It's the start of The TSM Civil War. I can feel it, I love it. Soon enough this will be 2 boards...

Heh, I want to see some league leaders in things like average, home runs, RBIs, stolen bases, wins, ERA, saves.... Maybe have an MVP and Cy Young in each league

For anyone just tuning in you haven't missed much, he states that it's hard to build momentum airing on FSN at 4 pm on Fridays but it's better then no TV. He stated he wants to help the young guys and see the company succeed for them. He tells a story about how over the Rock and Roll Express were and that hundreds of fans were lined up outside a restaurant to get thier autograph and he wants to get TNA's young guys to that level. He actually mentions CM Punk in passing as someone he's really high on, and then briefly mentions how sad it was for Chris Candido to die after overcoming his demons. Now theyre at break.

No, I really don't care if you're banned or not. In the other folder I clarified I didn't want to see anyone banned when people were throwing your name around as a possible banning. But because you directly and crudely insulted me instead of arguing the merits of the banning I was a little chapped about it and just said "screw it".

Well, no shock there. They really let it slip away in the second half. I really hope Jamison's ok and that his knee is better by Tuesday but I have a bad feeling about it. Well, they were down 0-2 to Chicago before coming back, so I'm not giving up hope yet. Remember they played the Heat all 4 times back in the first month of the season. So hopefully now they're familiar with their style of play and can make some adjustments in game 2...

TITO ORTIZ TO GUEST ON BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW NEXT FRIDAY, 5/13 TNAwrestling.com has learned that no holds barred superstar and former UFC champion Tito Ortiz will appear next Friday, May 13 on FSN's Best Damn Sports Show Period, just hours before he steps in the ring at Hard Justice. Ortiz will talk with Chris Rose and the Best Damn Sports Show crew about movies, fighting and his role as special referee at Hard Justice on Sunday, May 15 in the NWA World Heavyweight Title match between Jeff Jarrett and AJ Styles. Earlier that afternoon, Ortiz will appear on Impact in a pre-recorded interview to discuss his thoughts on his future in fighting, as well as comments on Jarrett and Styles heading into the big bout that Sunday.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSS! What a nice run. That inbound pass down to Arenas was sweet. We're down 2. Like I said, keep it close because the Wiz win close games...

Oh good lord, now UFC is going to bring him back...is Wes Simms busy?

I don't It almost seems unfair that they can sit Shaq and then just sub Mourning in there. Well, we're within 8, shooting 22% and Shaq has 2 fouls. Make of that what you will...

Wiz/Heat are on now on ABC in case you forgot, I nearly did!!!

Well, at least I'm over .500... is it possible to see individual stats? League leaders and such?

Man, I must just not have it. I was KIDDING, it was an ironic comment. It's like when KKK says "a certain cable news channel that's always fair and balanced".... God, forget it, maybe I'M the terrible one. Fuck it, I'm not posting in here anymore. I'll still be in Sports and maybe TNA...

I take back my former position, RobotJerk. Ban this guy, he's terrible, and he flamed me for no reason in CE... EDIT: Forget it, I don't care, I'm removing myself from the situation and not posting in that folder anymore...

Maybe if you email Mike and ask real nice, he'll let you suck his dick in person. (Like you said..."If you can't take the heat...") Nice use of the Nazi comparison. I know you didn't mean it literally, but that didn't stop anyone from jumping my ass for 3 days the only time I ever did it. Mike was a stubborn jackass who couldn't back down even after he was proven wrong, which people have done to him on multiple occasions. I'm not saying he was wrong 100% of the time, but if anyone was bringing this folder down, it was him. He didn't offer any interesting perspectives, just the same Republican Party propaganda you get from the talking heads on TV. I'm sick of you guys defending him, and then acting like his personal security force anytime someone attacks him back. This folder will be a lot better without his stupid ass flaming people for three days when they have the nerve to point out one of his many, many factual inaccuracies. He started more pointless flame-wars here than anyone else. He couldn't follow the rules, so fuck him. Good riddance. Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it was an ironic analogy mostly to make fun of your terrible analogy which you DID take very seriously. I'll have you know that you are a FAR more terrible poster then Mike, and I was going to leave you alone but since you decided to start shit, I will be more then happy to support your banning.

Oh, fuck you. You want to talk about a worthless poster? This guy takes the cake. I'm not afraid to stand up to him either because he has "tenure" because I likely have just as much if not more. You ask people if they have a life? All I ever see you do is go around insulting people or calling on people to be banned like it's the height of your day. If this is all beneath you, stay the fuck out of it.

One last point (OMG TRIPLE POST~!) I'm a big TNA shill in the TNA folder, who likes to get positive discussion generated there. Mike constantly would come in and offer up a negative view point, one that I usually disagreed with. And I didn't have a problem with it and certainly didn't whine for his banning. I realised it offers up another view point and generates discussion allowing both sides to be heard. Goodnight.

Anyway, I've made my point, as have others. What's done is done (unless the mods overturn it). I'm getting a headache and it's late. It's not like I'm the guy's attorney or something...

My point is "Poster A" could be a TERRIBLE poster but since he limits himself to stupidity in HD and doesn't ever try to have important discussion about relevant issues, he doesn't open himself up to the possibility of an argument getting heated and doesn't risk banning. Poster B (or Mike in this case) is mostly in CE constantly challenging, presenting his own ideas and arguing things out, this leads to confrontation and makes him a victim of a banning even though as a poster in terms of intelligence, discussion, relevance, etc. he's a better poster then "Poster A". That's not right.

I put in "Cult Of Death" for a google image search recently and most of the pictures come up of Muslims with guns or suicide straps and such. It's not an original thought. If you had a problem with it, challenge him on it. Just because it made you uncomfortable doesn't mean there might not be some truth to it...

No offense, but if you can't take the heat... I don't see how "he generated long back and forth discussion" is grounds for banning.

It's just the point I'm trying to make is this place is almost split into 2 different worlds. A poster could post primarily in NHB with threads like "I'm really fucked up right now. Discuss." and other useless ridiculousness that is just meant for laughs and stupidity. By posting like this you don't open yourself up to this problem. By posting in CE, you're challenging peoples view points and defending your own, that leads to confrontation. That's why I think it's a little unfair and that CE should be modded seperately. If the excuse is that he ventured into the Movies folder, that should have been dealt with a year ago not now so arbitrarily...

There are MUCH worse posters who simply don't go into CE. See, that's the thing. Mike was intelligent and very opinionated and often posted in CE which gravitates towards argument and sometimes flaming. There are many posters here who just chill in places like NHB and never post anything interesting enough to get them to that point of argument. Doesn't mean they should be banned for it but I certainly don't see how they should be equated on the same level.

you quoted me before my Fraudian slip of RobotJerk was edited to LooneyTune!

LooneyTunes was banned too...which is annoying because it will probably hold up the already stalled all time baseball league. I take the opposite approach. Why so many bannings? Shouldn't banning be an absolute last resort?

I don't understand why "this past week" has brought this on either. It really has been a normal week in CE, and the concensus was RobotJerk with his insistence on making ridiculous Nazi analogies was more to blame for any flaming (not that I want to see him banned either. "If I were a mod" bans would be very rare and used only in the most extreme of circumstances, otherwise it's a discussion board. If someone's being an idiot let others tell him so. It should be self-policing)...
