Has a single page ever been Slorch'd and Derka'd at the same time?

That certainly would create a Critical Mass situation.

After a while when shaggy became surly, i put quite a few of you on ignore based on constant BS in DT.  Lots of threads in movies or lolz or wherever with ignored posts.  Eventually I started reading just those posts in those threads and realized I like a lot more of y’all when it’s not a post in DT or CR. I’d probably interact with more people if i could just ignore their posts in particular boards (99% of the time just DT and CR, but there are a few of you that are real asshole food snobs 😁)

In all seriousness, the ability to talk about news/politics on here is important. Most of the internet is fucked now and social media has become harmful. Bots and algorithms rule the roost. 

But for all its faults, this site is filled with real people and real opinions. Sure we have posters who like to troll, but in general these are legitimate human conversations between people who have a united passion (UT sports). It'd be nice if we could all give each other some grace, but even without it, it's important to have this message board. I wish people would stop complaining about a medium we are lucky to have at this point.

If you somehow are animal tobacco, which I don't necessarily believe because that guy was not nearly as good at hiding his shitty beliefs as he thought he was, you've certainly become a better poster, even if we may disagree on certain things.

The fascination with some of you on trying to connect people back to banned posters is odd. You have Penelope posting DM’s in the flood thread just to try to prove someone is Rex. Who gives a shit? Just put them on ignore if you don’t like them, didn’t like them, etc. The ability for people to self police their own interactions would make a lot of this much better.

The ability to discuss news and also have the dedicated political space is primarily why I still come around along with other non football boards. That one is damn near unreadable a lot of the time with all the whining that goes on there. Typically, no matter the subject there is someone that knows a lot more than me about it so it’s good to get their perspective and it’s also a benefit to get more localized input. Most discussion boards have completely removed politics/news at this point because the posters can’t control themselves and it’s bad for advertising revenue. This board does a pretty good job of managing it although from the outside looking in it is pretty clear who the problem children are.

I don't know why you're coming after me here, I have done nothing but mock him literally one single time for probably being Rex and then moved on.

Also, just so you know, the PM that Penelope posted also included me, but I just blocked him from DMing me and deleted the thread without mentioning it and I had no idea Penelope had posted it until just now so idk, maybe suck my dick?

Coming after you? I could have easily quoted several others, that was just the one that was here along with the other thread I had just caught up on. It was more of a general point than specific to you, but when the shoe fits feel free to wear it.

Ok, dude, my point was the shoe doesn't fit. You directly quoted me, what was I supposed to think?

This so so much. 

Man, I know @immamac has been struggling these last few days and I can't imagine moderating this board right now. The floods have been anxiety inducing to me. I have been struggling with the fallout, and I live in California with zero connection to the floods. 

I've seen so many posters lash out at each other and apologize later. Y'all are in the thick of it, so many here are affected or know someone directly affected by it. Politics bleed into spaces it shouldn't be, posters lash out at others when they shouldn't, but god dammit, this is unprecedented. Imagine 100 Sbbruins here after the California fires. I don't even know what to say. Temps are running high and we just need to remember we are a community. Kind of just spouting verbal diarrhea at this point, but the floods have really hit me hard

Gonna take the ol ball and chain on a vacation on Wednesday and I've been using the thread on food/travel to pick restaurants and places to go. This place is special
