JayDub Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted 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.)
greenminer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Never question Bruce Dickenson.We've got a dynamite sound here. What's the problem?
Eagle1855 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted 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.

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

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.

Cerebus Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 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.

JayDub Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 Belly girl thread was locked because, I was told, one of the girls didn't like the comments some of you internet lechers made.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.If you disagree with something on the board, don't post about it, send a PM.It's more fun to get you and 'Combs all up ons.
UNTflyer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 The thread was locked because someone didn't like a comment made about them?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!
Cerebus Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 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.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.It's more fun to get you and 'Combs all up ons. Fair Warning: Matt is going to eat your children.
MeanGreenEngineer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Geez, then don't dress like that and pose for a picture!!!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.
UNTflyer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 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. OK... which argument is ridiculous here?
mad dog Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Fair Warning: Matt is going to eat your children.My defense is impregnable. My style is impetuous.
JayDub Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 I find that picture to be offensive.
MeanGreenEngineer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 OK... which argument is ridiculous here?Both of them. That was the point of the ridicule.
Cerebus Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 I find that picture to be offensive.I suggest you use the button and bring it to the attention of the admins.

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?
yyz28 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 I suggest you use the button and bring it to the attention of the admins.ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...you'd have to be an admin on your own board to find that funny, probably, but that's just uberclassic!I feel your pain brother.
