Apparently PN is run by the PRC.

This is starting to get ridiculous. If it isn't the constant infighting on this website, then the mods are becoming obtuse in their handling of things.

I never saw the first one, but commented on the second. If some mod thinks the second was offensive in some way, he/she should get on here and explain themselves. Why hide behind a wall and delete things that you (the mod) thinks are offensive that most of us don't? I didn't see any derogatory use of race in the second, but I'm guessing that's the reasoning (or lack thereof) by the person/people involved.

I was probably one of the last people to post, and I asked for someone to offer some kind of proof that Farley favors black players (which I don't think exists). I also pointed out Farley would be a moron to truly show favoritism regarding color in a state like Iowa which lacks it. GEEEZ, pretty offensive stuff, huh? Even if this topic didn't trigger the deletion, I'll bet there are several people who would like an explanation.

Everyone welcome SyntaxError as the new mod (that's a joke)

Honestly, that thread wasn't going anywhere positive, but an explanation would be nice. Can we just get back to TH & Mudra arguing over who is a real UNI fan?

perhaps the powers-that-be would rather not have that particular topic discussed on here.

Mysteriously deleting threads is not making the problem go away. It is only making it worse, as evidenced by these "what happened to..." threads.

Maybe. I don't see the harm in it, as long as it's not derogatory. I've seen a few things thrown on here that were worse that that, and they were launched at college kids, not professional adults.

I was trying to call people out to show some proof, which would be extremely tough to do. Farley and his staff are paid to win games. Does someone really think that he's going to show rampant favoritism towards certain traits which have zero to do with the success of the player and team? Nobody is perfect, and I'm not saying favoritism has never occurred. You'd think, however, that any rare favoritism has some kind of team gain tied to it. In other words, psuedo quantifiable logic, as opposed to some emotional horse crap or worse - political correctness.

Re: What happened to the 'what happened to the camp update thread' thread?

The thread was moved because it became more about Obama than who our QB is and why.

My understanding of the first thread being removed was because it was a lot of pointless infighting that was completely off topic.

The race conversation is stupid, but if someone wants to have it, I haven't seen anyone "offended" by it.

I'm thinking we need a new category of "9Yr vs mudra vs TH vs Newsy".

That category would probably house half the posts on PN.

I moved the second thread after warning posters to stay with the QB topic and not railroad the thead to be about Obama, but some posters couldn't resist and I don't feel like babysitting.

(This is the opinion of one mod, not Ames or the entire operation, if you don't like it have a warm glass of milk and cry yourself to sleep. )

PM me if you have any questions.

.. My phone left off the at the end.

Some of you are way too big into conspiracy theories. A random poster comes on the board and starts a rumor and here we are a few days later and everyone still believes the rumor. Has anyone tried going to practice to see what's going on? My guess is that you would find both QBs splitting snaps.

Re: What happened to the 'what happened to the camp update thread' thread?

The Obama stuff makes some sense, Traveling. I didn't see any of that so I can't comment. I'm not a fan of his, but why throw his name into it?

By and large, the mods have always done a good job here, IMO. There was some clown a few years ago who basically threatened to take his ball and go home because he didn't like the opinions expressed by some over a political topic (there's where your warm milk is needed). However, that's the only time I can think of where a mod has acted like a jag, or tried to be Mr. Internet Tough Guy.

As far as the infighting, ehhh, so be it. I can understand why it gets old to some, but it can also be amusing. This is especially true of some who get their nuts wound up in a vice whenever the word h___eyes is mentioned. If everybody got along, the world would be a pretty boring place, and history wouldn't be near as interesting.

I would go for this if you would allow for round by round voting by the crowd - posting the scores as you go, unlike boxing.

Re: What happened to the 'what happened to the camp update thread' thread?

Yeah, the Obama stuff did it in. I'm not into politics, so I'm not biased towards either side. It had no place in the conversation.

The infighting is funny when they don't railroad threads. When you're reading a topic and then have to dig through two pages of pointless bickering it can be annoying.

Evidently Rima did his OPR show from the UNI-Dome press box on Tuesday, and during the course of it, he interviewed BOTH qbs. Then today's show featured a discussion about having a 2-qb rotation.

I wasn't able to listen to tuesday's show, and only caught a part of today's show. But it would certainly appear that both QBs are still involved at this point.

The flipside of that is deleting a thread about Obama or anyone else political that takes place in the open forum. As long as nobody is saying something blatantly stupid, threatening, or illegal, then so be it. If a mod doesn't like it, sign him up for your warm milk and cookies club. Since I doubt that Micheal Savage or Keith Olbermann belong to PN, we should be OK.
