For those who wish me dead. Actually haters reprise
-
☆Sir I can think of lots more people in this world whose love and respect I desire more than yours. Still nobody likes to be hated even for stupid, petty and spiteful reasons. I'm probably wasting my time but I'll touch base on a few here make of it what you will.
You once said "I know you don't like me" and you're right - I don't.
While I doubt you have internal monolog, that inside voice which asks questions before you talk (post) maybe you should look at this exchange, really this entire thread, and ask yourself 'why?'
☆Possibly, and so what?
This thread really highlights it.
- You are the owner of a Browns forum, a Browns community. Yet you know fuck-all about the game of football.
☆Not unlike most of the posters on the board none of which as far as I know have played on a high level or coached or worked in the front office. I don't I don't claim to be an expert just a fan and I have been for decades.
- You rarely engage/post on the football side.
☆I rarely post at all anymore. Any of the interesting Liberals are gone and there weren't many. And yes my love for the Browns is certainly diminished for the last few regimes especially Jimmy Haslam. I do occasionally find players that I root for whatever reason. They're never here really long enough to form a bond with and I blame management. That slide began maybe a little bit before Bernie and Brian's side.
- You troll your own fan base. Your posts celebrate a player on another team. Almost actively rooting against the Browns. That reminds me, no updates from you since the Bucs went on their losing 3 of the last 4.
☆My own fan base? Anyway you are correct I considered copying and pasting the Buccaneers losses recently. They've had their asses handed to them by some of the best teams in the league. While my Cleveland Browns have beaten two of the worst. It's not that I'm a Buccaneers fan it's just that I think that we f***** up by not keeping Baker Mayfield. And simple and spending the money we wasted on your buddy Watson for other team needs.
- You have the nerve to pop in, complaining *about* people complaining. Mostly revolving around non-existent stuff. Then you hang the shutdown of the board over posters heads like an emotional anchor or ultimatum.
☆Yes that comes up once a year. Renewal time rolls around and I have the option of signing on for another full year on the hook for the entire amount which is siphoned off by the month. Or paying a premium for a month by month which could be canceled at any time. I always seriously consider just pulling the plug on the whole thing but for some reason.. I asked guys not to be assholes but very few listen. And since you asked before I think I wouldn't hand over operations to you because I get the feeling you'd be a vindictive eagle maniac. Lots of guys I haven't turned it over for the same reason no names please. When next fall rolls around and you think you have a fan base big enough to follow you to the promised land get hold of the people who power this board start your own. Or if you think the grass is greener go join the town drunk on Brady Quinn Homo Fan club.
- You say the shutdown isn't related to money, but aggravation of running the board. A poster with the financial and technical skillset has offered to take the whole thing off your hands AND make improvements. Still no word on whether you're going to do the right thing and transfer ownership, or just to just be a dick and allow the site to lapse out of spite.
☆See the above for one answer but look inside yourself as to why you think it would blaps because of spite? I'm hardly ever on the board so if people are losing interest I'd imagine it has a lot to do with you and some of the other pricks who boasted you're better than everybody else and live your lives by the personal Jihad.
But hey, you love complaining about the complaints. At this point I'm convinced it's an effeminate need for attention that some dudes have.
☆Why am I surprised it took you this long to pull out and play the calling the other guy a fag card?
Begs the question - what reason(s) do I have to like you?
☆No idea but I'm not begging for absolution. The things I like about you include the fact that often you post some songs that are outside of my wheelhouse that I can at least appreciate if not enjoy. I think that takes some brains. Seems like we used to have discussions about film but I think you may have let politics get in the way which I blame a big part of our Rift on.
Tl:dr. You're a fucking clown, Steve. Stop whining like a bitch, hand the ownership of the board over and go find a Tampa Bay forum to spew your bullshit on. You bring nothing of value to the greater conversation that is the game of football.
☆Wow you decided to go harsh with your denouement. But I'm not ashamed of liking players in the Mayfield mold. That's why I root for a sports team or not. I do wonder how much of it pisses you off because you're a die-hard Buckeyes fan who is still pissed about the flag at the Horseshoe or the deep down inside you realize that Baker would be a better quarterback than any of the bums we've had in and out of this organization for a long long time. And maybe with your giant football brain you can ask why after all these years we are still talking mock draft halfway through the season.
That it should mean something to you that I picked you to be a moderator because I thought you had something to offer the guys that want to talk football. Not just punish people you have a personal beef with.
Sure some of this might be stream of consciousness but I'm not going to go back and waste time editing. Thanks for listening if you did anybody else that doesn't like me feel free to say so and if that's the case f*** you too hahaha

I don't have a problem with you per say; but you're gonna get your balls busted about Baker. I don't remember you or Cal posting all your love and affection for the guy until the Browns let him go. To sit here and pretend ANY of us didn't root like Hell for the guy when he played for the Browns because you adore him in a Bucs uniform is just silly.
So, here's a little song you can sing to Calfox News the next time he needs to tattle within the next week. You can be Potsie and Cal makes a good Joanie...

The amount of f**** I give about ball busting is really really minuscule. That was an all out multifaceted attack by a guy who thinks way too much of himself.

I suspect they pushed him out of the draft room last April, that's why he left.
We DO know that this year they pushed him out of the Friday coaches meeting where the game strategy was discussed with management / ownership.
To Topic: This is a good forum. We're allowed to color outside of the lines to some extent. There are some that dig a little too hard if you ask me...but...it's like...if you wanna have guns then you've gotta put up with shootings...kind of thing. But since it's not guns and shooting, my only issue is having to scroll through the back & forth bickering now and then. I've never had to complain to a moderator about anyone. But I DO have a few names on my ignore list...and that pretty much solves the issue.

I’ll stick up for Steve here. Sure, call me a kiss ass. That’s what l’d do.
I like the open air. Notice all the funky vibes, yet no one’s getting booted. That’s as good as it gets on the interwebs.
This has always been a rough & tumble spot in my time here, roundabout 10 years now. It’s a goofy OP, but speaks to the importance of why we stick around. I like that about this haunt.
Lay your lumber and blow off steam, it’s fine by me. I gather Steve never wanted the responsibility, but it was laid on him due to death and attrition. This shit happens in life and hats off for picking up the burden.

You are definitely on the short-list of people on here whose work I enjoy thoroughly, in fact, you strike me as a guy who would be cool to get a beer with.
But this take? Nah, not this one.

I don't really get what's going on in the OP at all...
But hard to complain about the burden of running the forum, how hard it is, how mean people are, etc when there are multiple people willing to take it over and you refuse to pass the reigns

I am sorry that people are being mean to you. As hope that I am not. We can agree to disagree. As need to be kind and understanding. Not the first nor will it be the last time I have been on a board that can be not so nice. But it is careful to be nice and understanding.
Hope you can and will stay on here. Love your movie reviews.

Meanness? S***. The only reason I would ever leave here is if it just gets too damn boring listening to these whining little arrogant b******. The Browns really haven't had a quarterback worth hurting for since Mayfield got run out of town. And that's why stuff gets boring.

Seems like the logical way to solve the problem, but apparently they do not really want to do that.

What's wrong? I'll be happy to pass along the name of the guy I deal with at invision. If Tia or the Dutchman or Larry or even you Woody, care to start your own board go for it. We'll find out how many stalwarts take the bait and sign up to follow you. What huge upgrade to either of you guys think it would be just by my absence? Honestly if that's possible for any of you. I can't imagine another boards posters would have more freedom than they have here .

I think you're missing the point. Whether or not another user could do anything "better" isn't the point. The point is that you can't really complain about the burden of running the board when you have a very clear option to remove that burden.

Clicked on my Browns Board bookmark for the first time in months and saw the title of this thread and feared it was another Tour thread when he announced his illness, and I'm really glad it was something else.
^ With that being said, this thread is an example of the reason I no longer participate here and judging from the current game day threads that are now lucky to get to a whopping 3 pages - when they used to break into the 20s, I'm not alone. You've had a thankless job Steve trying to keep the ship afloat and you've done way more than 99% of the forum members.
Man I miss the glory days when Tour was the main poster on this forum, but nothing lasts forever...

I've been here nearly since the beginning, yes it's changed like everything else in life.
Personally, I've tried interacting on game day thread(s) but I just can't do it, I'm too attached to the game to type & pay attention.
Regarding this board/thread, I think it's a combo of the Browns sucking again and a general toxic environment of online behavior everywhere.
You could come back and add to the board, just ignore the toxicity.

And Woody was talking about me so.. anyway the number of unprovoked attacks on me would make me think that you might just give a flying f***, maybe two or three of them. And again if my relatively few posts are so bothersome to you why not just block me?
Or seriously, start your own board with Tia. You too homos could just wish everybody you didn't like out into the cornfield.
