I actually get along with ReeRun but I have no sympathy for what he did. I use to be in LE and we would always laugh at all the idiotic things people would do and get busted for. So admittedly I find it hard to empathize with certain people when they do really stupid things.

But overall I agree with your post.

Bill Parcells/Dimension 2112/2112, a guy I really, really like and have had many great personal PM's over the years, recruited Shtsprayer to the DC.

Yea the irony of some of these people thinking the DC forum is an actual issue.

Hell the main lounge from probably 2009-2012 was rougher than DC is now.

I came here for the colts playoff game. I stayed because I like the people here.

I post both in DC and the lounge. When I post in the lounge, it’s generally about Colts related stuff that is already being discussed or non football topics.

I’m not seeing a compelling reason to do away with DCHL. And no, a few posters with the red ass is not a good reason.

that was circa 2007? I think.
Not a chance nowadays. I’ve got Arrowhead South expanding into Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina this year. I already deal with too many assholes not following the rules.

Says the guy who just this week called Whitlock an Uncle Tom LMAO

In the main lounge no less.

Heh. If only.

We live in a world of lies layered upon lies, and everybody is a conspiracy theorist now. Whether you believe in Russia hoaxes, or question the media's bias. The only difference is that I'm way ahead of the curve. I'm so far ahead of the curve that I've actually passed an information veil that most people are still blinded by. Sort of like the Truman Show. I'm on the other side of the dome, looking in, and saying, "guys, we're in a dome, come look."

As far as I can tell, it is inevitable that society is going to cross this veil. The Bible calls it the apocalypse:

There's nothing that I post about that I can't back up with facts. From there, it's just a matter of what people's cognitive dissonance allows them to accept or reject. Some people are ready to accept truth. Some prefer the comforts of the lies. My life isn't invested in the lies of this world and I'm confident enough in myself to not care if people on the Internet like me or not for believing things that they don't.

By the way, it's a bad idea to get rid of the DC forum. The whole reason they exist is because if they didn't, politics infects the day to day topics. Which, as you can see from this thread, is already happening. That phenomenon only gets worse if you eliminate the outlet. If you want to turn this forum into a war zone between people with political opinions and moderators trying to keep politics off the forum, the best way to accomplish that is to eliminate the acceptable outlet for discussion.

Wow. That guy has no self awareness.

**** you Donger! :D

Bro, you're old school and I like you. But you are the conspiracy king.

The vast majority of reported posts are from DC.
There's more potential for real life crossover/issues (and there has been) due to the lack of moderation and general lack of civility.
There's clearly animosity that leaks into other forums, which rules out the whole "just stay out of DC", plus all of the political junk in other forums.


Saying DC is a big problem doesn't automatically mean the Lounge is perfect or close to it.... but, even a shithole football forum is still a football forum.

Ok I'm going back through this thread and really laughing my ass off because Dane literally does 90% of the things he is complaining about in this thread.

In the Whitlock/LeBron thread he got pissed and bashed me over a Nate Silver story and told me to get out of there with Fox News linked bullshit LMAO

I aint mad atcha. I'm good with who I am and accept that most people will find me to be a raving lunatic... until they don't.

Let's face it, there's a divide and too many aren't able to put aside their political banter when the thread they're in isn't political. Take how political rivals interact in the Space tread. That's how it should be. We can have our differences in the DC, that's America, but when outside of the DC, people need to let it go.

As for threads that get started in the lounge that aren't about sports (even though "sports" are very political these days), I would be in favor of moving those very quickly. So if it's not about cleats in the turf (like the Whitlock topics tend to be anymore), it shouldn't be in the lounge.

JMO. And I'm more than willing to help in any way that I can.
