i appreciate the tip, I honestly don't remember which browser I was using. I'm a bit of a browser whore, I use 3!

Let's face, no one ever wants to hear an opposing fan during a game, and when you are just typing, not face to face, a lot of meaning can be lost.
Bottom line, if Colston fumbles inside the 20, the last thing I want to see is YESSS!!!
The guy handled himself well, even when attacked, but...

Well, I've read the posts and can't say as I disagree ... maybe the LiveChat should be a 'WhoDat' only kinda' thing ... in my defense, I don't feel I said anything inappropriate or malicious and that certainly was not my intent. I cheered when my team did well, cursed when they didn't and I cheered the good plays by your team as well. I expected some good natured ribbing from y'all too, and for the most part, it was all good fun. But you're right, inviting an outsider to that inner sanctum might be a little much and could potentially be a powder keg. Lucky for you guys I'm a perfect guest, the 'Beautiful Loser' as my homeboy Bob Seger puts it.

I don't want to overstep my bounds guys ... this board is amazing and the Detroit boards suck, I think I just got too excited over having a place to have real, intelligent football dialogue with other knowledgeable fans.

It's like being at Mardi Gras, eventually you got to get back to where you come from . . . thanks for the vacation guys, I'll just finish out the playoff run if you don't mind . . . my boys here in the "D" been telling me I'm online too much anyway.

go Lions.

So, my suggestion is to ask other Lions fans, who claim to be friendly, to just not join us for the chat on game day. Invite them to post away on the board, but during the game, leave us to celebrate or console ourselves or ***** about the refs ( in the heat of the moment ) on our own.

I think if the game would have gone the other way, having Slo in the chat, could have potentially gotten ugly, and, I believe would have just added to our pain.

Actually, there was one minor thing that I didn't appreciate about Slo. His signature line was Who Dat? Dem Lions. When I asked him to change it -- he just wrote it in French. Maybe he thought I don't read French.

No, I figured you read french and Detroit also has historically French roots as New Orleans, so I figured it was appropriate. My daughter is actually very fluent and gave me that translation, saying it meant something like, "Who is there? Those are the Lions", or something to that affect. In my naivety, I assumed that would be far enough removed from "WhoDat?" to not offend, but still allow me a friendly dig at the Saints. It'll be gone the minute after I submit this post.

No hard feelings. I've never had a thread dedicated to me before either ... you guys really do make me feel special ... seriously. If the Lions hadn't been handed down through generations, well two, in my family and my Pops were still alive, I'd jump ship and become a Saints fan.

go Lions.

Maybe we need an "Opposing Team Fan Meltdown" Forum?

I don't know about you guys, but I can't even take an occasional poke-by-text from a buddy during a live game, more less an opposing fan in my face during LIVE chat.

I was off-grid last weekend and just had to simply enjoy the game. I missed my dose of LIVE chat and evidently a rare appearance by an opposing fan as well.

I'm not hating on opposing fans, but I can not imagine myself on an opposing fan board during a game when I could be on my home board.

Welcome, anyway, but when we're not playing the Lions, you guys need to just hide and watch.

I trust Halo will take care of the admin side of our business, so I'll just play along as long as it doesn't get offensive.

No Censorship - None

If someone wants to use their ass for their thinking device and get on here and talk smack whether a Saints fan or Neaux...I would hope Black and Gold should reflect what America is all about...

Well except for the N-word, or F*g or a handful of other ethnic slurs that hurt peoples feelings.

Political correctness is kicking freedom of speech right in the balls.
