OT: 119th Obsequious Banter Thread: April Foods Day

[Kermit the Prog]

Days like today are why I have no interesting in being a moderator on a site like this.

I used to be a mod on the Philadelphia Eagles official forums in the late-1990s to early-2000s. Talk about a shit show (especially TATE). I moderated by the site rules - and wrote a number of rules myself, with Spadaro's approval - but some mods wanted more of a Wild West vide, which undercut other mods and led to anarchy.

I am so sorry for all of the times you had to delete me telling someone their brains were dripping into their f***ing shoes. So very sorry. I owe you many drinks if I ever meet you.

I’m not commenting on the state of news media. I am attempting to gently remind everyone here that for your own protection, you should take extreme caution with your phrasing on social media.

Oh that's the angle.

Man I got that covered. I don't even root for the Flyers. That's how undercover my identity/alias is here
j/k
(or am I)

That sounds awesome, honestly. I mean, not the you having to be a mod part. Everything else screams lawnchair and popcorn though.

Unlike a certain hockey team, I've been "lucky" enough to have never been on social media. I'm like, so lucky

At least now you have a good excuse ( too busy) to be ignoring my DMs, I guess.

I question, with as much emotion aside as possible.

Because I respect you, even though I don’t really “know you”.

You do not feel that giving a voice, allowing a certain rhetoric to go unchallenged for years, to allow guillotines with his head as the centrepiece, riots, etc. that creates chaos?

I have to respectfully disagree, that it’s the time for calm. No. That is over. Being calm, on one side has allowed too much BS on the other. Smashmouth needs to be met with smashmouth.

You can educate me, in your calm - and rational way. I do enjoy it. As always, appreciate your demeanour - and wisdom.

It’s life you know, the Flyers are the flyers yes. But things are not moving in a positive direction, and enough is enough. Years of constantly calling anyone that doesn’t agree with certain things Nazis doesn’t lead to shit like this?

I used to mod a twitch channel of about 100 to 200 viewers. Sometimes it was absolutely the worst cause internet.

Was it a hot tub streamer?

Deal.

I don't know if you remember the "wars" between the Threadkillers and the Mofos, with the Spoolies flip-flopping sides.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Talking about previous cesspool messag boards, how about the philly.com boards, especially the Eagles board?

I do, but I was a little confused about it all. I was just there to be an immature idiot and call people stupid. At least I fixed the latter by now.

There was a lot of stupid to go around, that's for sure.

That unit is Gretzky/Messier/Lemieux with Coffey/Bourque as D.

That's like what, three top-10 forwards and two top-5 d-men of all time?

Meanwhile the Boeing 'astronauts' are having their mailing address changed to the ISS after being up there so long after not being sure the craft will actually function correctly.

I actually got to look at one in Dayton OH... At the Air Force Museum on Wright-Patterson AFB. If you like planes I highly recommend a visit there.
