Thanks. I like JI, just being hounded by a particular mod who's got it in for me. Time to branch out. I'm told this is a place that will appreciate my skills. SAR I
Fair question, honest answers: 1. I've been unfairly banned, not interested in being deprived of the ability to post my thoughts on the Jets and have good debate with Jets fans for a few weeks. Cracked a joke to friends who knew better, they decided to play the "I'm taking his sarcasm seriously this time" game, got a mod who shouldn't be a mod to target me, boom, I'm banned. Bad mod, quick ban-finger, and an inconsistent approach to who gets punished. Not a good scene right now. 2. After 5 years, the board is beginning to sour over there for a few reasons, hope they haven't infected TGG in the same way. You've got a mix of guys who've been there forever who like to mock everyone, a nasty sort of clique. At the same time, you've got all these newbs who don't understand what a discussion forum is, act like the place is Twitter. Endless threads with one line comments, just newbs shouting at the sky, not really contributing, Tweeting instead of debating. 3. My posting style relies heavily on having a good sense of humor, understanding sarcasm, and having a grade school education. 4. Lastly, I like the idea of a new audience. I like being appreciated. And I always am. SAR I
You should get along just fine as long as you take as well as you give. People who like to throw punches without expecting one back usually have a tough time here.
Thanks, and no worries from me. I never engage in personal attacks, only attack subject matter. Because what I post tends to provoke emotion, often posters who reply to me cross that line and don't mind. Very thick skin. I'm told the mods here are fair and balanced, so I'm sure I'll be no bother and fit in just fine. If there's any way to get around the 50 post rule before you can start a thread, I'd appreciate it. I'm very wealthy, so I can pay for that privilege if it's an option. I've got 10 in the last hour, will save me the trouble of saying up until 1:38 to cross the threshold. SAR I
I recognize your name from usenet, alt.newyorkjets or whatever circa 2000. I must recognize it for a season, since I couldn't name too many others. I just can't recall exactly what that reason is ; ) Welcome!
alt.sports.football.pro.ny-jets was the prehistoric Jets forum on text-only usenet. Was on there from 1994-2006 before it became a ghost-town and I discovered Jets Insider. Was a lot of fun back in the day. Looking forward to contributing here. SAR I
Ah, but I'm actually rich in real-life which is sort of fun. I like my BMW because it makes me feel good when I drive it, is at it's performance peak when it's sitting still in a WalMart parking lot. Lease will be up soon, have to get something bigger as my kids are getting older and their soccer and football gear takes up too much room. To show you that I can relate to the common man, my wife drives a Honda Odyssey, so I'm not completely special. SAR I
At least you didn't start talking about the size of your cock or your beautiful supermodel wife. I guess that's something.
Whoa, we can type curses here? That's a completely new paradigm for me, very cool. Penis size is decently above average but not porn-star. Wife is not supermodel in looks, but she's a VP with a major-league annual salary which trumps supermodel any day. And, besides, with her incremental income I can get an 18 year old $500 rental in any hotel room in America a few times a month. It's all good. SAR I
It's a shame Joe Jets doesn't post here anymore... you guys could exchange stories about eating buluga caviar on your yachts.
Nah, I do well financially but wouldn't waste $1,300 on a scoop of fish eggs. Not interested in boating, wouldn't go near a yacht either. Had an event on a little Hobie Cat, scarred me for life from an aquatic standpoint. SAR I
