I'm still kicking *** and taking names.
Steel Vanguard, you and I seem to be pretty closely aligned in our political views, from what I can tell based on your posts. Believe me, I've faced the wrath of the right wing majority here. Certain posters, notably IndySteel, has in my view crossed the line several times with personal attacks et al. I was offended at first, but after a while I chose to take the high road. If anything, that was a sign that it's okay to 'hit back' with certain posters, stand your ground, and maybe take a few swings back. That's what men do. I myself have probably gone a bit too far from time to time.
But I've got to tell you, your personal attacks on oneforthebus are totally unacceptable. First, you're talking to a lady, for crying out loud. If you're a real man, you'd never talk to a lady like that. It's as simple as that.
Second, it's everyone's choice to visit this board, to participate in the discourse. It's a community of Steelers' fans, that's the common bond between us all. We come from all walks of life, different races, different religions and political views. To attack fellow posters in the manner you do, again, is unacceptable.
My rule of thumb for posting on the internet, is act the way you would when getting together with people in a bar, or at a picnic or a barbecue. In what world do you live in that would allow you to speak to oneforthebus, or even Supe, in the manner that you do? You'd have guys swinging at you within minutes, me included.
You're evidently a proud black dude (I guess), all the power to you. But no real man brags about his sexual exploits the way you do. That tells me you're probably fantasizing about all the things you'd like to do. The young blondes, all the tail that you get. Who the **** gets on the internet with complete strangers and brags about **** like that?
Getting back to this board, there's got to be a basic level of respect and decorum in the way we treat each other. Even if we're diametrically opposed in our political views. But you've crossed the line in a manner that has nothing to do with politics. It's about basic human decency and more than anything, being a man.
I don't know if you'll be banned or not, don't really care. You've done plenty in my book to be banned for life, not just here, but in any online community.
My advice to you is to man up. The world doesn't revolve around you and your Ron Jeremy porno fantasies. If you want to be a part of this thing, take the higher ground and start treating people - especially the ladies - with respect. Respect given = respect earned.
Hope you get your **** together.
