And idiots like me were perfectly fine being total squares and offering their silly picks. I never felt intimated about participating. I kind of do now actually.
mb, couple things...
1. you are our mod. you're fine, you try (lolniss) and when i think about it, it's probably better that you don't have ties to anyone. if we had an election, that **** could get ugly.
2. performify was the man. wish he would come back and say hello.
3. what everyone is talking about in regards to trolling is that if people ask a question that has been asked 10 times and/or can be answered in the sticky, **** 'em. but if it's a question that is semi-newb, they may get clowned but in the process (and this is years ago) they most likely got killed, but then got their answer and more.
that's what people are crushing about. new guys show up and ask (dumb) questions that have been answered a LOT. the first people that asked them got clowned and in the process, got their answer.
4. why are you intimidated?
understand Bob, that you are the 2+2 Sports Betting Moderator.
whether you are worthy or not doesn't matter, you're important. this forum has historically had the highest content:bull**** ratio. i've said before that we have several handfuls of 1% types here, and we do. they should definitely get free passes to get pissed off at newbies because what they add is worth much, much, much more than the other 99%.
i support microbob as moderator. let that be said.
THAT said, MB, you should try to find a way to give the important posters much more leeway than others. how you do that? i dunno, but it needs to happen.
