Numbers are down there, but RO is still posting! I think he wants to go down with the ship like a true captain! That's his choice - I pushed my way to the lifeboats, with a shawl wrapped around my head.

See this is what I mean. This is not a well reasoned response, it is nonsense, I could not even begin to guess what you are trying to communicate with this message. Take the advice for what it is, advice. Ignore it if you wish, I have no particular stake in this, was just attempting to help you. You can stick to patting MH on the back lol. I'm here to talk football. Awesome....That will be a refreshing change.

It might not be your particular point of view people do not like but the way in which you construct the message. Don't over-analyze it...he's just a jerk. Don't do it my friend. A little deference can often bring out the better angels in all of us....or maybe a little good natured ribbing....... Either way..........

I probably didn't make myself clear the first time, but I don't give a damn about what you think. But have yourself a great day. Before you go, does this place have an ignore feature yet? No, but most human beings have one. Concise and right to the point.

Here's a thought. I'm all for disagreeing with another poster, even believing another poster has no discernible football insight is fine. But simply posting contrarian comments doesn't add anything. It's my hope that each of us try to add some value with our input and while I may not think another poster brings all that much to the table in terms of football knowledge and insight, I can't think of one good reason why I would insist on personally insulting another poster by stating it. Just nip it in the bud. The history speaks for itself. You know it, we all know it. Expecting different results on a new forum is not prudent.

"I will try to be more humble and not expose your ignorance of the game of football. No promises." "-1." "You can stick to patting MH on the back lol. I'm here to talk football."

I’m not sure I’m getting your point. Not that it has anything to do with this situation, but that poster’s comments were addressed in a similar fashion. Whataboutism is not only weak, it’s largely irrelevant.

MH does a good job handling himself well and I don't think he needs anymore back rubs since jmike is taking care of that.

I wasn't going to say anything, and Sarc: let me know if I'm out of line here; but it's this kind of bickering back and forth BS between elidamanning and bronx that was rampant on the old board from dozens of posters and I for one would like it kept out of here.
I'm not interested in who started it and "fairness"....it would be nice for this place to be kept a cool hang to talk about the Giants, and other stuff. That's how it started out for the last few weeks.

This isn't going to work. You have to stop this. It seems you're just seeing how far you can push before we act. I don't think you're serious at all actually about coming here and being civil and talking about our team. We have scores of posters from the old boards who have come here and all of them get what we want to be here....except you. And that includes some posters that tend to agree with you on our team. Everyone gets it but you. You are literally the only one. I want you to feel welcome here but jeez.........

I do ask that folks stay out of it (basic internet troll rules) to keep the water from getting muddied. And while banning and trips to the thinking chair seem childish to me, they are certainly much less so than a grownup's inability to manage his/her behavior. Growing pains at the start are natural. I think it took 18 years or so for my wife to start liking me.

I haven't but I appreciate your vigilance and will review all posts you reported. Thank you. "Trolling" doesn't bother me. It can be fun to deal with. Unpleasant, personal posts directed at other posters do.

Yes I agree. Like this personal attack which you condoned:
Jun 6, 2018 15:29:00 GMT -4 jmike said:
No, but most human beings have one.
Or how about this:
Jun 7, 2018 1:50:32 GMT -4 Bronxpinstripes said:
Don't over-analyze it...he's just a jerk.

Sorry, how was what I said insulting? It was a simple statement of fact? Are facts now personal attacks?

With regard to the second one I did ask that poster to refrain from getting involved and from attacking you personally. This is tempest in a teapot stuff. Let's drop it and focus on football.

I for one appreciate the over abundance of sarcasm.
It keeps me on my toes trying to figure out whether or not he’s being serious when he chooses to be so.
