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.

Has anyone considered that

Banning him generated a lot of page views and clicks as this drama has unfolded? Isn’t the goal to get people talking when you run any business in the realm of entertainment? You all really think Ben Affleck dated J Lo or maybe the studio wanted to save its ass by generating a story to get people to watch a movie. People like Stephen A Smith have jobs because they stir the pot and get the rabble rousers out to call in or write in how much they hate him.

Negative coverage is still coverage which makes people in charge do seemingly heavy handed (sorry Jordan) and silly things. It creates a controversy which stirs up a hornets nest which gets people.....talking! Bottom line, this was good for business. It does not have to be sensible.

if that's the case, which no doubt it's the truth, then Eric should allow political posts..thats the mother of all hotbed, click generating, controversial topics ... Boom!
All the talk about 'groveling' seems weird to me.

If admitting that you did something stupid and apologizing for it is groveling, I guess I groveled. Personally, I don't see it that way. We all do dumb stuff. Own it and move on.

I have no idea whether the ban-hammer has been wielded in a completely fair and balanced way. That seems like an awfully high standard; Eric and the other mods aren't wearing black robes.

the best cheesesteak places in Philly - that's the only way to know for sure whether Chris is back.
There's only one explanation for Cippy's silence

that thread is still up.

It's hard to discuss what is going on in Saudi Arabia (which is HUGE) without bringing in domestic politics


Eric - I guess what I am expressing is regret that those threads no longer have legs. Some used to go off the rails and get deleted, but many stayed on the front page for days and had a lot of good commentary. That thread headed for page 2 in an hour or two, and while resurrected once or twice, never got the comments that similar threads in the past got.

So is that why you're here?
