BruinSkin Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yeah I know it's hard to admit me being right and all, but I don't think it would take Nostradamus to predict this one, fellas. Chances are way overrated. I think Dag Hammarskjold said it best when he said, "It is easy to be nice, even to an enemy - from lack of character."

Chances are way overrated. Overrated, huh? I could let you in on something that'd make you re-think such an asinine statement, but it'd only serve to embarrass you more. It seems like you do a good enough job of embarrassing yourself. While we do encourage self policing from our membership, don't presume to know to much on how the board should, in your opinion, be ran. Extremeskins.com has been here for just over 5 years. We must be doing something right to have lasted this long with the jumps in membership we've occured in that time. If we thought you understood what we were after, we’d make you a mod. Until we do, make sure you don’t confuse yourself with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to put a smiley or two after that, because you have GOT to be joking. If you just implied that the mods here, and Tarhog in particular, is lacking in character then you can find another board's staff to insult.

rayprils Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Originally posted by KevinMac I notice Ray left the $ of the 500! He'll come back and say it's 500 pennies! haha! Good try KevinMac. I'm not into pennies. You'll see me fork out dollars if I lose just like last year, I put my money where my mouth was and paid. In another note, I do appreciate Iheartskins time for posting everyone's bet. Thank you bud. Keep up the good work. As far as everyone else who made their bets, you have my respect. Good luck..... I know we have more members that can contribute to this thread. Let's hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlCB Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Originally posted by rayprils How can we change this thread so, that we can fish for the haters to put up the money when we go to the playoffs?? I need Blade's help on this. We should title this thread as "wanted: cowpuke, iggle and aint fans" and dare them to put up the money. HELP... You can put me down for $25. I seriously doubt that the Deadskins will make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJGibbs-Skin Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'm in - love the idea. Here is my wager: 1 - Because I can't bet against the 'Skins, $500 says they make the playoffs (to be paid in full, in the highly unlikely event they do not, not to ES.com, but in ES.com's name to the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation.) 2 - If -- ahem, when -- the 'Skins do indeed make the playoffs and I am absolved of settling the above wager, then in return for the sheer joy of once again watching a play-off Redskins team under JG, I will donate the same $500 to WRCF plus an additional $500 to ES.com. (So that WRCF wins either way; and ES.com either gets credit for a charitable donation in the first instance, or gets cash to beef up its servers -- which certainly will be hosting many thousands more fans -- in the second instance.)

I think perhaps a better quote would've been "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." Westbrook, HeHate, Tom, I'm looking at you. To call broncology and other trolls an enemy is giving them too much credit. They're mostly just uninformed dolts who deserve to be castrated from this great board of ours. However, all issues aside, I see no use in not acting swift in dealing with potential trolls. Two people I pointed out in the very beginning were CoachParcells and broncology. Their track record speaks for itself. It takes literally 2 posts to determine a troll. Especially if said troll comes to the board, creates a username, and posts a thread within a short amount of time. The problem these guys create is not so much anything harmful, but rather, the pollution of stupidity they contribute to the board (i.e. every post broncology made regarding Sean Taylor and every post CoachParcells has ever made.)

Call me the Swami of Troll BS, if you will. I'd do the same thing today. We start banning folks for what we 'think' they 'might' do, there won't be many who make it to 500 posts. A good friend once told me 'the hardest thing to do sometimes is nothing. We may not be perfect. But we're plenty tough. If/when we need to get tougher, we'll make that decision. But thanks - I usually get that 'you're an overbearing hardass' thing. Being called a wuss is a welcome change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portisizzle Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I was looking this thread up and thinking about some other donation style games we could play this year.

As I remember, I offered to donate my time to help the cause. Anyhow, just thinking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
