    Eliminate all hypothetical trade threads, especially the ones that use that website that always ends in "TRADE ACCEPTED". What is the point of debating a trade that isn't even a rumor? If something comes out in the news, fine but otherwise why even talk about it?

    BBS etiquette? This is a place where we all like to give our opinions and give comments on different opinions. It wouldnt be the same if we had to worry about what we are typing all of the time. When I go and hang out with my buddies and shoot the sh*&, I dont worry about etiquette. Im not saying that your all my buddies,but you all know what I mean. I dont know any of you, but I like to give my input on certain subjects, being personal or not. This place is great. BBS Hangout. ........I can hangout in here and the Mrs doesnt get mad either:D ......unless Mrs.JB starts to post some of them cheerleading pics.....;)

    I feverishly worshipped the Crown Royal God on Saturday night, and I spend Sunday morning on my knees praying at his porcelain altar.

    I don't believe in the traditional concept of god.
    I believe in a higher power that I believe is neutral and doesn't take notice of us.
    I do not worship this power.
    I do not believe in religion because I've never seen any verifiable evidence that they know any more than I do about what happens when we die because so far the afterlife has proven to be a one way trip for everyone.
    I do not believe in religion because it is too often used as a weapon while preaching peace.

    That's my basic views on religion. :p

    I thought this was a thread to eliminate members.

    Nobody is naming names and polling to see who should get kicked off.

    If we're not going to do this thread "Survivor" style, then it's just another "What annoys you" thread, and that has been done in excess also, IMO.

    BORING!

    Some people post way too much. I don't think anyone should be posting more than 13.29 posts per day. :)

    Well, we could have a thread to see who has the longest ignore list. Then half the people might think they have won, because of the ignore lists. :)

    Sounds like you have issues with Christianity, not religion.


    How about no new topics until after 5:00 (for the working people).

    I'd like to have people not assume that if one disagees with one person's political belief that makes him either :

    a hippie liberal

    or

    a souless rightwinger

    there are plenty of us who are neither.....

    (btw, I don't think Democrats are hippie liberals or Republicans are souless rightwingers...these are examples of the labels I see thrown about when political threads go Johnny Storm - FLAME ON!)

    Actually FFB we don't have the authority to do this "Survivor" style, moderate your own site and kick off who you want.

    I find myself getting upset at things that may or may not be intentionally offensive. However, because of what I(we) have listed, if I lash out at someone because I find something offensive they can't say they weren't warned.

    BTW I'm NOT a Rev. Jessie Jackson fan, but I do respect his title.

    Why are you people arguing religion in this thread? Here's a great example of THREAD DERAILING. For the love of ... um... whatever deity you pray to, step outside, start a new thread, and play Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Zealots elsewhere. Sheesh.

    ... And yes, I DO have a bad case of the Mondays.

    ~Make the topic of your thread somewhat similar to your story/article/question, its easier to see if its already been posted.
    Alot of times I'll see someone getting scolded for double posting a story but the original thread title is nowhere near related to the actual story or topic. No wonder?!

    also...

    ~I'd like to see some threads of praise for our team and/or players. Enjoy the team and the game. MMMKay?
