn't even been talked about), and you accused someone of taking such actions (or lack thereof) due to some motivation, which you wouldn't disclose. That's, of course, extremely cowardly. Since I had no idea what you were accusing anyone of, I asked you ... quite plainly and nicely. You, again, took a snarky tone in doubling down on your cowardice, by refusing to answer and telling me it was obvious, if I just thought about it. Of course, it wasn't obvious, because I wasn't even aware of certain folks' team allegiances, and being a reasonable human, even if I did know that, I wouldn't have surmised that this would be a reason to not ban someone. So, because you wouldn't share any of your reasoning behind your accusations, after being asked ... I contingently speculated ... notice I preceded my statement with "if" ... because I was stating I didn't know ... I wasn't accusing anyone of anything. I was just clarifying a point. Nothing more. You, again, refused to clarify your initial cowardly accusation, and then doubled down and tried to accuse me of something, in the form of a faux-question (another cowardly move). There was NO prejudice revealed on my part ... I simply identified laKa as a fellow (to you) conservative. Which is a FACT. You also lied by claiming you were just stating an observation, when, in fact, you were just throwing an unfounded accusation. So, it's CLEAR you've been in the wrong here the entire way. YOU NEED TO STOP.
Dude. How do I know you’re conservative? Lol. Because you’ve expressly said so over and over again on the former board. Good lord. My non-friend, you’ve lost your marbles. YOU. NEED. TO. STOP."YOU NEED TO STOP."? Let me ask you. Do you take an authoritarian position with everyone who disagrees with you. By the way, how do you know that I'm a conservative? I've never met you.

Oh, now I see where your coming from. What the heck does that have to do with the offensive post that crept into a string discussing high school football game? My friend, you could simply admit we have a disagreement and walk away. But instead you insist on taking an authoritarian position and pose your will onto someone else.Dude. How do I know you’re conservative? Lol. Because you’ve expressly said so over and over again on the former board. Good lord. My non-friend, you’ve lost your marbles. YOU. NEED. TO. STOP.
