Do You Think You Would Ever Speak To Me This Way In Real Life? (1 Viewer)

[jamny]

   Lol, it was Rock as I'm reading it. Rock got a whole thread going criticizing and bashing Joe & Co for nothing.

We love ya, @rockaction

 

[Juxtatarot]

Anyways, I want to apologize to Joe for taking out this thread. This should be locked, IMHO.  

Nah, it has a great twist ending.   

 

[rockaction]

you shouldn't talk to him like that.

I was being apologetic; should I talk to him at all?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Very much, Aaron. It's awful. 

This is about right.

Oh, absolutely not.  This thread is a gift and it must be shared for as long as possible. 

 

[rockaction]

I just wanted to make sure my sincerely-held beliefs came through to the community. It's not every day we get to do this...or ged made of fun for a dumb#### mistake

 

[Henry Ford]

This is awkward. 

I don’t think so.  

Oh, for rock? Yeah, I bet he wishes he’d just put this into the existing moderation thread.

I've been there dude. It's called posting too damn much.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

54K. I'm sure at least a handful were not exactly primo postings.

 

[The General]

 

Amazing

 

[rockaction]

I don’t think so.  

Oh, for rock? Yeah, I bet he wishes he’d just put this into the existing moderation thread.  

Yeah, I do. Wish I hadn't happened upon you, Henry. You'll make an idiot seem like an idiot every day. And that's what I am today, an idiot.  

 

[xulf]

Thread of the year IMO.

 

[rockaction]

Thanks, Leroy. That means a lot to me right now.  

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Henry is a smart dude. As they used to say, he has a better idea.

 

[Zegras11]

Yeah, I do. Wish I hadn't happened upon you, Henry. You'll make an idiot seem like an idiot every day. And that's what I am today, an idiot.  

I don't think you should talk to him like that 

 

[rockaction]

I don't think you should talk to him like that 

 

[Soulfly3]

 It was, succinctly, hostile.

it was no dungeons and dragons joke tho...

 

[Henry Ford]

Yeah, I do. Wish I hadn't happened upon you, Henry. You'll make an idiot seem like an idiot every day. And that's what I am today, an idiot.  

No you aren’t.  These things happen.  You have to be able to laugh about it, man.  Please laugh about it.  It’s objectively funny. 

 

[bigbottom]

Did we get an answer as to whether you would speak to you in real life like that?

 

[rockaction]

No you aren’t.  These things happen.  You have to be able to laugh about it, man.  Please laugh about it.  It’s objectively funny. 

It is funny. But, thanks. That's probably the greatest thing that could go my way right now.  

 

[rockaction]

Speaking as a speaker, I guess I should just shut up.  

 

[Zegras11]

No you aren’t.  These things happen.  You have to be able to laugh about it, man.  Please laugh about it.  It’s objectively funny. 

Otter: Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You ####ed up... you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.

Rockflounder has a nice ring to it.






OK Rock, I won't bust your balls again.....  today.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

A mod here about said this?

took time about away from about policing thread title editing?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life son.

Thank God I rarely hit all three.

No, that was me talking about another poster.

A "handful"? This post right here might have more words in it than all but 10 you've ever put down. You have less words per post - though way funnier - than anyone since Zippy.

3.9 words per post.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Rockaction, we're all idiots. I jumped in here several years ago after some time away and immediately asked someone if his job was still going great. He had gotten hacked the day before. If I had read before running my mouth (keyboard?) for twelve seconds, I'd still be an idiot - just not for that.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

TY

That's more like it

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Oh man, just read through the whole thing.

the call was coming from inside the house!

 

[Buckychudd]

Wow, just wow. 

 

[Guest]

I still think Rudnicki should be fired.   

 

[Henry Ford]

This would have been even funnier if it was jon_mx.

No worries GB. All good. 

 

[AAABatteries]

PIN IT

 

[jon_mx]

Someone posted that one of our Congress persons is an idiot and 6 people reported that instantly?

That's.......something   

I would bet the six reporters probably have called people on the other side worst things in the last week.  It is fine if people want to be sensititive to others, but it is the selective hyper-sensititivity that that I don't get.  

 

[Scoresman]

Threads like this are always going to pop up here and Joe’s going to have to keep banginng his head against the wall explaining what he wants this place to be, because what he wants this place to be does not fit the clientele of football guys.com.

Oh I agree

The best thing to do , for me anyway, is to only venture in the PSF when I'm really bored.

And rarely post in there. It's a sewer

 

[northern exposure]

So, rockaction was bullying himself?

 

[jhib]

I think it's the extra "about" that bugs me most of all. If you're going to be an idiot, be a smart idiot.  

 

[Henry Ford]

So, rockaction was bullying himself?

It turns out the extra “about” was inside him all along.  

And that’s the real meaning of Christmas, everyone. 

 

[shuke]

It just seemed especially egregious and petty. Like somebody had a personal problem with me. I'm now bound to a mod's whim, is what I thought. I love this place. I think it's wrong to do that.    

What was the context of the message?

 

[shuke]

Thank you @rockaction

This is the post in question. https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/668316-colin-kaepernick/?page=122&tab=comments#comment-21562939

We try to cut and paste the post that caused the suspension into the "note for member" part of the warning. 

It wasn't a moderator that said "Seriously. Do you ever back away from the keyboard and think about how dumb about what you're about to write is?  "  That was the moderator letting you know what it was you got suspended for.

Our moderators are human and they're far from perfect. But I would be disappointed if a moderator had said that to you.

Wait. 

What a plot twist.  

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I will literally fight everybody who has posted in here at once.

 

[jvdesigns2002]

In and of itself--not a cool way to speak with a contributing member. I might not always agree or like everything you say on here--but you definitely contribute to these boards.  With that said--what was the full "context"?  Doesn't seem like a moderator would randomly send that to you.  What comment/post did you make to generate that less than polite reaction?

Funny that in one of the first posts of the thread I wondered what post elicited the mods response. Never in a thousand years would I have guessed the plot twist that ended up happening here. LMAO.  Awesome stuff rock.   Definitely an epic thread that I needed after a long day of work. Lol 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

although I'm not sure what the grammar police are signaling out.

The too many "abouts".  Although that's really an editing problem, "editing police" just doesn't have the same panache.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Yeah, apparently it was me. It just...was... terribly wrong. 

That's hilarious.  You realise that I will never let you live that down?  That's about twenty years worth of abuse right there.

 

[GregR]

I probably wouldn't have ever spoken to you that way in real life...

                                                                                                                             ... before this thread.
