TC4 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Yes, even thought Joe Stalin has been dead since 1953, it is indeed nice to see that some people in the world still believe in his legacy, most notably, the folks over at the Cowboys.net message board. I am a member there, mostly because as we all know, when it comes to knowledge, most Cowboys fans have about as much of that as well, cows. So I go over from time to time to correct their lack of knowledge because they sure do need it. I had as my avatar over there, an avatar taken from the best message board, let alone best website on the net, our own ExtremeSkins.com. It was this one........... :dallasuck It made a wonderful avatar, as it showed up bigger there than it did on here, so that all the people who posted there could see. But alas, I got on one day to see that my avatar had been changed to that gay ass Cowboys mascot with that oversized hat and crap. Undetered, I simply added that avatar to my sig line. Well, I get on again to find that my sig line now has been made so that nothing will show in it. I also got a private message about this from someone calling themselves "TooHostile" with the subject Your Signature line: "...privileges have been disabled." Thus, I couldn't just let that slide so I replyed with this: "And just why might that be?" To which I got this back: "Oh please. Take a guess. You think I could create a persona on extremeskins and have that stuff in my sig line? Flame wars and troll like like behavior will not fly here. Period. Peace. TH" Flaming? Trolling? Me? Well, yeah that is true, if you call correcting and giving correct information to the many incorrect things that they board over there flaming and trolling. But remember that they are Cowboys fans, so we must forgive their constent lack of knowledge :laugh: Any ideas on how to respond to this? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 In their defense, the reason Stalin and his ilk are evil and destructive is because they used the force of arms and coercive power of government to create such an atmosphere.

Skeletor The Invincible Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Oh. Oh. Oh Right. I knew that. I was just joking around. And it is. Russians sent to fight in the front with little or no arms had this sort of speech fed out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Let me add this... I'd rather you not encourage other members to troll another team's board. Ultimately, it leads to their members coming here and registering and trolling. And we've got better things to do than increase our workload 10x more than it is. Please allow the admins and mods a bit off an offseason. Or better yet, don't give us any more work than we already have. We'd really appreciate it.

Art Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 You received wrong information. A Cowboy fan with a similar .gif would not have had any undo attention given such an expression.

Art Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 EB, Your penance was due to the content of your posts and was imposed upon you on merit. No fan of an opposing team has ever been altered here for a simple demonstration of dislike for the Redskins or boosting up his own team. Trust me, Extremeskins.com has a whole lot more fans of opposing teams than Cowboys.net does. Regular fans who post here MORE than they do on their own home team boards. You won't win a p!ssing match with this site on most any grounds. Certainly not on being receptive to fans from other teams. We might give those who deserve it a little business. But, the key turn of phrase there is those who deserve it. Like you. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Art I never went over to theCowboy.net and flamed or trolled like that private message at the start of this thread claims. All I did was disagree with some of the things that some of the posters over there said, or I corrected them. I admit that I did use our "Dallas Sucks" smiley, 1st as my avatar and, when that got changed, for my sig line. But over there, any disagreement with their "party line", that the Cowboys will always finish 13-3 and contend for the Super Bowl, and that they are "God's gift" to the NFL, is not tolrerated. Thus, my comparison to Stalinism. WE all know here at ExtremeSkins that whenever someone gets the "assjester" avatar, it is because they have done something to deserve it.

Henry Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I'm not a big fan of defending Cowboy fans, but I've been posting over there for years, had some pretty heated discussions, and never had my priviledges revoked in any way. Just show those guys the respect we expect from them over here and you shouldn't have any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Om Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 This is so effing stupid. "Tone" and respect work both ways ... it is not a board's job to adapt to the user, it's the user's job to adapt to the board. For the record, I have had any number of fairly "direct" conversations with any number of posters on that site, and never had a single "problem" with the people running it. It's really not that hard to try to work with the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no contempt for you, other than the generic pity one feels for the less blessed. Perhaps your behavior of expressing one way contempt while I was not even in the country might have been the cause of your downfall. Meaning, such is your obvious obsession with me that even when I'm OUT OF THE COUNTRY you run to the board here to spout off about me. Do you realize just how remarkably pathetic that seems? I'm on a boat in the middle of the Carribean. I've not posted for days. And you run here to say I suck. I don't pretend to think you KNEW I was gone. I just find it amusing that nothing I said at that time could have set you off. You simply have a festering rage when it comes to me based on your early whippings in debates right up to your last, marvelous, glaring, painful position that the CBA states certain players must be cut. Perhaps when Blade or Die Hard or Om or Buddha decided to give you your avatar it due to the recognition of the troubling mental state you appear to be in. And, certainly, looking to settle months or year old scores after licking your wounds and returning with a grunt of bravado might have played better with the other admins had I actually be in country at the time. I don't know. I had nothing to do with your icon. I can say this, though. SINCE I discovered you've had it, you've pointedly said I did it to you as a way to make yourself feel better. Like, "Art sucks," really got to me so I had to punish you. Even though you KNOW and knew when you've said it that I wasn't even in the country at the time. You admitted to this false statement which was surprising from you. I'm just sure your actions SINCE having the icon have made it almost a permanent fixture for you. But, what do I know. I had nothing to do with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that hard to try to work with the room. I admit, I've had conversations over there. I even understand periodically those past visits inspire threads of comment about me which I'm sure I'll be pointed to when I head back over later in the summer. Other than bringing about several hangers on who are out to get me, I've had no issues with the admins there either. However, if true that a .gif as harmless as the one TC is pointing to got his profile edited, then the room there is far harder to work than the one here. We shouldn't pretend otherwise.

Om Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Honestly, I suspect it was more than just the silly sig involved here, Art. Like with most things, there's usually a little bit more to the story than initially meets the eye. Still, even if not I suspect we might at least have something to say about it if another team's fan showed up here tomorrow with a "Skins Suck" type pic in his sig line, and started throwing his weight around. I haven't caught enough of TC4's posts over there to speak knowledgeably about this, though ... nor do I feel particularly motivated to defend a message board crawling with those people ... so perhaps we should simply all agree that the Cowboys suck and be done with it.
