Barry Hirstius | TROUBLE IN PARADISE? Losing Hand in Las Vegas Leaves Saints With Many Questions

AsylumGuido · 09-24-2020, 12:34 PM

Reminds me of a cruise out of New York City up the east coast to Canada. There was a Falcons forum which I frequented and was actually fairly involved (unlike that other Saints forum). Anyway, I was sitting at the bar in the ship's sports pub talking to the bartender about the Saints. After about twenty minutes the guy sitting a couple of chairs down turned to me and said, "Your name wouldn't happen to be Guido, would it?" I said that was my nickname and I used it as a username and asked how he knew that. He said you were saying the same things that AsylumGuido says on our Falcons forum. It turned out I knew the guy from there. We ended up teaming up in sports trivia in the bar several time over the remainder of the cruise. Small world.

Just curious.

Really don't matter Guido, he's here now. You both have different points of view, anyone who reads these post see that. Really don't get why you keep asking him the same question over and over and over and over. You ride a fine line as a mod. almost if not to the point of instigation. Just my opionion.

Actually, I only asked it over once. We have had several members here that have shared stories of having been banned on that other site. I was just curious as to what his story was as compared to the others.

As I said, I only asked it over once. I asked it initially, and then asked it over again. Exactly as I stated.

What is your problem?

Hold up a second - did I read the post above me correctly, you are a moderator on this site?

If so, that may change the way I interact with you. I assumed that you were sort of the forum troll trying to stir up crap that I didn't want the moderation staff to have to clean up.

But, if you are actually representing the site then I suppose you are setting the appropriate tone for the forum and we can let the chips fall where they may.

No. I don't know where that came from. Definitely not a mod. Not sure where halloween was coming from on that one. I assure you that I am nothing more than a very active irritating forum member. I hope that eases your mind.

But, you'll find that this forum is FAR more forgiving than that other place. And I'll take you up on that beer some day.

Why was Saints having problems with the Raiders?

Just about any answer will pretty much be right.

Rookies and young talent want to prove themselves and that LV team is full of just that.

I kind of had my worries going into that game because of Gruden and only Gruden, him and Payton have given each other so many fits in the past where these games between them always look out of the ordinary.

If you were to do this same again, Saints probably win it by 10.
