does he send you PMs? he doesn't talk to me here but he still sends me PMs saying he'll kick my ass
- 2Real

He is fairly legendary for that, but surprisingly, I haven't received a single PM from him with threats. The only 1 received was 10 years ago.

Needless to say, I guard it zealously.

Don Lemon????

That's disgusting...and hilarious. Like watching my ex wife get decapitated with a butter knife.

So I called into Mikey Miss' show and said I would take the opportunity during this 'upswing' to showcase players to unload them.

Ty BOOED my call saying NO ONE out there thought that.

Who's with me?
- DrMidnite

WTF are you doing calling that idiot? He's the radio version of a troll. Not worth paying any attention to.

- THE BLACK HAND

Speaking of smell my finger...

Agreed.

His style is very pedantic, which is what I believe rubs others the wrong way.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with his views, whether or not it pertains to hockey, but I do respect them, and think his overall participation is a good thing.

One thing for sure: while MJL tends to respond to certain posters—particularly on certain topics—with limited exception, he's seems not as obsessed with other posters themselves as a certain other poster is.
- Bendecko

If you paid a little more attention to this site, not only would you recognize Taryn Hatcher's picture, you would know the absurdity of what you wrote. MJL is by all accounts an averagely decent guy, and I am a well-wisher. But he has waged wars with posters for years. There are posters he does not respond to consistently, for years.

Last year, I ignored him on multiple occasions, for many months at length. He responded to every single post of mine, sometimes multiple times to the same post. Sometimes, he would edit his posts multiple times, including in the wee hours of the morning. Multiple people commented on it, including Tomahawk, Fishtown 19125, JMatchett, and Stepford Sam, who posted a cat GIF.

I was wrong to get drawn into his nonsense. My new experiment of not ignoring him while also avoiding his pathological need for looping argumentation was clearly a failure, and I take the blame.

Willman starting to look the part, good for him.

10 years ago? You just joined on 12/14/21. How is that possible?

PT21, you've found a way to break out of Hockey Buzz jail. Kudos to you, buddy!

…and I thought it couldn’t get more cringey than his stories about strip clubs. Blogging in a fake accent is sort of the internet equivalent of a white guy in black face paint.
- Dkos

Let me address the second part first. Are you certain the part you object to was not by design? In the man's own words:

"My apologies for the "shtick", and that you did not find it amusing. I tried, but I was really hoping to provoke a public encounter such as this with the administrators of this site."

My objective was achieved. It might help now to tell me what you found "cringey" about the gaudy spectacle you allude to. Is it the past-time itself in our age of political correctness? Do you know deeply embedded the tradition of strip clubs is in American life, from the days of burlesque to Times Square before Giuliani, and including one of the greatest scientists the US has produced, who would go there to do his research?

It's amazing that for someone who's supposedly learned enough, that he didn't realize how utterly embarrassing the entire result would be.

I still stand by my first reply to that fake account:

- Bendecko

You stand by a lot, defiantly and what you think is wittily, but few what you stand by withstands scrutiny. If it did, you would know how absurd your first comment is, because the learned have historically been socially maladept.

The links some folks go to to HAMMER a point.
- hockeylover

I sincerely hope the point has been hammered, and that my seriousness will not be questioned. Messages have been sent to Ek, the esteemed moderator, and along with post should collectively serve as notice that someone means business and is prepared to escalate matters.

My overwhelming response when I received the ban was of relief that one procrastination temptation was removed. I am frankly not sure I "belong here", in multiple levels of that phrase.

I hope and expect I will be banned in this handle shortly. The length of the ban is therefore one that arouses extreme indifference in me.

For the record…my comment was in regards to the current lawsuit against him. Nothing more, nothing less.

PT21, you are a psychopath. And this new name and avatar along with your ramblings today prove it. You have a problem, dude. Go seek mental health help, buddy.

it's ok you'll be banned shortly
- Briere

And finally to you sir, an apology. You were a prop. Multiple baits were thrown, and you were the only one who bit.

No one administering this site can now claim, in the future, that they were ignorant about this incident. Sometimes in the US, the flamboyant, threatening, blunt approach works wonders.

Every day I come here and rub my eyes at what I reading. There might be some reason why a "sports site" should operate in a way that will not withstand public ridicule, but I will be damned if I know what those are. I have provided easy ways to clean this place with the imbecilish misinformation I encounter daily, one which doesn't need much resources at all. I hope the site takes note, and listens, as others have.

To the rest of you all: good night.

PT21, you are clearly a loser with significant mental issues. Like the kid that turns into the mass shooter at school. My God! You're "educating" America's youth? WTF is going on in your head?

Where is hello? Is he in HB jail, also?

Nah I love Mikey

I am always startled at the reasoning displayed here, but allow me to point out 2 things.

1. The hour-after-hour posting could not have happened since I was gone 3 months of the last 4.

2. Publicly flouting rules and screaming for attention that I am publicly flouting rules and thus asking for an even longer ban is not the most efficient way to deal with the top 3 things in your life.

No, I am not continuing this discussion with you. 90% of your posts are snide insults towards me, so I really do not wish to unearth where in the list of your important things I fare.
- Lavenduh Panduh

Lol. How many times did you say you are not responding, yet you always do Sheldon

What did PT do now ?
- Angus4444

He showed up

Good afternoon,

I have no interest in contesting any ban or getting involved in any disputes in the realm of the personal. In the list of the top 100 things of my life, participation here would rank 501st. My apologies for the "shtick", and that you did not find it amusing. I tried, but I was really hoping to provoke a public encounter such as this with the administrators of this site.

Now, since you truly have my attention in the middle of a very busy day, would you please read this very carefully, and bring it to the attention of the people who exercise authority of the running of this site, and while this post might be deleted, I will be taking a screenshot of it, and it will stand as testament to an uncontestable message.

This site is filled with people posting certain opinions about Covid. I will be as charitable as I can with what I term such "opinions", so let me simply say that these opinions have no scientific, institutional or (with the recent FDA approvals), legal basis in fact. There are multiple such posts on this thread even today. No other site that I know of allows this.

I wish I could call such a social media policy insignificant, even in an infrequently visited, lighthearted site such as this. I wish I could just adopt a laissez faire approach to it. Unfortunately, considerable evidence exists that it is not, and one shouldn't.

The moderators, such as you, who police the petty fights and name-calling allow many such posts to stand. I do understand that you cannot and possibly should not weed out every violation of rule and reason or personal opinion, but I have carefully garnered at least 20 such incidents over the past 6 months that have stood for weeks with the poster continuing to post daily since. This is in spite of the fact that you do not actually have to take a stand, if you don't want to, about the accuracy of the opinions or about freedom of speech. You can simply invoke the COC, and the irrelevance to Hockey.

Let me now direct you to your Terms of Use. I specifically direct your attention to two key phrasings, which I am highlighting below (circled). Your definition of "Contents", and use of the phrase "Reasonable Efforts."



Please note your definition of "Contents" of the site is not restricted in your own language to the output of bloggers and moderators and so on. It may thus be used to imply all content that is publicly available, including all posts made here, certainly all that persists for days and weeks. Please also note that the examples I refer to here provide, at least prima facie, evidence that you are in fact NOT engaging in reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy you promise in the Terms of Use.

I specifically shelled out for a subscription this summer with the very real possibility of this moment in mind. We now have a contract, implicit or otherwise. My purpose in seeking legal redress or bringing violations of this contract to the attention of appropriate consumer commerce regulating bodies would not be to recoup the insignificant subscription fees or be a jerk. It would be to use that avenue as a way to bring publicity to the way you moderate it, specifically with regards to the greatest public health emergency in a century. If your approach is that you have done nothing wrong, then well, surely you will embrace this publicity.

My truly sincerest apology for this heavy handed message. Considerable thought and exasperation precede it. I have been a member of this community for almost 14 years now, and was probably barely noticed before the pandemic. As an aside, my original ban was received because of admittedly intemperate language in a Covid discussion, where I was frankly filling in for what should have been your job to do. Not only do you have a haphazard attitude towards "accuracy," you actually punish the people who step into this gap if they breach standards of your decorum.

My very best.

How can you believe anything this psycho says anymore. Clearly a very disturbed individual.

well there are quite a few on mjls do not respond list. And most of those are people that proved him wrong.
but its the same schtick everyday with him. Shouldnt have fired hextall, RR is mediocre, and every move chuck made sucks, and who can i prove wrong today for something they thought in the past.....blah blah blah. Its a nice break from him.
- bradster

Here's the trick: He has a right to his own opinions. Don't let that fact bother you. Ignore him if you must.

And he just keeps digging himself further into a deeper hole with every post.
