Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Real talk: This place's sole reason for existing isn't baseball talk. Quite honestly, there are better places to discuss some of the finer points of the game (The Book blog etc) but they can be pretty dry. Humour has always been a large part of this board's appeal to me and I'm guessing others would echo that sentiment. Banning legitimate posters for an obvious, inoffensive joke seems like a pretty misguided improvement strategy. The guy is one of the best poster here, we should be more tolerant about him.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 The guy is one of the best poster here, we should be more tolerant about him. Ang, I just want you to know that I have grown to like you a lot as a poster as your English got better. It's been a pleasure talking baseball and penises with you. Godspeed.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 The guy is one of the best poster here, we should be more tolerant about him. Agree. Why NJH, and not Spanky. Something stinks.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 lol bans for all who posted in this thread.... oh crap

TheHurl Site Manager Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 A very good choice, based on every stereotype I follow, NJH's dick is much easier to suck than Stroman's.
Chappy Community Moderator Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 A very good choice, based on every stereotype I follow, NJH's dick is much easier to suck than Stroman's. You made this very weird.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Deflection is my top mod skill.
Chappy Community Moderator Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Deflection is my top mod skill. I agree, however the direction of the deflection do raise some interesting questions.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 Deflection is my top mod skill. I agree, however the direction of the deflection do raise some interesting questions. NJH's penis size?
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I agree, however the direction of the deflection do raise some interesting questions. I just look at yours and hurl's avs and know both of you play for the other team
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I don't know NJH that well but he basically dared a mod to ban him so hopefully he took it all in stride. As a symbolic gesture, it's not such a bad idea for mods to throw their weight around but a five day suspension is underserved and bad for the board. Here's a question... Would it really be so bad if the mods played favorites with the ban hammer? If posters are attracting a lot of complaints shouldn't moderators be empowered to deal with the situation however they see fit rather than wait for an arbitrary line to be crossed? This isn't a court of law, no one is entitled to due process. I wouldn't have an issue with a board that bans people based on a subjective evaluation of the general value of their content rather then on isolated incidents. There's no reason to sacrifice the quality of the board for some platonic ideal of fairness.
Howard Roark Verified Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 A very good choice, based on every stereotype I follow, NJH's dick is much easier to suck than Stroman's. it's a wash. Black, so +1, but also short, so -1. His penis most likely falls within the range of average. Someone on twitter needs to request pics, without which all we can do is speculate.

KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Are you a lawyer? Great read No. lol. My father was a judge so I guess it's in my DNA.
Nox Verified Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Anxiously awaiting ECJF's (proclaimed #1 NJH fanboy) to check in with a caps lock tirade.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Are you a lawyer? Great read Even more powerful. A librarian! (at least I think I have the right guy )
eastcoastjaysfan Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 What did I miss? Who banned him?
eastcoastjaysfan Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Its a message board guys. Sometimes I might talk about Rob Ford and Paul Beeston tag teaming your wife but it doesnt mean i actually want them to do it. I thought everyone on this board was cool. Lame. Time to start a new board I guess
Nox Verified Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 What did I miss? Who banned him? http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/4-Around-Baseball/page293 That's all. Nothing leading up to that.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 At least this discussion is a hell of a lot more fun to follow that what's been going on around here the last few days.
eastcoastjaysfan Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 What a bunch of dorks. Thats the dumbest banning ive ever seen
eastcoastjaysfan Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 You see this on pretty much every internet message board. Some e-tough guy acting like a badass but would never do a thing in real life. NJH is fantastic (no homo) and is an asset to this forum.
Slot Machine Verified Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 How long was he banned? 5 days? I do support more active moderation around here but that might be a bit much for that offense.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 As an inhabitant of South America (According to BTS), our regimen of government (Dictatorship) says that "we are not all equal and bla bla bla" ............ I think (3rd world troglodyte idea) some of our poster deserve a slightly different treatment for his major contributions.
mitchf Verified Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ECJF should hold a "how to mod workshop"
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 What a bunch of dorks. Thats the dumbest banning ive ever seen Its harsh. Even spitting on an umpire gets less (a 1 game ejection)
