Rollcall of the Banned

As so many in the nation seem bent against PSU, maybe we can ill afford to let any solid supporters feel left out in the cold. I think ALL PSU supporters need the support of ALL PSU supporters now.

There seems to be a small subset of people still upset Mike H moved on to higher calling, I don’t think people realize/appreciate the amount of time and effort it takes to run BSD. All that work takes away serious time from God/Family/etc…you really can’t do both well.

I like when Mike chimes in here at BSD and he makes some excellent points but his passion seemed to move on to God/Family…and I respect that more than anyone knows.

Finally – I really like the “new BSD”, tons of info and a one stop shop for great PSU info. Mike/Fugi could not provide the same amount of info currently on this site, if they did they would have no life and dedicate all time here.

Just my thoughts…not that anyone asked.

and great summary. That was my impression of what went down, but is sounds like you were there with boots on the ground.

Would I like to see the bans go away? Yes.

Will I lose any sleep over it? No…I am more concerned with family/job/etc

Not sure what SBN will do about it, cursing out fellow members is probably against the rules. Although I have no idea what the actual rules are on here.

Anyway – done with this topic and out of my hands…I just hope everyone appreciates the amount of work that goes into this site by ALL the staff…I doubt there is very little if any pay and you will never make everyone happy so you are open to criticism.

BTW – Ben Jones was an absolute stud this week.

back in the days of old Mike and before this place went corporate.

…is mildly awesome simply because the idea that BSD went “corporate” exists.

Next thing you know, we’ll move from playing hardcore shows to pop punk on 94.5 PST and Z-100.

FWIW – I don’t see people with differing opinions being banned.

Its when personal attacks and blatant cursing at Mods/other members happens the ban is placed. Again…I think people are way to sensitive on all sides and make differing opinions a “personal attack”, I can care less if people agree/disagree at the end of day…we are all entitled to opinions

BTW – thanks for your service RW…can’t be said enough

Thank you also to the Mod(s) who, I assume, reviewed the situation and are taking appropriate action.

Just kidding dude.

I’m still, aside from this post, sticking to my self-imposed ban…all of our emotions are at an extreme high, and while I debated jumping on here in an attempt to bring some defense, justification, or perspective of my friends who were banned, I decided against it so as not to join #teambanned myself. I haven’t read through all of the threads to see exactly what was said that justified banning in the mods’ minds, but as 84 so eloquently stated above, I believe more discretion was required, especially with those who have been longtime posters on these boards (and thus are obviously not trolls).

Anyway, again, I’m glad you’re back (I’ll see you on twitter), but I doubt I’ll see you on here for a bit.

Fear not, fear not, thou wedding guest!

I “think” the basic rules are no personal attacks, politics, religion, or threats.

Not that I wanted him banned, of course, but he was putting steel on target during the same thread with jtothep and all.

Not that you hadn’t heard before. Good job this week.

I’ve never been banned elsewhere ever.

I think I’ve had enough of exaggeration after the way the media killed Penn State.

That’s the part that is worrisome, HnB. If the standards are arbitrary or vague, discourse can be inhibited. Don’t think that is what the mods or the rest of us want . . .

mine is as well. I apologize if it came off as otherwise.

My favorite of course, is the semi-literate band dweeb that likes to remind us that he is a "Professional Journalist", I’m sorry you haven’t fooled us.

myself and jtot got ours in the thread linked in JuggerNitt’s comment above. I came on today to see some pictures, video and quotes from the game (I was in the stadium, so it was hard to tell what happened during the prayer circle and didn’t see Bradley’s post-game) and saw I wasn’t banned anymore. Not sure about the status of the others.

a brainwashed, mouth breathing, Paterno Zombie – and all these good people got banned telling him that you’re not a Zombie, just a blood sucking lawyer. Since he does a little esquiring on the side too I don’t think he cared for their tone.

Couldn’t have said it any better myself.

I just think others feel the same way:

I’ve taken this scandal especially hard. Penn State has been a huge part of my family throughout my entire life. We’ve built weekends, months, and years around it. We had the diplomas, class rings, and tickets stubs to prove it.

There are a lot of people here that can say that sentence word-for-word, and for them it would also be completely true. I think maybe it’s just more of a general sense that the BSD community feels like using that statement in their defense doesn’t work, but because you have the ability to ban folks, it works for you.

I don’t want to speak for the masses…that’s just how the situation appears to me.

Hopefully we’ll all learn from this.

Welcome back.

Free market baby!

The above comment is made in JEST but come on people…lets move on and agree that OSU is the real enemy and stop whining about an internet feud where there is plenty of blame on all sides.

No point in taking final shots at each other

You were missed here-although of course I was able to find you elsewhere.

Damn right you did!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

/jumping the snark?

Hey, everybody, skarocksoi is paying for the beer!!!

First round on me.

If everyone here was in a room (by room I mean bar) face to face, we’d hash it all out and probably end up buying each other lots of drinks. Tone and sincerity are much harder to miscommunicate in person.

my Yuengling stock was unable to be replenished as I did not make the trip to PA this weekend. :’(
