Scott Bennett discussion thread

[Juice Brohnston]

The difference is in the perception people may have. Mine changes, knowing a mod here is a moderator of an Official board. Especially when this board has a very Mike vs Brian population. Again, moderating is a thankless task, and a necessary one. I certainly am not saying this creates a pro Brian bias, but it could. I dunno, it would be interesting to hear how most people feel about it.

The accusation being levied is that since GF is a mod on the Bloo, then he must be on Brian's payroll. A reverse twist on the "Mike's payrool"  claims levied against AGD.

Man, if it was only that easy...I am barely on my job's payroll these days.

Back on topic, from the Claremore (OK)  Daily Progress, here is an article written by someone who attended the trial.

Come on, just not true. It's more about how the moderator behaves there versus here. It's Brian's board there, so less is tolerated, especially of the negative variety. I think the big issue here is that Craig forces his pro-Brian stance on us, but doesn't carry that over to Mike or the rest of the guys. Mods need to be consistent. The other issue is he takes sides in arguments. For us, we are never really sure when he is being a mod Craig or a regular member Craig. If you take on the mod role, then every time you are in here you are on mod duty, hence mods shouldn't take sides.

Jason took sides all the time. Where was the outrage from your quarters there?

Thanks for that... so he was drinking on stage, AND took Vicodin. Certainly hope he wasn't driving or anything either.

And Jason resigned when he knew people weren't happy with him. Look, we all have our biases. All I am asking for is to be consistent. If you are gonna be strick about Brian, then be strick about the same things with Mike, Al, etc.

Well, sh*t, Jason called pro-Brian people sociopaths. I haven't seen GF call pro-Mike people that (nor should he)

[SMiLE Brian]

Guitarfool is a great guy and even better moderator.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Are we really sharing conspiracy theories about the moderators of this forum?  Don't we have anything better to do? 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Apparently not

[SMiLE Brian]

Well Billy is secretly batman.

LOL

[Douchepool]

You guys need to loosen the tinfoil hats a bit...it's going to cut off whatever blood still flows to your brains.

[Tab Lloyd]

Bullshit. NOBODY is immune to any criticism. I call it like I see it, always have and always will.  If it was off limits to criticize Brian, don't you think the Bubs/Dudd thread would've been shut down?

To stoke the conspiratorial fires, I believe the Bubs/Dudd thread was indeed locked a few days ago.

Just checked and you're right.  I didn't realize it was locked.  That's very disappointing.

I didn't lock it, and neither did GF.  I actually didn't know that it was locked until earlier. Gonna reopen it.


edit...


 I just reopened it, and went to check the mod log to see who locked it. Sure enough...there was no indication it was locked...until 11:10 PM central time. Which is the time I re-opened it. What the actual f***?!

[Douchepool]

Jason took sides all the time. Where was the outrage from your quarters there?

Yup, without apology. Of course, it was part and parcel of being a FAN first and a moderator of a message board a very distant second. Last time I checked I also didn't ban or censure members for insulting or disagreeing with me (gotta take whatcha dish out, y'know). Your argument, I dare say, has negligible merit.

Actually it has considerable merit, because GF is the same way (fan first, and also hasn't banned or censured members for insulting or disagreeing), and is catching sh*t for it when he really shouldn't be. Just because someone is a mod doesn't mean they all of a sudden stop being passionate. That was Andy's point!

[Douchepool]

I misread him. My mistake.

[alf wiedersehen]

I locked my thread, and I would ask that it stay that way.
Additionally, is it possible to get rid of Ognir Rrat's post? I ended my thread the way I wanted it to end.

Ok..mystery solved
