It is good to be back on Crazietalk! Thanks to CB&B for the reminder that bans from OY do not apply here.
I know many of you saw my, um, controversial response to a post from a certain moderator OY. I've seen the comments here and there of support (mostly) and a few of disgust. I do not regret a word of what was said. Was it a bit childish? Sure. I laughed. I also wanted to be sure to get my money's worth on what I thought would surely be my final post.
I have had beef with said moderator for a couple of years. Not due to his arrogance, and certainly not his politics.
A few years ago during the NBA Mock Draft, he made a rule that anyone who was late with their pick and held up the draft would get an infraction. Fair enough. When my time came to pick, I was driving to the hospital an hour from home to visit my father who had a medical emergency. At this point I had already received an infraction (didn't care) and made a post apologizing about delaying the draft and briefly explaining the situation. Said moderator replied with a bullshit "rules are rules" response then encouraged others to flame me. I received no flames, but several sporks in support and condemning his actions. Now, I could care less about sporks. I care about a lot of things, but internet clout is NOT one of them. What bothered me was the way he so heartlessly handled the situation.
The post I responded to was just one of several snarky comments over the years from him. What he said was very insensitive, and if someone from the other side of the political spectrum were to make a similar kind of generalization about the other side they would surely be punished. As a moderator, that was beyond wrong. I could no longer hold back.
TLDR; fuck him.
CNC - I saw your comment. I would like to publicly apologize for being a dick to you. I hope we can learn to agree to disagree and move on from the petty things. Believe it or not, I'm not as conservative or "far right" as I may seem in my posts. I'm actually more of a libertarian (small L!) with some conservative leanings. We probably have a lot in common. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to discuss anything privately.
And for all my haters, my ban is temporary. I'll be back at 10:00 pm EST tomorrow night
