Re: The "rules"...

JayDub · September 10, 2007

So, how about we just hold hands, sing "Kumbaya", and never...EVER...talk about women or talk a little BS like we may actually still have our testicles.

I understand restraint (believe it or not)...I understand not talking in a derogatory manner about our athletes, women, and each other. But, for the love of Christ, Buddha, and Allah** all rolled into one...when did GoMeanGreen.com become a neutered place for girly men where, rather than delete offensive posts...we just lock threads down?

Example one...

Example two...

**(Uh, oh...I hope I didn't offend anyone.)

Never question Bruce Dickenson.

We've got a dynamite sound here. What's the problem?

Eagle1855 · September 10, 2007

well example 2 was locked down because Dodge2007 doesnt subscribe to "board think" , and that apparently rubs some people the wrong way, enough that they resort to name calling... boo hoo...

I'd like to see the thread about What's Hot and What's not opened back up and then combined with the thread about the "belly girls". We can do a letter by letter assessment of what in fact IS hot and what is not.

I'll go ahead and give you the OK on example two...though I would've preferred Emmitts imput first...but please explain the problem with the "Belly Girls." If it wasn't lewd enough to elicit any reprecutions from SMU, Ford Field staff or the Park Cities police...how is it inappropriate for our forum...including the star (whom, btw, would be my my fave from the group) thats ten UNT fans that coordinated a spirit effort...show me the last time thats happened outside of the people who regularly post on this board.

Please don't constrew this as arguing with you...as I can't afford to go a work day without GMG.com...I would simply like some clarification.

And its nice to see some Texas girls...can't wait for homecoming

While I personally didn't lock down example one, the reason likely has more to do with the suggestive commentary than the actual picture. If it was treated more as an appreciation of spirit than a collective oogle fest, it likely would have stayed. However, that is my take. There may have been a deeper issue that I am not aware of.

Thanks for not arguing. I don't think we'd like a day without you, either. Thanks for your support.

Go Mean Green.

Gene Frenkle: Can I just say one thing?

Bruce Dickinson: Say it, baby. Say it.

Gene Frenkle: I'm standing here, staring at Bruce Dickinson!

Bruce Dickinson: The cock of the walk, baby!

Gene Frenkle: And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell!

Bruce Dickinson: Say it, baby!

Gene Frenkle: And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't have a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell.

Bruce Dickinson: I gotta have more cowbell, baby!

Gene Frenkle: ..and I'll be doing myself a disservice -- [begins to slightly laugh. Jimmy Fallon turns away and bites down on his drumstick to keep from laughing] -- and every member in this band, if I don't perform the hell out of this.

Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!

Uh oh that has the word cock in it.

Belly girl thread was locked because, I was told, one of the girls didn't like the comments some of you internet lechers made. Never saw the other thread.

If you disagree with something on the board, don't post about it, send a PM.

Then delete the offensive comments instead of letting the thread die. They obviously had no problem with what they were wearing...nor did they have a problem with the pics being taken.

It's more fun to get you and 'Combs all up ons.

Geez, then don't dress like that and pose for a picture!!! Lock your doors, stay inside, turn off your computer and stay off the Internet, because guess what ladies... the world is not a nice place!

Being willing to have your picture taken doesn't equal wanting in on the interweb.com; Trust me, I have plenty of photos of you you don't want on the internet.

Yeah! And if one of them had gotten raped, it would of been their fault for dressing like that!!!!!

That is a ridiculous argument to try and make. :bangin:

OK... which argument is ridiculous here?

My defense is impregnable. My style is impetuous.

Both of them. That was the point of the ridicule.

So, just to clarify... Hypothetically, if one came down at the half and hangs over the rail to talk to a friend on the field while wearing a mini-skirt and flashing the crowd nearly all her goods, we couldn't take a picture of that and post it on GMG? :ph34r:
