Shhhh don't talk about it...lol
But seriously I'm all for unlocking the thread. I have personally attacked Guido's work habits when it comes to the Saints winning and losing, but I didn't think that was bad. If so, then I apologize

I think the Saints players are probably willing to waive it as long as he rules in their favor.

Just because the dude is doing it with pleasantries and curtsies doesn't mean he ain't doing it at all. If I rape someone but give them flowers and a kiss afterwards. Have I not still raped them? Just because I go about it nicely doesn't mean I've not done it at all. If Beef was banned I personally think Guido should have been too. It's one thing putting across a valid and structured argument. But it has been one stack of assumptions. Delusions and straight conspiracy over and over again. It's insulting to anyone to basic intelligence to read a grown man trying to convince you that The saints are completely innocent in all of this. Roger Goodell isn't a fool as much as many people dislike him give the guy some credit for having basic human intelligence. Why would a man risk his Job, Reputation and possibly his freedom to screw a team for no reason. This has now descended into arguing over semantics and definitions oh well a bounty isn't pay for injury. The league condoned pay for injury in the past. The league didn't condone it. Thy were slow to react to a situation.
A guy who ain't part of our fan base and is on here playing games with people on here over a serious issue is getting treated better than your own fellow fans. That's messed up. Personally I stopped caring because I'm starting to avoid this place. I don't really want to, but seeing true circle of crap spiralling around conversations saints or non saints related that get redirected. It's bloody old and tiresome. This place went through a phase of being really active. Lots of good conversation. Falcons fans discussing and analysing our team for better or worse. Now what is there here really. A couple of topics a week. Some of the best posters don't even bother here now. And someone who yes loses his rag and does not bother with niceties for long but also has one of the best football minds on this board alongside guys like Radical ain't able to access it because the troll with a bowtie isn't even being given so much as a public warning. It's ass about face here at the moment. Do something constructive to fix it.
thank you, plus one

Somehow I missed this one until papachaz quoted it. Excellent post.
It is a Falcons board. By the way, I ignored the aint fan months ago, but despite the managements statement that he can be ignored, it doesn't work. Others quote him, and you can see all his rubbish bs in their threads. It's fucking shameful that the biggest thread in the history of this message board is about the aints, and an aint troll (deny it all that you want, it is exactly what he is) espouses bullshit in it, but when he's called on his bs, the Falcon fans are the ones who get the warnings and time outs.

What I think is shameful is the amount of whining that goes on here.

So you're disagreeing with him?

Our longest thread by far would be about Vick and dogs. But, we weren't around then.
The issue is this, people are complaining about one thread/topic and it having too many posts. The mods consolidated everything and stated that all talk about the bounty must be in that thread. Since it's still an ongoing issue, the thread would continue to grow. One member here believes that it's the biggest issue of the year. To some extent it is.
This place IMO has been moderated very well. What other so called trolls do you guys see around here? None. We deal with them. We've dealt with Guido too. We haven't turned our eyes.
There are plenty of places to talk about the Falcons. We believe that this is the best place on the net for it. We are not the size of larger boards. We don't have 100's of posts a day. Those places exist and they suck. If you feel like we are missing old posters, please invite them here. Nothing stops you from doing so. We aren't blocking access to this place. In fact, you'd be impressed with the amount of traffic we do get just from visitors that don't login. What it will take for them to register, I'm not sure, but this place was started because of a reason to leave the main board and many people came here and called it home.
I personally love this place. I get just enough info I need and move on for the day. Yes, I'd like to see more info and more posts and more members, but blaming one person for that isn't truth. We all are to blame for what happens here.
Us mods will continue to do our best here. We will continue to listen to members and do what we all believe is best for the site as a whole.
By the Fans, for the Fans.
