    There needs to be a new Garm for 99'ers and a very selected few members. This board has officially gone out of hand.

    You know I've held off for a while, but you know, I expect much more from you. You're a man that served our country, a father and a long time poster. I just don't get why you can't be someone here that adds more to the board than you do. What do you get from belittling people? Name calling? How does that improve upon all that you don't like in this thread?

    There are many times I want to smack someone here with my words and do on occasion. That said there is a time and place and it isn't to beat people down.

    I'm sure you'll come back with some smart ass comment or something negative, but that's cool. I won't respond to it. I just hope you decide to post something worthy of reading in the future, because quite frankly, I haven't seen it from you in quite a while now.

    I knew who his source was from the very beginning, and that is why I posted quickly to give him some legitimacy in the hopes you bunch of douchebags wouldnt run off yet ANOTHER f****in insider.

    Way to go guys. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    This is why we cant have nice things.

    to those of you posting crap like, "it's just the internet" or "its just a forum" to explain why you are such humongous dicks....

    YOU DONT GET IT.

    We(long term members) consider this a community, we know each other and care about each other's feelings....that is why the longterm members put such importance on how long you have been here...it shows you jsut might underrstand why we love this place.

    but great....in your efforts to make sure nobody sees you falling for fake insiders you have managed to run off at least two and possibly more insiders because they dont feel like putting up with the nastiness.

    so many of you should count yourselves lucky Clutch is the final say on bannings, because I am FURIOUS at Batmans treatment in here. :mad:

    I just don't see the point of saying "hey im an insider but I will never post any insider information as to not lose my source" that is very understandable but why even say anything? I am not in favor of all the negative posts and pitchfork mentality some people have with people claiming to be insiders. Just if you aren't going to ever post insider info you might as well not bring it up.

    If you were a volunteer at a soup kitchen and the people you're feeding constantly complains ("Why don't I get more?" "This isn't enough!" "This is crap. Where's the real food?" "You think you're better than us?") would you still have an even temper and put up with it?

    can't we all just get along?

    The board has had major meltdowns before. I think it will work itself out. Hopefully whatever Morey has left up his sleeve happens very soon so every one will stop freaking out and we can have rational discussions again.

    What kind of response would you expect to somebody who basically says, "I know somebody very high up in the organization and have some awesome inside information but I'm not telling!"

    I mean... wtf? Why even mention that at all unless your only intention was to brag?

    The responses he got are not surprising at all.

    I understand where you and others are coming from but what's the difference between what Batman Jones said and the many cryptic posts/tweets Doc Rocket has put up over the years?

    Both gives us something but also gives us nothing at the same time.

    The unfortunate part is that both have gone away because of the needless criticisms and ridicule.

    Last I checked, we would still get people asking "Where's Doc Rocket?" or people still posting his tweets up.

    Here's a better analogy...

    A guy walks into a soup kitchen with a bunch of food and says "look at all this food I have!" And eats it right in front of the hungry and says he's not giving any of it out.

    Glory or death!

    But seriously, the need (or desire) to satisfy the knee jerk just gives justification to it. The offseason is basically the antithesis to the demand for immediate gratification, and there's way too much pandering to that bull**** as is.

    Touche.

    Maybe I've just been used to our insiders not giving us anything more than either cryptic/shallow messages or take is on a rollercoaster ride that Player X will come here when, in fact, he doesn't.

    yea and those people are the worst posters on this board...constantly asking/bugging about info. But what Batman is doing is pretty childish his join date/rep bar/vouching are the only reason people pay attention to what he post but the reality is that its no different than some new join date coming in here and saying they have info but can't tell. Pathetic
