I dont have a bone in this fight..

But its pretty clear that people here struggle with anyone who has a different opinion than theirs. Its pack mentality and they resort the the most petty insults. Its sad really.

Like you said, everyone has the option of not responding.

I dont want to suck any Richard here, but for what it's worth AA, I don't fully understand the hate you get. Maybe some of it, but not #1 most insufferable on the thread

you're saying this in Trump's voice?
- 21peter

No.. Why? Are you hearing it in Trumps voice?

ug never bothered me, I had a few "discussions" with him years ago...but he was entertaining for sure..people just couldnt resist his trolling/posting

imo he makes it much more fun on here.
- senstroll

until people lose their poo and start name calling.

What you don’t know is that UG was addressed personally by not only myself, but other mods, and EO as well... multiple times... so it wasn’t just his behaviour but the fact that he was blatantly disregarding the fact that the site was growing tired of him and that he was on thin ice. So after showing he had no intention of adjusting his behaviour the guys at the top perma-banned the account.

You might want to check out aardvarks location, then explain why that’s allowed.

Good.

If we can put the permanent kibosh on politics talk next, this place would move up in the world.

As I was saying last night I plan to be around more often so yes I’ll be sure to make an effort to curb that topic from being discussed with too much emotion

I’m making a new alt, coming to HB soon.

hUGs
- Garnie

not bUGs?

hUGs

Denault

And Matthews broke his stick cross checking Chiarot after the whistle, not sure why that was called either. 🤷🏻‍♂️
- Garnie

Because then the refs would need to call one of the hundreds of crosschecks given to Matthews. And acknowledging they happen is a no-no.

thanks

It means something to me to hear that.

I never used to be able to remember who my haters were, so i wrote it down and it turns out its the same 5-6 posters. Im trying to get them to calm down and let it go, but its been a long process.

If that's the criterion, I have a list you can ring off.

The UG ban didn't work. It merely emboldened those who promoted it.
- AdamFrench

Fine, let him back on. See how many leave because of him. I am fine either way to be honest. I didn't talk to him.

not bUGs?
- 21peter

I’m sure I bUGs more then a few around here.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Holy hell... how long should I wait til I start banning again?

when the kids start to fight and disrupt ur TV enjoyment.

Goes both ways is all I’m saying

don't ban me.. I'm just here to add gas to the fire
- PatC80

I though you were here for the ads. then my mind fixed the incorrect reading of your post.

I’ve addressed it. Now let’s see where it goes.

- senstroll

Agreed
I found ugh amusing when he was trolling people.
Sometimes he went overboard but other times, he wasnt wrong about some of his opinions. He just didnt know when to move or throw in the towel...which is what gets him banned.

I'm puzzled by Gigsie's and Patzer's posts saying that Uggie flip-flopped.

My experience with him was always that he would refuse to admit he was wrong - ever.

He would stick with his narrative in the face of overwhelming proof he was wrong.
- Atomic Wedgie

That's what made talking to him a joke.

He'd argue something for weeks and then once someone else said something slightly different but along similar lines, he'd argue the opposite for the sole reason to get into arguments.

And he'd completely denied ever arguing the other side.

He's a jackass who only wanted to argue.

At least Matthew's looked him in the eye when he cross checked him. Not in the back, over and over and over.. FFS

I never quite understood why he got the hammer.

He was annoying as frank, but I don't think he ever violated any of the CoC commandments.

If people didn't like him, they did have the option of not replying to him.
- Atomic Wedgie

I believe he got banned for insulting refs and name calling. That occurred often.
Plus some people constantly whined about him

Don’t change it! I love it! I worked hard to get there by becoming something that isn’t remotely in my nature. I should get an Emmy nomination, but it worked.
Consider yourself in good company.

100% agree with ya there man

I feel like we should talk less about who used to be annoying and more about how much the Leafs need to keep Hyman on that first line for now.

He had a good sense of humour as well, if you allowed yourself to see past the rest.

that pretty much sums it up for me too
