Ultimatum Time

Ah, the 72 post boy wonder is telling us how to handle the community.
Thanks newb.
You've missed the point. The quality of the discussion has erroded. This is largely an affinity board.
When certain Steeler fans got to be too much of an annoyance..... they got banned.
I think the standard should be the same for certain Oregon State fans. That's all.

I don't even know who you were talking to as I am working backwards at this point. but Newb???
Message boards have been around a while now...I wasn't a "Newb" the day I made my first post on this board.

Don't you think that's from a result of what Mike is upset with (OP)??
Before Lumberg came on the scene, DA never got it any worse than Frye would when he'd tuck it & take a sack.
I agree....it was like the love-fest from lums forced (yeah, I know, our choice) people to re-hash the problems with DA...more than was necessary.
I for one found myself burying DA almost daily, when in fact I still see a lot in the guy that intrigues me. I really would love to see a guy with his arm strength behind center...if he would just not turn the ball over so frequently...and that may be just a year or so away (maybe this year).
So, instead of debating his merits....many of us ended up bashing him far more than necessary because of the excuses made for him.
Also, just because some of us are wondering what Quinn can do (not saying he would be better, just wondering if), we didn't deserve to be lumped in with a bunch of pink jersey wearing teenage girls. Shep and I had some pretty heated discussions about the merits of even DRAFTING Quinn...much less being in love with the guy...and I am often lumped into that category by good ol' lummy.
If he was even half a Browns fan...and had an inkling of the people on this board...he would understand that I am one of the guys who wanted anyone BUT Quinn at #3 that year...and was as happy as a hound in fox season when we took Thomas.
But, that is beyond his ability to understand...and flies in his ability to rant on others. Backing a player is one thing, but attacking others just because they see the faults in said player is entirely different.

Peen, I was talking to the guy with 72 posts. (Razor1414)
He responded, and I thanked him. We moved on.
Diehard, don't fret. The old timers love me.

Ditto.
Thomas was my pick at #3 too. The only debate for me was Peterson and I'm still not yet sold that we missed as I want to see another two years of high productivity from Peterson to concede a "miss".
Didn't want any QB at number 3 considering our needs that year. I sure as hell wasn't convinced we were set at QB either, just felt we were a year away from drafting a QB.
-
I think about 75% of the Browns fan base would have collectively vomitted if they selected Quinn at 3 with having only Kevin Shaffer to protect his blind side. It would have felt like Tim Couch all over again.
I was hoping the Browns would go for Peterson and I didn't like Thomas too much at the time. I was too afraid of the Robert Gallery / Mike Williams type of picks and even though Thomas isn't the same style as those two, it was hard for me to come to grips with selecting a left tackle at 3 when there was already a ton of money invested into Shaffer, Bentley and -- that offseason -- Steinbach.
I thought it was a solid pick afterwards but never imagined that he'd make the pro bowl his first two years.
-
Thomas was a great pick. Rare for us actually.

5 pages of this bullshit? i'd say thats owned. if the board changes as a result of a single poster pissing everyone off...thats a troll.
you all fail at the internets.....

I'll never understand people who believe pissing everyone off is "success."How big of a failure at real life do you have to be to get to that point? So the teenagers ruining the movie for everyone else are successes? Because that's how I think of Lums. He isn't here to discuss, persuade, or be part of a community. He's here to be a dick.
And I do disagree with Zombo: Lums is NOT a Browns fan. He hates any Browns fan who doesn't love Derek Anderson. I've never read a single post from him gushing about his other favorite players or how excited he is for this or that... just one post after the other bashing Quinn and Quinn Fags. That's it. Nothing else.
I honestly, truly never got the point of his existence. This is NOT a public board. It's private. I would revoke his membership.
hey hey hey now Shep.... I do remembering hm pimping "Big Bad Hank Fraley" once.... Look how that turned out for him.
Not that I disliked Fraley, but liking or disliking isn't the point I am trying to make here.

Welcome in, Mr Also-Owned-For-Posting-In-This-Thread, the water's warm.

I'm with mz the pussy, Peen, Inspecta, Shep, Masters and Zombo.
And the guy who brought up the number of "thanks" he's received.
Every opinion was wonderful.
God I hate the thanks button.
Hey, is there a way we could sell/give our hard-earned thanks to another person? Like sell (forget the give thing) them to someone in need if they were deep in a thread that turned ugly and they were going against someone with a zillion thanks? Maybe use paypal or something?

Puke. I actually just read the whole damn thread.
I want to sit in the Lumberg account chair for a few days dammit.
Chaos would be everyones last concern, please give me a chance.
Screw banning your puppet, lets reward the good posters with an opportunity to be Lumberg for a day or two.
I'll admit as a new member last year i was encouraged to post after reading Lumbergs crap, now i do feel as if i've been abused.
But i'll continue just like my wedding day vows.

Oh, dear God. My teenage son's stupidest friends just found the board.you are who you hang out with. i wouldnt tell anybody if i was you. like the apple didnt fall to far from the tree thing.

The Browns Board is thick with drama, I see.
Truth is, mz the pussy wants to back out of our bet. He's wising up and realizes the stains are a 4-win team this year.
Smart man.

Lums is a defending his favorite player. Big difference.
Zombo
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit,,,,,
Anytime facts are presented he avoids them. Anytime he is presented with things DA needs to work on or is simply piss poor at, he turns it into a Quinn bashing post. There is no debating with him, so there is no defending DA with him. He does not defend DA at all, but simply bashes anyone who does not support DA.
The fact that so many people engage him is because it is a message board - all boards have a mob mentality to trolls. Feeding trolls is part and parcel of a board.
What is this guy adding that mods can't delete his account? What standard are you trying to defend by leaving him in place? It is utterly f*ucking rediculous that very good posts are completely ruined by his baiting. Very good posters do not add their intelligence on subjects because he has derailed them.
The joke is over. Either delete the account or allow the board to lose valuable members.
What have the mods been waiting for?? Why are you allowing this completely useless member to stay? Pull the f*ucking trigger already. The board is split on BQ and DA anyway - he doesn't represent the only torch holder for DA.
God why is this even a debate?
"I will not insult your intelligence by suggesting you really believe what you just said." William F Buckley -
This is about the Nth thread I've seen that was about Lumburgh without him even showing up in person 'til the second page of the thread. If so many posters weren't so infatuated with talking about Lumburgh, he'd be greatly marginalized. Those of you who continue talking about him are inviting the shit on yourselves.

"Either delete the account or allow the board to lose valuable members." OK guys. I'll leave that up to ATE. I can't delete accounts, or block ISPs.
There's a certain species of troll that's not about board disruption per se. That's Tom V.'s domain, and why he's not here anymore. There are guys that want to show how skillfully they can defend a certain position, and Lums falls into that category. LOL, politicians are great at not responding to direct questions, and spinning the facts to suit their agenda. You want to talk REALLY obnoxious? Way back, when the Browns were spirited away by the Evil One, all we had for universal messaging was a thing called USENET. There's only one guy that I've ever mailblocked, and that's [email protected] the guy was only not even a Browns fan, but not even a FOOTBALL fan. 12,000 posts justifying why it was OK for Baltimore to steal the Browns. As you can see Lums has a long way to go to catch up- maybe I'm just getting too old in that regard, having seen what totally unfiltered trolldom can wreak. Hells bells, it got to the point we wanted to organize a posse and head to Glen Burnie, Maryland to burn the suckers house down.
So yeah, there is a line where it morphs from an exchange of opinions into a debate contest. Believe me, I HATE debate contests. For our younger members- this rule hasn't changed in 15 years on the Internet- if you don't want to get sucked into a debate contest, DON'T reply to a guy that's here strictly to debate!
Easier said than done- it took me years to resist the urge.
So if you guys really, really hate Lums, PM me, and I'll start deleting him.

Hoorta,
when you put it that way....what the hell. Lums will disappear one day, if he doesn't so what. Did I mention I heart boobs....?
Better than failing at life I guess.....
