I just generally heard a negative take to his role there. I have no details, hence why I was asking.

Welcome one and all.

I suggest you settle in to the SECrant as well during the season. If you enjoy merciless trolling and can handle getting beat down during a loss that is. It takes a special kind of fan to endure a board where the mods don’t axe everything negative about your team.

Y’all should also head to the OT and introduce yourself. They love meeting new people over there

I think he was disliked by a lot of people because of the style of his reporting/articles from a sports perspective. Not political.

This.

Oh, and don’t be a pussy and not eat crow when you know you should. You can troll after.

My boy Texag7 talked mad shite about Burrow sucking and refused to show up when the thread was bumped.

Which reminds me...posters will bookmark your stuff and prove that you were a momentary idiot.

I was reminded of this when I stated prior to the season that I thought Clyde E-H would be replaced midway through the season.

Lastly, my favorite board is the OT Lounge. You never know what you are going to see posted there.

Welcome aboard Aubbie fans.

I got suspended once because I wrote that Brandon Marcello's sunglasses were ugly. He did this video on some AU football topic when he was wearing some hideous crazy looking silver rim sunglasses that made him look like a giant insect. So I posted, "Brandon we luv the video but you gotta get rid of those ugly sun glasses." A few hours later, my login was no longer working, no explanation. That's the only time I have ever been booted from a forum.

Marcello always struck me as a thinned-skinned little b'yatch. It wouldn't surprise me if he had some part in it. He's always hit me as a left-leaner when he's made any political statements.

Yes. If a topic doesn't gain traction quickly, it is off the first page and gone.

I 2nd the SECRANT. It was really interesting going from an all AU board to a board full of the whole SEC, plus Mizzou and aTm. It is way more fun getting mad at a rival fan than arguing with your own fans over the same old stuff.

They zapped a post critical of CBS’s 60 Minutes the other day.

There is a movement going on among the tech giants and the MSM to censor conservatives and their critics. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and deep cleaning of Google searches are intent on dictating what we get to read and watch.

Which says SO much about their belief in their own arguments being persuasive.

So they spammed the board and after months of incessant vitriol & non stop lies, the mods apparently had enough of it.


That ain't why.

The reporting of the posting of copyright material is why.

There is no such thing as free speech in the foundations of Marxism.

"Reagan asked Gorbachev if he liked jokes about the USSR. Gorby said yes, I've got three gulags full."
