Lately it seems like people have been very bitchy here on the board. Let's keep in mind that we all have different opinions at times and nobody is any more right than anyone else.

I've said it before and I think it needs to be said again, loud and clear... personal attacks won't be tolerated on the forum. If you can't have a mature discussion about football you should really consider checking out some of the other Redskins forums on the net. There's plenty of them around, just ask and I'd be glad to point some out.

Last but not least, please [u]respect[/u] the moderators here. If one asks you to stop arguing or advises you to calm down, please take notice. We're trying to make this forum an enjoyable experience for everyone here, if you want to have a bitch session with another member exchange email addresses, phone numbers, whatever, and take it there. Don't even waste our server space by using the PM system.

I'm really getting tired of having to make posts like these and honestly my patience is running thin.

Personal attacks? wow

Re: Please Read
 

Matty, I'll put it like this. I know I didn't help the situation, but if you think I was in the wrong, I'll leave the board.

I think Matty is full of crap! ;)

I think its clear who the instigator was. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Please Read
 

I don't think that inflammatory thread was all bad. Actually, whoever sent that link of the two chicks fighting - that gave me three minutes of amusement in the morning.

If you don't like it then get out. Matty all your hard work is greatly appreciated. The time and effort it must take to run a high quality site like this I am sure is great. If you have to boot a couple of people oh well it will make the quality of the site just that much greater. There are obnoxious fans of every team, lets try to be bigger than that and let those cowgirl fans do it on their site.

Hey. Just read some of that post by formerskinsfan. Sorry to see people blasting each other. I agree with you jdlea that there isn't any reason to hate somebody because they don't like our team. I've got good friends who like the Cowboys, Eagles, etc. Mattyk, I'm also with you. We don't need all the animosity around here. We may not agree on every issue, but we are rooting for the same team. Everybody just needs to chill a little.

BTW, Mattyk, you're doing a heck of a fine job with this sight. Thanks, dude.

Re: Please Read
 

When it doubt, please ignore someone who's being a jerk and move on.

Responding only makes things worse and drags things out.

Like I said, exchange email addresses and take it there. I'm not going to accept this excuse of, "He started it, I'm just defending myself".

C'mon guys, grow up.

Re: Please Read
 

I've been a member here for sometime now & I agree with Matty 100%. Personal attacks are completely unacceptable. If your going to respond to someone with a personal attack you might want to check out another Redskins forum site. NO JOKE!

One of the great things about this site that I have enjoyed has been the friendships I've made with several fellow Warpathers.

Sure we will disagree with someone posts from time to time, that's why we're all here...

Lets try & keep the personal comments out, so no one gets offended.

Well, that's all I got.

Re: Please Read
 

I understand where everybody's coming from, but I'm not going to apologize for anything I said last night. I don't feel like anything I said was particularly bad. I was kinda bent out of shape, so I took some shots, but I held back a lot last night. If that's a problem, I said before, I'll leave the board.

But what if I'm a Toys-R-Us kid and "I don't wanna grow up"?

Being a forum owner and thus mod of my own place I agree 1000% with Mr. K.

Our forum has to be even more careful because we have members from all over the world and what may be funny to we Americans may come across very different to a person from another nation.

I don't post a lot here but I lurk and read everyday.
Thanks for the work guys.

peace

Re: Please Read
 

I don't think anybody is asking for an apology. I think what we're all really asking is for everyone to grow to a level of maturity to where we can ignore personal attacks that DO happen and be the bigger person.

Re: Please Read
 

That I will work on and I would have taken it a lot better if I thought it was a joke or I knew the member that was saying it. I didn't know who he was, couldn't judge his tone, so I got pissed. I shouldn't have done it, but it happened. I already had a bad day and that was probably the last thing I expected to happen for defending someone who was being attacked personally. It got me upset, it shouldn't have, but it did.

Do what I do when I am frustrated, IM Redskins_P or NY_Skinsfan and vent your frustrations to them. I do it all the time and they love it!....don't you guys? :biggthump

Re: Please Read
 

lol, I'll try that next time.

Re: Please Read
 

You can IM me too at MalcolmANDJemima. Daseal, Gmanc and I have a special video we watch when we're upset. Or at least I do.

It makes me realize there are people FAR worse off than us in this world...

Re: Please Read
 

It's really no big deal in my eyes, Jdlea. I was somewhat involved in that nasty discussion, and I saw how that guy was obviously being a jacka$$, and you were just trying to set him straight. I think it's important to express strong opinions in these forums, the strongest opinions make for the liveliest discussions. But that was a guy that obviously couldn't tell the difference between a strong opinion and a personal attack. Next time when someone crosses that line, it's best that we all just ignore it.

It's a subtle line. I've griped at Daseal before when we disagree on the Redskins' future, and he has griped at me. But to be honest, he's my favorite guy on here to have discussions with, because debating is very stimulating to me. But we don't attack each other because we respect one another, and it keeps things cool. That guy you were arguing with obviously had no respect for anybody.

Good job with layin down the law, Matty.

Re: Please Read
 

Wow - we must all be pretty bored right now...

I guess wargaming QB contraversies for hours on end and analyzing whether Joe Biggs has still "got it" has put sand in everyone's cracks.

I suppose we can only be pissed about why McCants cant catch a break and how much we hate Brunnel. And Coles for that matter. And how Ramsey's self-esteem is holding up. And how much of a disaster Mike Williams will be in the NFL. And on and on and on.

No worries - we will be back to normal soon enough when we can start discussing how good everyone looks in camp and projecting how long it will take Carlos Rogers to unseat The Ade from the starting CB position (my prediction is 3 years, by the way).

Go Skins!
Go Matty!
Go Ade!

Re: Please Read
 

I do know how to start a new thread so I'm gonna post this here as an extention of Ade's topics. I must say Ramsey is the most respectable player I've seen in the NFL, He starts under Spurrier, get sacked like crazy, Brunell comes in loses his job, gets it back, then Campbell gets drafted and all he has to say is, if I do my job everything will sort itself out. In todays NFL I find that just amazing. Most guys in this league would be irrate at this, granted he wasn't happy when Brunell came in but he let it go and did his job. I'm very impressed with his attitude and I hope he remains our starter for a long time.

Matty,
Maybe we need to create a forum section here called the 'Bitch-Smack' thread..? LOL

Like my dad would do when 2 kids had an issue, he let them go in the backyard & fight it out until they became friends again.

Man, I just wanna throw a cheap texted-shot!!!! hehehe :smashfrea

Maybe we can do a Warpath Boxing tournament and all the proceeds go to the website?

guys you dont see whats going on?

snyder planted moles in the forum to fight it out so that we forget that he is destroying a once proud franchise.

im onto you snyder :cheeky-sm

Re: Please Read
 

Part of being a true Redskins fan is being passionate about the team. Obviously that means folks are going to be passionate about their opinions. Respect is the key word here gentlemen. I enjoy the banter on this site and hope my opinions do not offend. But if they do to hell with you! Just kidding.

We all have a right to be heard, lets just do it with some class.

Thanks Matty for the reminder.

Re: Please Read
 

We've all got to get indroctinated into the Gibbs program! Show your CHARACTER on the board. Be a core warpather! The whole point of this site is that it's for the intelligent fan. It's not "extreme," and that's why its the best skins board out there. C'mon folks! This is text we're talking about. Try counting to ten before you hit the "post reply" button.

Put-downs don't equal passion. And remember, if you disagree with someone, that doesn't mean they aren't skins fans!

[size=3][b]Can you feel the love on the board today? Isn't it beautiful..:vomit-smi[/b][/size]

Re: Please Read
 

I'm getting the feeling we all feel the same way except for that one guy that Matty banned. So we may be preaching to the choir about being good citizens on the board. Let's get back to football, anybody know anything about these undrafted free agents we just signed?
