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. - Lavenduh Panduh

How can you believe anything this psycho says anymore. Clearly a very disturbed individual. - Angus4444
Yes. He is. He's gone way beyond hockey talk and discussion of ideas and differences of opinion. When you create alternate names and avatars to go off on rants, this is indicative of a person with major issues. The scary thing is that this whacko is educating our kids in college.
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. - Lavenduh Panduh
Yeah you do that. I have some questions I’d like you to answer without spin and give me a logical explanation for it.
Fauci lied to Congress it’s been proven. The NIH knowingly funded a program that in turn gave that money to the wuhan lab for gain of function research.
Why has Fauci not been fired? He has been wrong so many times and his history even with AIDS makes him highly questionable to give any serious advise.
Why are highly credentialed doctors from prestigious medical programs getting censored?
Why are doctors being investigated or threatened to be fired for prescribing cheap available drugs for the wuhan flu?
Why aren’t treatments being recommended to prevent hospitalization as soon as symptoms start or getting a positive test?
I have yet to find a study that masks work would you care to provide those?
You can wear a gator to count as a mask.
How many microns will a gator filter.
The military did a study on quarantining and masks and found the mask subjects did not far any better than non masked.
Why do family members have to sue to get prescriptions filled for family in a hospital bed sick from covid?
Why is a Nobel prize winning drug that is FDA approved Ivermectin mocked as horse paste by politicians and the media?
Why would any governor ban any medical treatment that may help anyone?
Why aren’t Cuomo, Wolf and others being investigated for sending covid positive seniors back to nursing homes when we knew the elderly were at high risk?
If you ask me it’s all about control and money. The EUA for these shots cannot be kept if there are known treatments for a illness or disease.
Why are the suddenly so many athletes who are in fantastic shape suddenly stricken by heart problems?
Why is Pfizer recently running PSA’s on how to recognize symptoms of pulmonary embolisms?
If the shots work then how come they don’t work as Billy Bean might say?
The Pfizer CEO is talking about 2nd boosters or a fourth shot.
Why is natural immunity ignored?
I could go on and on. I can submit links galore that this plandemic has not been handled well at all by the medical community.
I would wish you a good day but you don’t deserve it.

because fauci worked with china and he's just using their tactics
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? - Lavenduh Panduh
Hey, I’m as perplexed as you are by some people’s opinions on Covid-19 and vaccines, but it doesn’t make you and your routine any less creepy.
I don’t really have an objection to strip clubs. Just was never my thing. I always found strip clubs kind of sad and sleezy. I like to look at naked women as much as anyone, I just prefer to do it in when I’m not in the company of other men. Funny story…I was in Atlanta, for work, during the SCF in ‘97. I couldn’t get the game in the hotel and ended up watching the Red Wings beat the Flyers in game 4 in a strip club/sports bar. Spent the whole night buying drinks I didn’t want and giving strippers tips to leave me alone so I could watch the game. Maybe the Flyer’s loss is partly to blame for why I find strip clubs so sad?
Yes. He is. He's gone way beyond hockey talk and discussion of ideas and differences of opinion. When you create alternate names and avatars to go off on rants, this is indicative of a person with major issues. The scary thing is that this whacko is educating our kids in college. - Letterkenney

You sound as cuckoo as PT. Can’t we please move the propaganda to another site?
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
Isn’t it a rule that if you get a ban you can’t create a new profile and post????

He brings up legitimate questions. Questions do not make someone cuckoo. There are millions of people that have the same questions. If it's about medical science, we get answers. It it's about political science, we get shut up and no questions are allowed.
