    Except if the bulletin board is privately owned. At that point it's up to the owner as to what is allowed and not allowed. If Clutch wanted to make this RepublicanCity.net or whatever and still talk basketball, it's up to him. It's freedom of speech, but it's also right of ownership. You have a right to say what you please on this board, but he has a right to shut you up because it's his board. Your only recourse is to make everybody know how lame Clutch is and tell them to leave the board... (good luck). [​IMG]

    Dude, I thought that post was just saturated with sarcasm. I really don't care about this little tiff going on with you and Clutch. I think its funny, and I'm having fun with it. But then again, you don't give a crap...

    Before Transmission intervened... I did want to comment on that time that we were all lambasting the Timberwolves for promising Joseph Smith the max. We were ruthless, and did Clutch say anything? Not a word.

    Jesus, this is a tough audience. I don't see your point on how a single post can't contain humor, sincerity, and respect. I apologized -- if that isn't good enough for you then I suppose I'll find another place to post. Let it be known, I'm not seeking an apology from anyone. I just ask you not to over-analyze my words.

    I always thought your posts were hilarious Transmission.

    Hmm. Whatever you say! Maybe its the way you are capable of making your "this message has been edited by" tags invisible, or the crazy html thing you did with that "message on top" in the tickets? forum.

    Anyway, shanna and RM95 admitted to being "IamMiranda". And how is my name old?

    Good to see a bit a humour back on this board...

    Dr of Dunk...I guess you are right. Suffice to say, any board with CREDIBILITY isn't going to operate like you suggest. I think Clutch does a great job here...I merely voiced an opinion that he'd let his own biases cloud his ways of operating lately.

    Hey P...mate...what style of writing is that...;-)...

    Seriously...I have 92 posts over about two years. I think about 6 of them are anti Bush. That stil gives me over 80% basketball related posts.

    Unlike some guys here...and all power to them...I don't live on these boards. I like to read them most weeks, and I try to post when I have the time...but this isn't my main thing. It's a great sports fan site, and it's the Rockets...so I love it. However, I have other interests.

    Rocketbooster...what are you smokin mate????

    Anyway, this is getting old.

    What 'credibility' is at stake here? We don't claim to be ****ing CNN.com or anything.

    The point is simple, and I have a hard time 'comprehending' people's refusal to accept it. Say anything you want, unless Clutch asks you not to say it. If you go ahead and say it again, he's going to kick you. It's very, very, very simple.

    The reason Clutch asked Danilo to shut the **** up was because Danilo was posting strictly to antagonize him-- acting like a 17-yr old brat, in other words.

    Thanks to those who defended me and always interesting to see the 1 or 2 who did not. Now that Jet has been allowed his voice, and everything has calmed down, here's my response:

    Like I said, coming from you Marc, someone I consider to be quite "gutless" himself, this all means zero to me. It's plainly obvious this has nothing to do with danilo or me or this board, but everything to do with what you believe is a "religous freak" party in office. You're happy to see a "bit a humour back on this board", but you flipped out some time ago over the <a href="http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum7/HTML/002016.html">CNN poll/Florida ballot joke</a> (which, again, you claimed made me lose credibility. ??? Nice.) Oh sorry, forgot -- you asked for your past words not to be used against you.

    If a black ref kicks out a white basketball player, or vice versa, all it takes is one teammate of that kicked player, angered by the overall outcome of the game, to make a ridiculous claim of racism. Never mind that this player elbowed others, spouted off to the ref and kicked some chairs -- he was ejected because of his skin color.

    Anyone who can read everything in this thread about the details of why he was kicked (including from danilo himself who acknowledged his last post you did not see), then has the balls to say, "How gutless is that mate? The guy disagrees with you...so he get a warning...and then gets chucked." is an idiot.

    danilo was warned because he disagreed with me? ("That's it! You want Gore as president?? You've been warned!") What... he was kicked because he was a democrat? Are democrats now unkickable? They can spout off and do what they please because if they're kicked then it's because Clutch doesn't agree with their political philosophy?

    There is zero logic behind your accusation. You're saying this garbage only because you lost -- ie Gore lost the race.

    How ridiculous, mate.

    If you don't want to be here, what are you doing here? Seriously. Last I checked clutchcity.net wasn't added to any school curriculum. If you don't "give a crap" then what's the problem with me kicking you? Silly me, it slipped my mind: it's what you want so you can continue to spout off about democrats not welcome on this board. Australian democrats no less.

    I mean who is the coward here? The guy who runs the site and is here every day or the guy who shows up once in a blue moon (whose "fuzzy math" includes rounding up 15 months to "2 years") to take a potshot at the other? Because the bottom line is Jet: The very fact that this post was not deleted (when it should be) and you were not tossed (when you should be) does more to discredit you and your supposed point in this thread then anything I can do or say.

    So put that in your pipe and smoke it, mate.

    And lastly: Bush is in office -- deal with it.

    Total number of times RM95, shanna, Achebe, heypartner, Behad, and rimbaud-- all left of center in their political leanings have been threatened with expulsion from the board: ZERO.

    Total number of times Kagy was so sorely tempted to kick them all for making him look foolish in an argument: 1,446,031.

    I think we show a great deal of restraint given the emotional tenor of the issues on this board. I've been literally furious at all of those guys before, but I've never banned (or joking aside ever actually considered banning) anyone for anything other than violating the TOS.

    Finally checking in, I see from the top of this thread that somebody expected me to play good cop here. Well, whatever kind of cop I am, I'm way too late. It's 9 in the morning, and this drunken brawl is over, and everyone who participated in it is lying on the ground in his own barf, sleeping off his stupor and his wounds. The embarrassment will set in as everyone awakens and sobers up.

    As far as I can tell, there are two problems here. One is the age-old disease that keeps returning to this BBS: People who can't find anything else to say or do start yapping about themselves and each other, trying to provoke something. A self-styled renegade martyr picks a meaningless, egotistical little fight with an administrator. The administrator falls for it. Bystanders jump in from all sides, mistaking this stupid little squabble for a test of free speech or some other principle slightly larger than a bunch of sportswatching geeks at keyboards.

    The other problem is new. What Clutch has said for weeks about Gore and his supporters is no meaner, angrier, or more unfair than what Clutch has said for years about the Utah Jazz and their fans. Except now it's not about sports, it's about politics. And whereas almost none of the regulars on this site are Utah Jazz fans, many, both new and old, are Democrats and Gore supporters. This is why bartenders try not to discuss religion or politics with their patrons. It's the price of having a Hangout forum -- and human beings running it.

    Will, welcome back! Let me be the first to jump your butt.

    Not that you suggested it, but I don't think Clutch--or any of you Admins--have to take the "high road" on every discussion. If you're baited, and you respond like a normal human does when baited, that simply reminds us that you are human.

    Yes, Clutch was no meaner, angrier, or more unfair in these discussions than what he has said for years about the Utah Jazz and their fans. What you failed to point out though was that Clutch was no meaner, angrier, or more unfair in these discussions than many of the Gore supporters who outnumbered AND baited him.
