Question: Why does Lavar Arrington SPECIFICALLY dislike ExtremeSkins?

He made mention of his dislike of the "people who run this board" on his show this afternoon. He and Chad Dukes were about to run snippets of the VC interview w. Wise when he alluded to the fact that he doesn't like the message board (the people who run it) one bit. I find that a bit curious. This is the official MB of the Skins and for the most part I find discussions on here to be informative and civil. What in the world happened here that put this board on LA's bad side?

They were discussing why this team and the media have something strange going on, specifically talking about Vinny's comments, all the stuff Dan has done, such as buying this message board. They said they don't like the people on this message board but still, it was the largest Redskins board and Danny bought it, much like he bought ESPN 980, the only sports radio station at the time.

Lavar probably doesn't like this board due to the numerous Lavar and Dukes bashing threads.

Look, Lavar and Chad Dukes drum up drama. That's their MO. They wonder why people would talk badly about them yet all they seem to do is dump on the team. All the time.

Lavar shouldn't like this message board. It's pretty critical of him. Mind you, he deserves most of the hits he takes and even if he didn't... the messages on the board are the thoughts of the public at large. They speak to a greater truth. Historically, we've been hard on a lot of people in B&G from the owner, to the Vinny, to numerous players, ex players as well as those that cover the team. Is the board fair? Not really, it tends to be overprotective when it thinks outsiders are attacking the team, but it's unfair in a completely honest way.

I'm thinking this. You would think that them being in the public eye would give them thick skin but I guess a bunch of random people saying you suck on a message board hurts.

same reason everyone else does. you are all a bunch of smoochy-smooch little snyder salad-tossers.

now please ban me for life.

I don't think they should ban you. I think they should give you a fancy avatar. Something to do with tossing salad, since you're such a fan.

Maybe he thinks the board is too heavily moderated. Personally, I like the moderation here. It keeps things moving, removes the hate (well some of it anyway!) and for the most part there aren't ad hominem attacks by the members and if there are, they are not tolerated (posts or the members who post them).

I don't see a bias of a Redskins party line here either. Posters can criticize anyone from the owner on down. DS gets roasted pretty regularly on here and I don't see him making the moderators ban the posters who blast him.

Lavar has several big chips on his shoulders, some of his own manufacture. I generally avoid any thread with Arrington in it.

No sweat. You've been energetic in douchery for awhile now and your user notes already suggest your ejection as a good course. :)

Per the topic, maybe it's because I started calling him 'Laverne", speaking ill of him in general :pfft:, and then there's the fact that TK pisssed in his shoes while covering a game. :ols:

Everyone knows the mods are a bunch of Danny-bought butt-wipes.

Is that wrong? I can't see why that would cause him to be bitter.

Didn't Dan once give him a big screen tv, or offer to buy him one. :ols:

I think its moderated just the right amount. Sometimes I think its not heavy-handed enough, actually.

I've gotten in plenty of heated arguments. Some VERY heated, although usually that's because someone else actually is breaking a rule or indulging in general jackassery, rather than partaking in a fair discussion. I've never been banned or even gotten a warning for it, because I follow the rules, and that's all that matters. Its just the nature of sports discussion, it gets heated, even when you're staying rational. Especially since anonymous people on the internet have a very hard time being logical and unemotional, and have an even harder time taking responsibility for their opinions...or even being able to explain them. Sports, for some reason, gives people VERY strong opinions, whether they know what they're talking about or not. I've been guilty of it. But as long as you're open to hearing what the opposing argument is, heated discussions can actually be pretty interesting and informative.

And as long as you stay within the bounds of the rules, which are very specific, moderation is very rarely needed, even between two people who seem to violently disagree.

I find it interesting that you can trash Dan Snyder without punishment, but trash a certain mod, especially when it's that time of the season, I promise you will get banned. But as far as Lavar is concerned, he probably was referring to certain ES posters as opposed to all of ES.

Hahahaha. LOL. You shouldn't get banned for that post....you should get an award! Classic. But seriously, the reason lavar doesn't like this site is because well, frankly, we all hate him.

It doesn't matter what Laverne thinks....

Lol.

If I remember correctly, the mods at the time of lavar leaving were less than kind in their opinions of him and largely sided with Gregg W about lavar being too much of a free lancer and no big loss to the team not to mention the situation with the postons and his contract.

If he read the board at the time, I am sure it hurt his feelings.
