what is the time limit on this one gator? smitty

Joe,

as much as he is overreacting to things he hasn\'t done anything truly worthy of being kicked out of here, god i hate admitting that :mad:

Gator, the anwser to your question is HELL NO. The issue here seems to be that the \"powers that be\" on this site want everything kept on the subject of \"football talk.\" I went back and read some old threads and saw a lot of stuff by the same members here that are complaining, and a lot of their stuff was in no way football related. So the problem here can\'t be they want it kept strictly about football,or they need to pratice what they preach. The next complaint was about cursing. I went back and read your posts and although you did curse, it wasn\'t that bad (in my opinion). I read where Halo said to keep the cursing down. What does down mean? Down from my normal amout of everyday cursing or his?What is the acceptable level?If your going to start talking kicking members off of here, seems to me that the rules should more clearly defined. If they want no cursing at all, that\'s fine, but just state it in no uncertain terms. The last issue here is \"belittling people.\" The ones that are getting upset about this aren\'t the people that are so called being \"belittled\". It\'s the few people that are offended by it. I heard an arguemnent that calling each other names is unacceptable because it would offend new members, children, preachers and nuns. I would take everything that everyone is complaing about to my preatcher and I don\'t think he would be offended. He might say a few members need to grow up. Some people are like Barney Fife, they got on bullet in their pocket, and they can\'t wait to use it.......

I\'ll own up to being a real jerk sometimes. But am I such a jerk that I deserved to be kicked off?

BucNup-

Why don\'t you keep this between you and gator? You accuse Billy of going up behind each of your posts with childish banter, but you are guilty of the same thing. Gator\'s question sure as hell wasn\'t directed to you, it was directed to the people that have been posting for a while. You want respect on these boards, you gotta work for it, and you haven\'t been around long enough. This is a B&G thing, so kindly keep your nose and remarks the hell away from it.

Yeah whatever.... I\'m giving him what he gave me. You got a problem with it, too bad.

I don\'t want to see Gatorman gone. Although I don\'t agree with him on many things, it\'s a free country and he can say what he wants.

Gatorman,
Though it\'s a free country, hosting isn\'t, which gives them the right to \"edit\" your posts or potentially ban you. I don\'t like edits but sometimes, I\'m out of line or offensive too.

BucNup,
I definitely hope you stay around Saints boards. They may not know it but you\'re very knowledgable about Saints football and bring facts to the table. I look forward to the \"smack talk\" the weeks leading up to the Saints/Bucs games this season!

I hope we can put an end to all of this without anyone leaving. We have a great season coming and I look forward to all Saints fans being around to discuss it.

Let me explain this where you all can understand it. I DON\'T want Gator gone.
BillyC, before you start putting words in my mouth ,it would be a good idea for you to know what you\'re talking about. If you have a problem with me tell me about it. I\'ve been called a nazi and Barney Fife because I have a job to do and I do it. I don\'t edit posts unless they are blatantly cruel to others or the names are hurtful. If you don\'t believe this has happened oh well. It has and it won\'t anymore. AGAIN END OF STORY!
Show your intelligence and do it. Gators words not mine.

Actually, the banter and the (sometimes brutal) honesty of everyone\'s (including Gator\'s) opinion is what made me want to start posting. Like the debate, like the intensity. like the board.

For what it\'s worth.

gator is actually one of the reasons i started posting on this board... the man is full of knowledge and he just lets everyone know about it in his own special way.... let the man be..... we have been posting here for a long time and i dont think any of us have acted any differently.... but sometimes people just say things that are stupid and repetitive... and they need to be put back in their place....
