When, other then this thread, did I do that? Personally, I wish you weren't banned but that's your problem and your problem only that you are. Don't overreact to a gentle joke. They'll probably let you back in before the season starts anyway. You're not really missing much as it is right now.

You reported my welson thread that got deleted. Good job.

I did not. A mod even verified that I didn't.

Scoot said you report almost anything teetering on the edge.

U know that all mods get an email when u report right?

Good way to get banned or get the report feature revoked from ur account.

Started on the BBC politics board around 1999. Joined CBMB around 2004. Still post on another board but less and less. Mostly here now. This place takes enough of my time as it is.

Then I will take that as a sign that you believe me and will stop harassing me about it.

Or what? You going to report him?

I think I have been very tolerant up to this point. My tolerance has reached its breaking point. I am sick and tired of being this board's whipping boy and the butt of almost every joke.

I know I've posted some idiotic stuff here. We all have. Sometimes I comment on the idiotic stuff, but mostly I let it slide. Can't you people do the same for me? It sure seems like I get the brunt of certain peoples' vitriol.

I have a lot of shit going on in my life right now as I am sure the rest of you do. This was one of the few places I could go to as a diversion. I come to this message board to talk to you about the Sox and other things.

I went to two high schools. In my first high school, there was a bunch of boys in my class who made my school life a living hell for most of the two years I was there. One day, the alpha male of this group pushed me too far and I punched him. Now I feel like I'm back in high school and again there is a group of people (you know who you are) who get off on belittling others.

I actually feel sorry for you guys. Are your lives that insignificant that you have to pound on others to feel better about yourselves? Come on.

Anyway, that's it. I've said my piece.

It actually was Rush's idea. He said typing "disliked" into a reply or PM was the same thing as actually disliking someone with the rep system.

Incorrect.

Hitting a button doesn't do more justice than actually conveying that negative thought. Big difference.

joined cbmb in late 2004 because I was living in NM and sick of talking about the Broncos, Cowboys, and/or Eagles, and having people bring up the thanksgiving game whenever I said I was a bears fan. then rush invited me here, and then nvan started that epic thread about vash

I started on a computer forum in about 2000, then cbmb in 2004/5 because I couldn't get Bears games in Taiwan, so followed them there and on NFL's crappy flash update thingy.



Vitriol is a good, strong word. I shall name my new chariot Vitriolus.

Did he also mention that your dog is still alive and well, living on a beautiful farm upstate? Because that sweet dog is definitely not dead.

Almost 25 years now...starting out with getting the Prodigy service in early 1991. I think my absolute first messages were simple DOS questions (I didn't have windows on my PC) and questions about:

http://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-content/images/madmaze/madmaze_title_large.jpg

Which led me to this:

http://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-content/images/prodigy_xmas/prodigy_5_large.jpg

I started regularly posting in a BB (bulletin board) known as "Wit's End". We touted it as Cyber Cheers. Not much different in spirit from this forum known as The Bar, but with no YouTube, GIFs or cursing. Any old timers remember it?

Upon research of this post...I have realized that Mad Maze has been resurrected.

(never gonna get that monkey off my back)

EDIT: Links instead of JPEGS because, over two decades later, Prodigy still sucks.

I lived in deep southern Illinois, where there are nothing but Titans fans and Rams fans. A friend told me about it back in 2005 or 2006. Started posting and had a really good time so I stuck around. Haven't really posted as much since moving over here.
