I just laughed my f'n ass off that nutjob GP thinks he speaks for anybody here other than his crazy ass self... talk about a lack of self awareness, as if he's just "one of the normal guys" now, lol. *I only saw it because someone quoted him though, so indirectly at least, Old Souljier is right on the money about that ignore button.
Nothing warms my heart more than to see a stack of three names (yeah, and sometimes a stack of the same name 20 times) with no posts showing up under them in the morning.
And wow... I had forgotten all about ernie that one night, boy did that come completely out of left field?!? *But Glass handled it exactly like he should have...
I still come here to read on a regular basis, but I've "tried" not to post as much - but I have to admit that sometimes it's hard not to respond to some of the nonsense that gets posted here.
I support whatever the owners of the site decide they want / need to do regarding this board. Just hope it doesn't then permeate the sports boards instead though...

Feel the same as you and ouldsouljer, it's the owners site. If they want to shut it down, it's their call. Hopefully it doesn't leak onto the sports boards. It's worse there than it is here. I have more on ignore there than here.

I must have missed mountainwolf night. Ernie was basically threatening to kill everyone including the POTUS. I believe there was serious consideration about contacting the FBI or Secret Service. He was seriously unhinged.

2/11/22. Only know because I still have his DMs. Similar to what it sounds like Ernie was doing, except his threats were limited to those posting on the board (edit to add, he also included spouses and mothers). Pretty sure it had to do with Covid, but not certain

He was the one laughing at people because he said if you didn't get the vaccines and the boosters that society was going to shut them out from ever being able to enter any businesses, etc... and you would also soon be dead... when all that came crashing down around him, he basically got taunted for it and he didn't handle it well.
Here's my favorite DM from him that I received on 2/11/22:
Mountainman97

*********I wish I get my hands on you right now. I'm trying to find you right now. You better hope I don't.
Funniest part about it was that I don't think I was even on the boards when he had that meltdown that night, I only saw what had happened the next morning and then saw the 3-4 DM's he sent me... apparently he sent DM's out to a bunch of people that night. He was the epitome of the old saying, "you can dish it out but you can't take it"
He'd had a couple of short bans before that last one though, even had to come back under another user name one of those times at least... he was a maintenance supervisor or similar for DOT somewhere around Polk County if I remember correctly...
Tick. Tock.
Tick. Tock.
That was his favorite post representing the clock ticking on your life if you didn't keep taking the boosters...
His biggest problem was that he liked to post when he was heavily lubed up on the sauce, and it didn't take much to set him off into a complete rage... believe me, it didn't only happen once.
Then there was the guy in Charlotte that was in an absolute rush to get his 1, 3 and 5 year olds vaccinated, so they could "open up the schools again" and so that he could start going to movie theatres again. He was really obsessed about wanting to go to the movies again for some reason... he was hook, line and sinker all in on covid.
Ahh, the memories...
*Honestly, maybe bringing back the one-week, one-month, then permaban enforcements was better than no enforcement at all... the last person the owners of the site should be listening to is the one that thinks the term "free speech" means he can post whatever he wants on a message board created and owned by somebody else.

You didn't miss it, you just don't remember it probably because it was much farther back. You got rid of him on the spot.

Glasswolf said:GuerrillaPack said:Glasswolf said:caryking said:
For a thread where IPS management stated they were considering shutting this place down, well… we sure have missed the mark.
We all tried to moderate the WC. But every time we did, we got accused of censorship. No matter which side was moderated. So eventually I just stopped. Wasn't worth it.
I think I speak for most of the right-leaning posters here when I say that we do not want any moderation. It is not needed...except for when literal spammers (guys from other websites trying to sell something) post new threads advertising their travel site or whatever.
It is overwhelmingly the Left that requests and wants heavy moderation of the site. Because Leftists want to use that heavy moderation to enact censorship of conservatives and right-leaning posters.
I believe that the "hands off' approach to moderation in The Water Cooler as it has been operating for the last few years has worked just fine. The only "problem", it seems, is that Leftist posters are just constantly whining and pestering the mods and site owners because they want more and more censorship...because that is the modus operandi of the Left, to censor their ideological opponents.
Just ignore all these Leftist whiners. That's the real problem here.
You sure about that. I've gotten more messages about Hokie, Civilized and Smapty than anyone.

When I joined IPS I thought the WC was going to be like the old Brickyard (from way back) which was fun and random and mostly lighthearted, even with a little politics and weirdness. There were flashes with the WC, but it ended up just being whatever this is now.

Come on now... The WC is no worse than the Sports Forums. I literally don't post much on the Sports Forums because of the lunacy.

But I can edit a post or delete comments on the Football and Basketball forums and don't get bombarded with accusations of violating their free speech.
Well, I was comparing the WC to the old Brickyard, not the sports board. But still, the yelling matches over there don't reach the same level as they do over here IMO. And look, if this board makes a few people happy, I don't care if it continues, although I wouldn't want to moderate it.caryking said:Sullivan908 said:
