Recently I've been somewhat harsh towards ski9 and that's perhaps what has me making this thread.

Just for the record, it would be a drag if anything we posted was taken all that seriously. Deadhead is cool and I've been on MB's long enough to appreciate I'm in someone else's house. I should have been clearer that I was bashing all of baseball. I've been connected to the game for so many years and it's sorta like having a spouse cheat on you (a non-baseball fan probably thinks that's the queerest thing, but whatever---I have a couple of ex-wives who were the biggest sl*ts)....

Thank Buddha (or God) for soccer, which is truly the greatest team sport on the planet.

And we move on.

I've met two Azers, should have met a few more but was too busy skiing and didn't make it a point to be hospitable at Abasin, Sorry Snowseek :(

Both Azers I've met have been splendid! Hope they can both say the same.
I remembered another AZer that I've met and skied with, but he posts rarely, and though he has not interacted with me on the board, he did post something negative about me on AZ. I'd be happy to not meet up with him again. :(

Another question connected to the OP:
Do you have a different perception of Admin/moderators, and interact with them differently?

I've never put anyone on ignore, well I did once for like 3 minutes just to test out the feature, but that's it. Of course I think it would be somewhat irresponsible for a moderator to start ignoring users anyway...

It'd put a whole new twist on the Mod/min gig, that's for sure.

Brian, can you put anyone on ignore?
On Epic, the mods/admin can't put anyone on ignore, and no one can put the mods/admin on ignore.

Have you ever tried to put yourself on ignore?
This is the message you get:
Sorry, no matter how much you try, you can not ignore yourself.

Sorry bvibert is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

I have successfully ignored a user just to test it out before though. I just put you on the ignore list actually... ;)

Evidently, we are not allowed to ignore you, but you can ignore us. Hmmmmmm.

Putting me in ignore is probably a smart idea. ;)

The next goal is to bring back the mullet.

I just got back for a couple days in Texas...
It hasn't left there... :)

But then again they aren't "rad" mountain bikers....

Looks like we need to get Greg to fix that. :D

There's no way I'm ever putting you two on ignore. You say enough about me when you know I'm looking. I'd be too scared to think what you're saying knowing that I'm ignoring you. ;)

One interesting thing about my experience on this old interweb thingy is some people I've had heated flame wars with I've become good friends with... :beer:

I was actually involve in flame wars well before the internet on bbs systems in the 80's.. :)
Old school!

And as much of an ass I can be in life - I can also be super kind... On the net and real life... I seriously try to be good now.. Getting older and less concerned with what others think about subjects that i really care about.....
