I'm Back

This board is NOT an OPEN forum, nor should it be. It is an asset that many of us get to enjoy that requires regulation.

Having pros visit this site increases the value to this asset for many members.

There is a common tendency for unknowns to have a swing at a tall poppy, to call them out on their inconsistencies or imperfections. In order to encourage pros to join this community we need to be on the side of caution regarding allowing rudeness toward pros.

Now if a pro wants to risk his reputation by attacking another pro then it makes sense to give them a bit of rope to hang themselves. It provides an interesting insight into the mind of pros, which is a lot more interesting than getting insights into the mind of wannabe tall poppy slayers.

If the moderators don't get this balance right they'll soon hear about it. You can't please all the people all the time. However, I for one would like to see more pros feeling comfortable posting here and if that means some of the members have to bite their tongue a bit, so be it.

Your comments are all spot on.

I believe that those who complain about the censorship and the rules of the forum should choose to go elsewhere to argue their points.

The rules are here for all members to go by and they are not up for discussion.

As the dissenting people go their separate ways, the forum will get back to settling in on it's positive evolutionary journey.

Good contributing posters will return to posting when some of the angry dissenting posters disappear.

I especially agree with your comment about members biting their tongue when it comes to the professional players. They deserve some slack but that doesn't mean they will run roughshod over the regular posting
word-meisters on this forum. The smart professionals will be attempting to gain favor with fans rather than creating distance with them.

Comback Tour

So, my ban was lifted last night. The funny thing is, I don't know why I was banned in the first place. The only thing I can think of is the fact that I told John Schmidt how I feel about him and that's not acceptable because it's my own opinion and everybody knows that if you post on AZ you're not allowed to have your own opinions. But how come Danny Harriman hasn't been banned yet for talking shit to Mr. Schmidt? I didn't say anything worse then he has and he's still here. Doesn't make sense.

Not much does make sense on these forums though. Forums are supposed to be open for people to share there thoughts, opinions and stories. For some reason thought AZ is different. AZ is a place for some people to share those things and then to give people that don't agree with them shit and then for the "outsiders" to get banned for not conforming. Well there's no ****ing way that I'm going to conform. I'm going to continue to stand up for my friends and talk shit to people I don't like. If people don't like the shit I have to say, DON'T READ MY ****ING POSTS. I don't give anybody on here shit for standing up for people they respect or admire or whatever so there's no reason for me to be given the shit I do. I'm not sure if people are jealous that I'm actually friends with a top player and all they can do is drool over the players they like and hope someday to get their autograph or what, but people need to get over that shit. If I get banned again for stating my opinions and standing up for a friend, so be it. But I refuse to be like the rest of you and change just so people will like me.

Suprnva,

I don't know you but you has some valid points its just too bad you won't be able to make them in the near future. I think your comeback tour is going to last just a little bit longer than Rosie O'Donell's dinner.

WTF could possibly make you want to dig this garbage up from nearly 2 months ago.:scratchhead: :scratchhead:
 
Lol

Sup ... You're like a thief in jail counting down the days till you can go pull your next job!!! (If that was a fly-by for you, I totally understand).
 
I think that, given his contributions in this thread, we all know how Black-Balled's post count got so big.:thumbup:

Also an excellent commentary regarding the utter uselessness of this thread.

I want that half hour back!:D :D
