NFT: Chris in Philly

Matt M. : 11/9/2017 2:08 pm
Maybe I missed the explanation, but myself and a few other posters asked what happened to Chris in Philly when it was mentioned he was banned last week. There was even a thread, which I can no longer find, dedicated to this inquiry at one point. But, again, I never saw an explanation and I would very much like to know as he is a long time poster I enjoy reading.

Seriously, Chris has always been a top-notch poster on BBI and has posted some seriously funny stuff over the years. Bah.
He should have posted fake news  
Mr. Bungle : 11/9/2017 2:12 pm : link
about the Giants instead.
He's in a timeout  
Beer Man : 11/9/2017 2:16 pm : link
Give his legendary status on BBI, I'm sure he has as many lives as RockyT.
Say what you want about CiP

FREE CHRIS IN PHILLY
Should we take a poll  
Post Time : 11/9/2017 2:20 pm : link

I posted before, I reached out to Chris and asked him to stop posting political stuff. He chose not to respond.
If Chris in Philly isn't reinstated

then I'm leaving too! FREE CiP!
hopefully  
Les in TO : 11/9/2017 2:28 pm : link
he is just cooling off. he's a long time and valued poster, not to mention artist!
I don't like his political views  
lawguy9801 : 11/9/2017 2:33 pm : link
but damn, I loved his comics he created during and after the SB XLVI run. I actually printed them out and read them with my kids as bedtime reading.

No matter the eventual outcome  
Frank in Silver Spring : 11/9/2017 2:53 pm : link
He's in the BBI Hall of Fame for his artwork alone. The school bus with Tiki, Eli and Coughlin was memorable. Plus, he steered many of us away from tourist-trap Philly cheesesteaks and toward the real thing.

Come back to us, Chris...

Or Jerruh World Amusement Park. And speed lines!
What he didn't do was call someone a SnowFag  
jcn56 : 11/9/2017 2:56 pm : link
he would still be here if he just understood how to discuss politics - like someone at a third grade literacy level.
Is that really a thing...?

That's almost as bad as "jerkface dweeb". I guess it's obvious that I missed the political correctness angle on this term...
I guess...

CiP's exclusive clique is too busy talking politics than mustering up the strength to fight the Reich to get him back.

I don't understand how politically "insensitive" comments

Can even offend anyone anymore. Both political sides fucking blow. Dems, reps, what's the difference? How can anyone be offended? They both fucking suck!
During the bye week, I tried to get banned...

Thank you Eric. I never saw your post(s) about this and any inquiries I saw about this were unanswered...at least during the time I was reading the threads they were on. I hope CiP is back soon.
Well if CiP were free

that's the same kind of crap that got Chris in trouble (and he did it more than a few times) and now you are doing it. Consider this a warning.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to accomplish here.

Isn't it obvious Eric? It's a revolt against the norms of BBI, by some of BBI's very best.

We'll that's not a battle they are going to win.

If they don't want to be here, they can leave voluntarily or we can help them along.

I'm glad that politics is banned...  
BamaBlue : 11/9/2017 5:09 pm : link
when informed and intelligent people discuss politics with the intent to express their beliefs, it is interesting. The diatribes here don't have any of the necessary ingredients for an adult conversation... it's hate, emotion and junior high school level branding. Not surprising, this isn't the Brookings Institute or Hillsdale College...

I believe this to be true - and the net result is not a positive for BBI.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/9/2017 5:32 pm : link
No, it's not good for BBI.

They think they can go all scorched earth here and take down BBI. The thing is this: I don't care. This started off in 1995 as a labor of love that eventually turned into a business. But I've always said that once it becomes too emotionally expensive to run, I'm out. I've had a great run with the site and hope to keep it going for another decade, but I can walk away.

So I have nothing to lose by banning children who want to keep testing one of the few rules I have in place. If they somehow sabotage the site, I guess they can enjoy their time at Giants.com or some other Giants website, but that's on them.

But they are not going to pressure me to change the rules by constantly misbehaving and testing me.

Take personal responsibility for your own actions.

ve never understood why, when people grew tired or dissatisfied with the site, they tried to get banned or emailed the mods and asked to have their account deleted. Why not just not open the site. It’s not like the account takes up space or prevents others from joining. What’s the point of active removal?

Agree, it is bizarre. I can't imagine going to a site, navigating to the forum, logging in, and then asking to be have my account removed. You aren't getting spam in your email by having an open account. Just go to one of the hundred other sites

Eric, truer words couldn't have been spoken!! Unfortunately, the mentality of the " Entitled" is running rampant on this web-page, some people would refer to them as Democrats.

Let's face it, the Giants are a New York Team, a big portion of the fan base in the Tri-State area is full of a progressive mentality. They think the world revolves around their feelings and ideas, however, it doesn't.

I think you're doing a wonderful job here and look forward to the insightful information that I find.

Thank You

Not that it bothers me or that I give a shit, I find it incredible that the mere mention of Manafort and Moore in a post leads to a little warning of "that's what got CiP kicked off"

But this garbage post which is goes above mentioning individuals but is overtly political against "Democrats" and "progressive" isn't ban-worthy... simply a "nice post that doesn't help"

Don't care and I don't think your biased with you ban in terms of politics but it's definitely inconsistent in your response alone.

Sounds like Liverwurst cracked the code! Democrats and progressives are entitled pussies! That's a hot fucking take you got there, brotha.

Fucking stupid and fucking idiotic.
