i bet some of these posts come from smokey rooms...

I don't really like posting on the computer after visiting a smokey room. I don't know why, but that's just me.

I will personally tell anyone that listens to be cool and let you say what you need to say..
i will not say anything hostile to you..

come on... you going to carry this grudge forever?

oh and...
I'm not cool enough for TGR...

I've already said what I need to say here.

You guys have mentioned maturity several times when discussing GSS. Kind of immature to take cheap shots at Andy's site, don't you think?

Perhaps you're right.

The site is definitely not all about AZ either. There have been some great political discussions, as well as ski talk, and other various discussions. Sure it could use some additional activity/members, but hopefully that will come with time. Personally, I like the unmoderated aproach, but anything beats an EXTREMELY subjective moderating policy. GSS was banned for making a poltitical comment in a political thread! Even if you want to argue that thread wasn't political, there are political discussions and comments on here all the time! Just last week there was a discussion about Les Otten running for governor. It sounds like Greg and the other moderators can say f**k, but Andy cannot. I could give several other examples as well. Different rules clearly apply to the AZ inner circle. I prefer an unmoderated approach, but consistency is key if you do choose to have moderated site.

I gotta stop getting sucked into explaining myself, cuz no matter what I'm still the bad guy, but:

(1) GSS was not banned solely for his final comment. In fact, it wasn't even the opinion that he was trying present, but rather his tastelessness in using a thread where people were describing their feeling about the event, and in a way minimizing what the thread was supposed to be. He probably didn't even know he was on a "one more chance" leash. Actually, he should have because he received a lot of "final warnings". Eventually, we have to follow through, or we look like chumps, just like we do if we don't try to defend ourselves when the anti-establishment/overmoderation crowd gets fired up.

(2) I don't remember scolding Andy for using the F-bomb. Not saying it didn't happen, but I'm not about to look through all my PMs to confirm or deny. The bottom line is we've let numerous curses slide, and not just by me or the mods. I don't make a habit of it, and I threw some in here to emphasize my disappointment with those who like to bring up the GSS thing. Anyway, I apparently need to be more careful, or you guys will jump right on it to toot the subjective overmoderation horn.

(3) I would argue there is less of an inner circle, and more of a smaller "outer circle".

All that's been discussed in the moderator forum are the reported posts on this subject, but I won't say who reported posts, you know who you are.

i totally hit that button - you know it... It's my zipper line to greg...

So how do you generally discuss issues that effect the board if not on the board..?

the decision to ban GSS wasn't public...

 

[dmc]

I've already said what I need to say here.

[dmc]

Perhaps you're right.

I've been f'ing with people in the internet for a long time.. he's just one of many that have helped me pass the time until ski season beings...

You give yourself to much credit "oh, great one".

 

[RootDKJ]

I agree with dmc's disagreement. I don't think Greg's a bad guy...but who cares what I think?

 

[dmc]

[Glenn]

At least we do it in public... And not in smokey rooms...

Yeah! Like creating a forum that only members have access to. No one would do that! Or post anything about Sundown in a forum like that...... Open and honest right?


:wink:

Nobody posts in the private forum... anything anybody heard was in public..
For real...

Otherwise - how did Brian read it?

People really click those things? I figured they were there for posterity sake, like nipples on a man.

This is the last straw. I have had it. I am leaving this lame ass's ass thread.

 

[Trekchick]

Everybody is welcome. Thank you very much. The knockout punch.

This from Page 18
Where is it now?

And you guys think GSS acts childish?!?!?

i'm done with this game... Can't contribute when I'm being dogged...

DMC, this also from page 18.......
You obviously can't be trusted at your word.


To all who think AZ is lame and the other site is so amazing........no one is stopping you from leaving here.
I'm inclined to ask.......If I promise to miss you, will you go away?
