The Foolishness Must Stop

[boots]

There is a problem at SportsJournalists.com and it needs to end NOW. I and many others have grown tired of clowns getting on threads cursing, trying to cut people down and in short acting like they are in a playground with some of the most asinine statements just to get crap started. It has to end because I feel it affects the the credibility of this board.
I know I can be accused of acting like my moniker "the ultimate ass" but of late, I have actually stepped back and read the vile that has been pouring in. From arguing over the weather to acting jealous because someone recalls how someone has improved their skills over the years, it's completely wacky. No wonder people have stopped posting.
When will it end?
If you want to comment, do so in a way that would your mother proud. If you want comment with a smart-assed answer. Keep it to yourself.
I really would like for this asshole-like behavior to end. More importantly, I'd like to see it change immediately. Fun is fun but this is crazy.
I'd appreciate serious posts about this matter.

This will not end well.

Look in the mirror, Boots, look in the mirror.

I agree with you, boots.

Ok, starting....NOW.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but boots, you're as much a part of the problem as you are part of the solution.

"The Ultimate Ass" wants us to behave.

The foolishness must stop, yet you keep going and going.

I think Boots and co. are reeling from the fact no one respects their opinion anymore.

And actually, I've noticed a much kinder gentler board over the last couple of days ... the only problems I've noticed have revolved around Boots.

Then you, sir, have not been reading. Or perhaps went dyslexic for a short period.

Really ... what did I miss?

Cadet, I have admitted as much. I know people don't like what I say for whatever reason. That's cool. We can all disagree. But the crap that has gone on for the last few days has gone far enough. And that includes the moderators too. They're as much to blame as everyone else along here. No one is exempt and I'm definitely big enough to point out my misgivings.
I, for one, am truly sorry the site has come down to this. Somebody has to say something about. That's why I've created this thread. I really want to find an end to this madness.
And as for respecting opinion write brain, that doesn't mean jack. No one here signs my paycheck (at least that I know of). I am very well respected so getting on here giving advice or my opinion doesn't make or break my day.

Yes, Write-brained, the poster you seem to have a problem with is named stoob.

A general outbreak of nastiness. People, as I have said before, just do not know how to debate. Or etabed.

Sirs, Madames,

I try to be polite most of the time. The usual sniping is tedious. But I reserve the right to call an ass an ass.

YHS, etc

I haven't noticed any nastiness since I've been back from Vegas except for some stuff involving Boom and boots.

Boots starting this thread is a joke. It woulda been thing if you'd started it, shottie, another for someone who's been known to stalk people to do so.

 

[shotglass]

Funny thing is, much of the prepubescent name-calling has come from the females. Take this thread...

Yet you keep starting threads about it ...
