That's just a fundamental disagreement that we have then Ken. My view on moderating is for less secrecy, less behind the scenes stuff. Obviously certain things need to be kept to PMs, but I like to keep more things public.

On the old boards, there used to be this aura of ZOMG THE MODS ARE HERE from time to time. I didn't like that. We're just regular folks that happen to have more buttons to click on. I'm no more special than anyone else.

That's just my take.

I doubt he'll play because Pierre Maguiere said he was hurt, which is why he did didly squat until OT.

There is a lot of banter between the mods, especially now after recent happenings.

Unfortunately we can't go back and erase the past, and in highly emotional situations things can happen that are regretted later. Each of us is entitled to our own opinion, and rightfully so.

Now that the event has passed and cooler heads are among us, the mods will be in constant contact over recent happenings, and I hope resolution can come soon.

For now, please be patient as we continue our discussions.

I'll feel better when I see Schony. Then I'll know everything is behind us.

you want to see tension, go to the Team USA page on facebook and read what a lot of Canadian trolls are writing. Some messed up shit!

I think we can solve this by giving each mod/member a hockey stick and proceding to a three round shootout.

If the score is tied at the end of three rounds, the shootout will proceed to a sudden death format.

Poor form on the part of several of you to jump all over one of our regular (and importantly selfless moderator) members yesterday.

You can look at the situation from several viewpoints. I will not argue some of these.

I will argue this at a couple different levels. Number one; if you have a difference of opinion with one the people who volunteer their time in here, you owe them the respect to air your grievances privately - at least initially.

Number two; there is a social feel to these boards. Just like in life, we support our friends, and this can be, and often is, at an emotional level - whether we fully agree with them or not. We usually take people aside if we disagree, and express this.

We don't call them out in front of everyone and throw them under the bus. :x

I am timing myself out for the next 24 hours because I am very disappointed with several of you; you show an apparent lack of understanding as to what friendship and loyalty truly mean in life; and yes, these boards are an extension of our lives to some extent.


I will leave it at that, because I could go on, but I won't. I could call out about six people by name here, but I won't.

I could just "forget" it happened; but I can't.

-Dave


I agree. I don't post on here often but i just read through the gdt and wow some people went overboard. Shony made a decision that hjky whatever his name was be banned and the other posters and mods should respect her decision no matter if it was right or wrong. It's like if a family member does something wrong you still support them no matter what, i know this is a message board but whatever same thing. Now maybe we can all get along :dance: even though the loss still sting congrats to canada!

If one mod is given carte blanche to do what he or she feels, and is immune to being questioned by his or her fellow mods (as you're suggesting), then just give that mod a swastika and pair of jack boots, cuz it'll turn into a concentration camp up in this bitch.

LOL. I'm not really saying that i guess what i meant to write was that if someone didn't agree with her they should have pm'd her instead of blasting her in the thread for all to see.

Instead, the poster chose to celebrate and taunt here. If that wasn't the case, then why continue to come back under several aliases and continue with the same banter?

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. this IS a Sabres Forum, on which, half of the players hail from Canada. So to choose sides in a USA/Canada match brings no "injustice" to anything. you can choose what team you want to win. the same goes in a GDT if it was for pittsburgh and washington.

It's a dumb argument, but I'm not going to say more then that.
In theory it was set up to be like any other GTD, but with country ribbing in the middle. In practice it all went to hell when Crosby scored.

if this is a close community, as many, as well as myself have brought up, it shouldnt be torn apart, or ban hammers tossed about because of the results of a hockey game. yes, hockey is why we are all here, but you know what i mean.

A situation like this deserves to be governed by man rules - you get in a fight, you call each other fags and twats, you punch and drink out the animosity, and the next day you're back to being besties.

Well put.

As for gameday threads (humor me a little here folks as I RARELY participate in a GDT), is it against custom for anybody but a Sabres fan to post? I guess I thought it was supposed to be about the game, not about rooting for one side or another. (Shows you how much I know) I must say, if no opposing opinions are allowed, that sounds pretty boring and masturbatory.

I dont think he should of been banned either and from my point of view all it looked like was bad sportsmanship and a sore loser attitude. Sure every U.S fan was pissed about the loss and i understand that but i would of loved to have seen what would of happened if the shoe was on the other foot and Canada had lost.

Masturbating never has to be boring. :naughty: :?

Oh wait you mean the GDT being one sided. Ah ok, gotchya. I like to think of it as a form of breaking down the matchup and allowing all of us here to round up our pitchforks and chainsaws prior to the mobbing of the opposition.

Followed up by a postmortem thread of said GDT, should the game not fall in the Sabres favor. in which we all drink our faces off over at ETC's and someone gets to play GM for the rest of the night.

Brothers and Sisters!!! Can I get a witness?! :pray:

:lol:

woah, masturbating is TOO boring. jeez, i hardly ever yank anymore because i simply dont wanna waste a few minutes on it.

then again, when im in bed with a lady, and the three minute mark passes, im looking at the clock going "come on. i could be doing other stuff! like watching cartoons!"

dont worry, im not a selfish lover.
