Guys, why is the board so toxic?

You returned.

You returned.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

That's what my guy says

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Did you not wish for any cops to die or hail your favorite cop killer as a hero while I was gone?

Someone (who shall for right now be unnamed) owes me $20 as I made a bet with them via DM that this would be your response. You are so predictable. A broken record repeats itself less frequently.

RR, I usually like your posts. Question for you.Where is the best Gym shoe sandwich at?

You have a certain levity to the way you post and interact here that LTG lacks. You have incredible tact in comparison, and you are much more highly respected even by people who do not share your political views or personal experiences. To me it is like the difference between IMU and Joe Orr.

I'd never heard of the thing until Chicago's Best talked about them 5-6 years ago. I've never had one, I've cut ridiculously overstuffed food out of my diet. Call it a concession to age.

I come here to laugh and patriot about sports. And be a sore winner less often than I'd like. And frankly if it can be light hearted or better yet, the occasional meeting of the minds in politics, great.

I've developed very good friendships with a number of people still here, those running the board, and some who've sadly left.

I realized that I've been overly harsh, if not overstepping the bounds of civility to some I've otherwise thought very highly of, and in the process making this board toxic for myself and some others. For that I sincerely apologize. I wish Antarctica hadn't self imploded again but beyond that there are some that as I said earlier, offer nothing beyond bigotry and vitriol of a young, narrow kid. But others, I'm going to continue trying real hard to ignore them, even in 100% sports threads.

I suspect LTG feels generally the same way, but we have differing boiling points and triggers.

I am still am experimenting with food even at my age. The version I tried was italian beef,corned beef and gyro meat, soo good. I just had a wild boar burger a month or so ago, real tasty burger.

Not vociferous enough.

The only left leaning posters that come immediately to mind are RR, Nas, LTG, GoldenJet, CH, Tall Midget, and B-Mac (presently banished to the shadow realm). The rest are center or right leaning. Feel free to provide your own list.

Guys, why is the board so toxic? Who is creating all of this drawn out, repeated acrimony across multiple threads that might make people not want to come around anymore? .

Antarctica was an interesting poster who had good stories and was witty. He liked to go over the top with rhetoric, but I really don't see how he's worse than Reader or LTG. It's Crest's board though, and he has prior relationships with some of these guys.

I will say Nas and IMU have been complete fucking backstabbing losers during this, which isn't surprising. If you personally know someone, but come here to trash them you have zero class.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I really dislike that I am back to having LTG on ignore. I hate having anyone on there. I typically never us that function - but he is just unbearable, and that's that. I got nothing but high cortisol levels from reading so many of his acerbic and unwavering ruminations, and, even when he is posting to someone else, just seeing the way he just blatantly disrespects his conversation partner almost makes my stomach churn.

I also have one person on ignore. Never confuse he with Reader. There aren’t even words to bother with that differentiation. Reader is a guy you get to know. You share things. You know his real name from a PM and never tell another soul.

The right and the left are nearly identical to me right now. I couldn't tell which side was doing what in Kenosha

Serious question for Hawk.

In your heart of hearts, do you believe that you could have done better with the VC than John McCain did based on how thin skinned you are here?

I get ignoring it on some level but I also understand that ignoring only feeds the beast with the WFR's, JLN's, and Hawk's of the world. Chas too though admittedly he doesn't post as often these days. Nas tried it with all 3 of them and was as civil as a guy could get under the circumstances with all 3 and it didn't mean a damn thing to them.

JLN still referred to him as a POS and questioned why he was allowed to run the board.

WFR repeatedly chased him around the board even as it was obvious that he was trying to ignore his sorry ass and it meant nothing. He is still referencing him even after its obvious that he has taken a break from here.

Its what it is I guess. There are many people that I actually enjoy(ed) discussing things with on here but that particular group and those that enable them aren't among them. Apparently I'm not alone either as MANY of the people defecting felt exactly the same way.

Just my opinion, but The Hawk gets treated like dogshit here and in a very offensive manner just because he speaks his honest mind and then also stands up for himself.

He always gives you a window into his soul when people ask him about his motivations, etc.

What more do you want from him, for him to slit his fucking wrists and publicly bleed-out just so his detractors can take their victory lap?
