    I've been waiting for someone to pick this up but they're all playing dumb over there.

    Buzzard is posting again and he's not even trying to hide it. He's mentioned his correct age, he's mentioned Colorado and has entertained everyone with one of his many Baltimore stories. He's registered under a few new names. I don't want to spoil the fun so I'll give you the one that has 74 posts since May 25. That name is onalinehorse. Beached whale has been communicating with him like it was nothing. The one who sticks her nose into everything doesn't know it's Buzzard? He even called her darlin' just like he used to.

    She's either the dumbest whale on the beach or she's in on it...again. Pretty obvious. HeySlick is the bad guy while this serial rule breaker gets to do whatever he wants.

    Watch for his name to quietly go red...most likely while staying off the suspension list. Another dishonest abuse of power...whales rule!

    what I don't get are all the BBButtkissers whjo come here and complain about name calling & insults.\
    I said it once and I'll say it again.......the only people guilty of that were KJisGay and OneArmedBandit...........

    sure I make crude jokes here & there and I'll take responsibility for that but please spare me and stop acting like it's the same as the 2 idiotic posters above........and stop acting like this thread is 1500+ posts of pure insults. I doubt you guys have even read a fraction of the 1500+ posts here

    also the cogent arguments outnumber the crude jokes by about 10 to 1. the reason why you guys don't see them is becaues you haven't looked for them.
    hell (R)eally (S)tupid even admitted that he doesn't read posts with cogent argumenets because they are "too long" lol!!!

    I don't even care about the old man. He can post all he wants under a thousand names for all I care.

    It's the uneven enforcement of the rules, the hypocrisy, the outright lies by the misfit mods. Fair? Not even close. Transparent? They don't know the meaning of the word. Dishonest? All the way.

    Every board has a Buzzard...it's no big deal. They've even got a Buzzard Junior over there. Right 2F?

    Yea I caught that 2F, the buzzard wanna be. Actually IMHO they are both trying to be Paul Lynde, the late comedian. A sarcastic one liner following a straight statement made. To me, they ain't Paul and their schtick gets old!

    you joined a site thats in its infancy so what do you expect.
    you cant seriously cvompare it to other sites that have been around 10 years or more.

    In new sites there are pioneers that start and maintain activity in areas of their interest....sometimes there are enough people to continue tie toipic and sometimes not. Thats what happens on new sites.

    It takes a little extra work and maybe a little frustration from posting things that dont get an automatic response.

    I have done that in sports and horseracing,....AND if I am lucky I get one or 2 responses.

    a new site require patience by posters, and being slow on the trigger to make comparisons to sites that are more mature.

    In my world(as I speak for myself, but I would think freddy and LP9 might agree)....I am not involved in name calling, more like characterization based on reality. Name calling is just pulling words out of your ass and hurling them...like fucking asshole, idiot, piece of shit

    The characterizations from me are based on reality and they are not just hurled non specific insults like wiz of nothing likes to use,

    for example
    Manboy---his actions are those of a socially backward boy in a mans body. Plenty of examples given. Insulting ? yes....but based on reality.
    Husband OF THE YEAR.......the pompous traits where he seems to enjoy suspending....a prime example him using "you are the weakest link" before punishing. Or posting a "dumb blonde" joke.......while at he same time he is in charge of a internet community while he cant even keep his family intact.
    Beached whale- reacts to people as a person who is bitter at the world. And why is she bitter at the world???....Guess.

    So as far as I am concerned, those characterizations are well chosen. Are they based on reality and therefore sting more than being called a fucking asshole or a stupid dickhead or a useless cunt(like wiz of nothing hurls) . I personally dont go for those type of insults, unless those insults are hurled at me. So sure the characterizations hit close to home. Its opinion based on reality. And some people just dont want to face reality.

    I am not claiming to take some sort of "high road"....i am just saying that no one here is the arbiter of what is or isnt a "proper" insult.

    So unless you people are willing to skewer wiz of nothing or mickey, or others for ALL their OFF COLOR insults......just dont be a hypocrite with me
    And if you do criticize others for all their off color insults and are consistent , then I accept the complaint.

    I agree. Once that type of generic name calling is used they have shown all their cards...what little cards they had. It is a sure sign that they can't handle themselves, can't hold their own in a debate, argument or even a simple back and forth. It shows just how out of their element they really are.

    When we don't respond in kind they become infuriated and who knows what they'll say next. It's really quite comical.

    Keep them coming, guys. It's the WOV way and daddy manboy will be so proud of his little boys.

    Larry,

    I don't think I mentioned anyone by name, but instead lumped it all together. If I did, I apologize. I understand that this board in is its infancy but, to me personally, it has so much potential to be more with all the big names who signed up at the beginning and who now have not posted in a while. I wish I could get into horse racing but I just cannot do it. Only pro football intrigues me and thatt won't even start until September. Other than that, I am relearning BJ, play craps, UTH, and have interest in slots and VP.

    I guess I better talk about the WoV otherwise this thread may get moved elsewhere. The WoV forum is slowing down compared to last year, but there are still some very helpful and astute posters there. I respect WoN (believe it or not he has very good posts over there), Axel, Rome, KJ (when he was posting over there) among others.

    my suggesstion is instead of being a jack of all trades..is to get good at 2 or 3 max. And get a main game, and then go to your secondary games if you hit a wall at your main game.
    I know its off topic.... I too like to bet NFL....but I findpeoples picks to be useless unless they give a reason behind them.
    When I posted on NFL , Igave reasons for my picks....and will do so during nfl....not as an expert..but as a form of discussion where someone can pick apart my opinion, and maybe get me to change my mind. I am open to having it changed if proper documentation or stats are put forward.

    What is weird is that bb stated herself that people aren't supposed to get banned by what they post on a different website. But she banned him anyways. That's kind of hypocritical, yes? And of course that ams clown jumped in with his standard whine about being attacked somewhere.

    People can be who they want, but I do respect people more who use the same name. Granted it can be copied but it's nice to know who you are talking to. Mr V, Larry, DeMango, KJ, Mickey, Axel and others allow you to have background going in. You have a general idea of where they are coming from and why. Others leave you guessing who they are/were, many times educated guessing on why they feel like they do.

    I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me. That's from the Fifth Amendment, councilor.

    I would consider answering if I was guaranteed not to be banned. Can you fix it with daddy manboy?

    And while you're at it tell him Buzzard is back. It's your chance to ask for the "banhammer" again. Wouldn't that make your day?

    Why would you be banned - if you aren't already- clearly you are hiding something

    I would be banned for my participation on this forum and I want to be able to continue using the PM function over there. I may send you one some day if you behave yourself.

    No one has been banned for speaking here- that's absurd

    If I recall, back when Mike owned WoV, the two forums WoV and DT, were considered linked. When someone was suspended at one they were suspended at both. But when Mike sold WoV, he announced that they were now separate forums and that and a suspension at one did not apply to the other. Plus he actually invited me to participate at DT after I was banned at WoV. So whoever it was that just defended BBB action that it was not a separate forum is 100% wrong. BBB banned someone for something said at a completely separate forum.

    However I don't know why we are surprised at this. Might I remind everyone of this announcement of a banning for something said at a completely different forum, one never previously linked to WoV.

    It is with my much regret that I have to nuke kewlj. Normally we don't consider what goes on at other forums in our suspensions here. However, he has been spreading private and untrue information on other forums based on events here.

    Goodbye kewlj. Thank you for your many valuable contributions to the forum. I wish you well.

    So that sets precedent for Babs to break forum rules/protocol and suspend for something said on an unrelated forum as well. It continues to be a case of over-reach. These people think they can control what is said throughout the internet. Next step will be they will want to control not only speech away from WoV, but actions as well. Maybe they should decide what people can do in their time away from WoV, what organizations they can belong to, where they can worship.
