\"Agenda\" talk ends today, gentlemen. I will treat the word \"agenda\" just like I do any other word that is not acceptable on this message board. Thanks for understanding in advance. ;)

Rich006, I agree. Very insightful. Of course, this is exactly why we need those other guys - they were the ones who had the most interesting views of the dead horse.

DitUp2, hilarious!

BnB, I, for one, am looking forward to the new crusade.

No. I guess I\'m gonna have to have a list of all the words which are now unacceptable for this board. I understand obscenity being restricted, but the use of a non-obscene word?

I do understand what you\'re trying to prevent, but there\'s no justification here. What I said about agendas neither hurt anyone, flamed anyone, nor broke any rule as posted. This board does not need activist moderators rewriting the rules so the b&g forum will be the world as they perceive it. :D

At any rate, I just feel like this site should not be singling out people for using a particular word when the spirit of what you are trying to do clearly does not involve my statement. You\'re going after all the people accusing others of having an agenda and making a big deal about it. That\'s simple enough, right or wrong, but is clearly misplaced when applied to the above posts.

I understand this is a privately owned board wherein comments can be restricted in whichever way is found preferable by the owner. However, I think the non-trouble-making members should be treated with a little more deference and leeway.

You are entitled to your opinion. I think labeling me as an \"activist moderator who is rewriting the rules\" is a bit unfair, considering you were not present during the conversation I had with Halo this morning. Since becoming a mod a few weeks ago, I\'ve had exactly one interaction with another member on this board concerning their postings, so I don\'t believe I\'m being over the top. But I asked if I could take the gloves off, and was told yes.

I\'m all for you beating the tar out of those who deserve it. I just think threatening to edit those who even use the word agenda is going too far. BTW, I thought the use of \"activist moderator\" was clever (and funny) considering the times, and didn\'t mean it to be nearly as much of an insult as it might have sounded to you. I considered it poking you with a stick. (Insert stick pointing smiley here). :cool:

insert machine gun smiley here :P

No prob, it sounded a bit harsh at first, so I had a huge question mark over my head. Had I known it was a joke, I would have responded with a, Go *&%$@#! $%^&, you !@#$ :P

Oh NOW you\'re ready to tackle the addendum talk? LOL

To answer your original question, at least as it relates to me, I got tired of the addendum stuff. I ducked my head b/c posting wasn\'t exactly fun... I think others also might have felt that the rules weren\'t being applied evenly across the board.

But with grumpier old men looking out I feel all warm and fuzzy again. I\'m ready to post like never before... there\'s only one problem - ain\'t much new to talk about. I don\'t know that the Oakland game taught us anything new or changed much of anything. Now we have to sit on our hands and wait to see what happens against SD.

You were warned, LOL

Oakland didn\'t teach us anything except that it is possible for our boys to beat a team that they should beat. Of course, we kinda already knew that. (See 49ers.) Now, IF we can beat San Diego, I might start feeling better about the team. I love our schedule being backloaded with division rivals. A run at the right time could catapult us into the NFC South Championship, although highly unlikely.
