I'm happy talking football all day long. If you guys want to chat about somethint other than football, we can always IM outside of the Warpath. But I do think this was all taken a bit too seriously over something that was totally harmless.
I blame hess because she's a woman and women mess sh*t up

What was the reason this thread was posted Matty? Is there a particular incident that upset someone recently that brought this issue up, was it just general complaints, or what it something you noticed? Just wondering.

Are you freaking serious? It is a goddamn forum, and is kinda the part of it. Geez, what happened someone's feelings got hurt? Boo hoo, we are adults here, so what if someone hijacks a thread, grow the F up, it is a freaking thread, not the end of the world. I for one think this is just ridiculous.

I think you're overreacting. Matty's not saying you can't have your fun and hijack a thread if that's how you get your jollies. Just go do it in the parking lot.

It's really not that hard. You want to go back and forth with people about off-topic stuff, no problem, do it in the off-topic forum. Not in the locker room.

I can't speak for Matty, but my sense is nobody is mad that locker room threads got hijacked. I suspect Matty is just reminding us all to keep these boards more organized. Talk Redskins in the Locker Room, and talk other stuff in the Parking Lot. No big deal. Nobody's in trouble and nobody is getting SBF'd.

A lot of times the stuff in the locker room gets really stale and there is nothing more to add and that's when the threads get hijacked.
If someone posts a thread saying something like "Joe Gibbs says he'll retire at the end of the season" I doubt it's going to get hijacked right away because that is something worthy of being talked about.
BUT, when there is yet another thread about LaVar or something like that and it goes on for 10 pages, half of which say crap like "lavar is out of shape and overrated," I see no problem having fun with it.

We are talking about a few sentances... or one day of joking around, and this is what the outcome of it is? I think someone is bitter and jealous and doesn't want any of us to have fun because he doesn't have any fun. Misery loves company. Sorry we were enjoying ourselves... I guess we won't anymore.

I'll take the blame. Fine with me. Lesson learned - never tell them you're a woman!

Again, nothing wrong with enjoying yourselves and having fun. Just go exchange one-liners in the parking lot. I don't think that's an unreasonable request at all. I mean how hard is it to switch over to the other forum?

That way, those of us who want to read about 'Skins stuff in the locker room don't have to sift through a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the 'Skins.

It shouldn't even happen in the parking lot, IMO. I see it as very disrespectful. If an OP creates a thread, they usually are trying to elicit thoughts on a stated subject; not someone's random, idiotic thoughts of the day.

I take offense to your "go exchange one-liners in the parking lot".... Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean you get to disrespect me. Personally, I think those kind of comments are a lot more harmful than a few playful jokes.
