Again, I have no problems with anyone criticizing something. But add something other than, "good NFL teams have elite QBs" and then tell the poster putting in work that "he can't read."
I agree completely with those that feel that the NFL threads are fairly bad. I am solely to blame for this and I honestly want to try and help them get better. If that means some timeouts for habitual line steppers...so be it.
I have always had the belief that bans hurt conversation rather than help(outside of the ldo egregious ones). The reason I accepted being a Mod was that in my mind I thought maybe having a green name and adding content will lead more to do so. I haven't been active enough nor was I a very good poster for a long period of time there(and maybe even now). That may have been a belief that was very wrong.
ah, Needle knows the fine line when criticizing ventures into spew territory. naturally. i had plenty of fine posts and a FEW (like 2) questionable ones and you hit me with the banhammer.
i didn't merely say that "good NFL teams have elite QBs". Sublime mentioned the NFL teams that know when and why to take a RB in the first round and I simply pointed out the painfully obviously fact that those teams STRUCK GOLD with their QBs and can draft whoever they want whenever they want and they'll still be awesome.
but hey
nate just decided to spew, which is fairly common in my experiences
the bastion of objectivity.
