OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

QuotePosting here is a privilege.

Ho.  Lee.  Shit.

Quoteyou seem to be mistaken about the nature of the site.

it IS private. It's privately owned, by Al. He chooses to allow it to be accessed relatively publicly.

We're happy to hear from people with a different POV, if they can support their assertions. That's usually the problem — they can't, and Soriano ends up being "mentally weak", and Bradley is "a problem".

QuoteI'm a big fan of the phrase

"you reap what you sow". I give every poster a chance. I have my buttons, tho, and he's hit them.

QuoteHonestly, I don't think someone should be posting opinions they can't support.

This leads us back to why BCB is not a message board.

It goes on like this...
"So, this old man comes over to us and starts ragging on us to get down from there and really not being mean. Well, being a drunk gnome, I started yelling at teh guy... like really loudly."

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

He keeps posting his rules under the guise of their being a lot of new members, when the same 12 douches do all of the posting.

Just didn't think it went well with the whole impersonation of "Tank" thing... but as you wish.

Can I pick some choice lines:

QuoteThere is no "right" to post on BCB. The first amendment does not apply here.

QuotePeople have the ability to register here easily. SBN and Al give them the privilege of posting here.

But it is not a right.

Al gives this to you, so you best enjoy it, son!!!

QuoteI'm a big fan of the phrase
"you reap what you sow". I give every poster a chance. I have my buttons, tho, and he's hit them.

Wouldn't a chance imply one post, at least?

Quoteim not trying to push anyone's buttons
but you've basically confirmed (along with Madison) everything I was saying. There's a circle of about ten of you who seem to think the only legitimate views are ones expressed by yourself, Al, or the other 10 regulars. Anyone else posting is abusing a "privilege" and think Al should "deal with him [or her]"

That, in a nutshell, is 90% of whats wrong with this site.

Fight the power, Orval.

Wait til Dad finds out...

Quoteah, yes.
belligerence towards the owner of the site is always going to get you points.

This is good...

QuoteJust Relax.
Sorry but the administrators of this site have to chill. When you open your site to be engaged by...the entire world, you don't get to decide what it is, what it isn't, what it should be used for. "We" do. You don't like what people are saying, what people are using it for? Change the moderation settings, disable comments, take the site down...but enough with these wrist slaps every time there's a post you don't like. welcome to the internet.

I'm sorry, this one pisses me off the most.

QuoteWell...
The reason you wouldn't is because you were raised right or trained to do otherwise.

The host of this site has chosen to try to educate people on how to use this site and others have elected to assist in the education to make this a good place to visit.

Each of these people is working to eliminate the message board mentality and make others aware that type of site usage is not appropriate or welcome.

Either you're trolling for reaction or are encouraging people to ignore the polite requests of the host.

God damn, someone needs to bring Al back down to Earth.

Orval needs to learn how to google "Cubs forum" and find another one.

While he's at it...
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

I can't read Chinese, but I think that's the Mandarin language version of "Cubs By The Numbers" created, researched and written by the Chairman Al Ze Dong himself.

I love that "message board mentality" is a dirty word there.

They're on a mission to stamp out runaway decency in the West.

I'd vote for this.

If voting weren't totally gay.
