Ill never forget what a pillar of strength and character he was during his Mom's long and debilitating terminal illness.
Those where the good years of a young persons life and he had to and did man up. Big time.
I shrug off the rest
Absolutely. Had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with him on several occasions. Very good man who did exactly as you said. Hope you are well, Bill.
But I always got a kick out of the "HowImetyourMook" user name. Pretty sure Mook was aldo near the top of some dupe's "Top 10 Biggest Aholes" list a couple of times. I'd wear that like a badge of honor, though I think CiP was up there too... so maybe he's rethinking his life?

Mook and I were both honored on that list multiple times by the soda man. I remain the only one who came in #1 twice, but he topped me by being named to the top ten twice in the same year. Impressive.

I was going to mention that...TWICE in the top TEN! Quite the achievement.
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve agreed with Mook over the years, and he’s one of my favorites.
If you’re reading, I hope you keep posting. You’re a good dude, and the really generous things you’ve done for people over the years on here don’t go unnoticed.
If you bowed out because of the reason mentioned above, don’t let that dope annoy you.
What was at issue was how to go about registering a complaint. He felt that a call out thread was the way to go. Unfortunately that is against BBI policy. If you have a complaint about another poster, we request that you email the mods about it.
Regarding Fatman. It is not true as jlukes says above that we will not do anything about him. He has been warned and suspended on numerous occasions and sometimes he also voluntarily takes breaks from BBI, which he seems to have done lately.
The issue is not whether we will do anything about complaints about another poster, it is how you go about it. Please refrain from creating threads about it and email the moderators with your issues. Please be specific and link the offending post that you are objecting to. We evaluate every complaint.

Right, but why continue to warn someone that they are an asshole. How many warnings do we give out? Just because he’s a veteran poster? My account was deleted because I started a thread about governor resigning.
FMIC goes around every week and verbally abuses the same people over and over again. But at least he gets his warnings. Clearly he takes those serious.

I'm not sure who you are -- but when Posters get warned, and then suspended, if they do a mia culpa they generally get reinstated. If you create another account to get around this and are discovered, then you will lose that account as well. I suggest that you contact us and tell us who you are and give your mea culpa's and selected one account.

But if you're going to talk shit about someone why not wait until they are actively posting?
A lot of this started with me calling out something directly I thought wasn’t cool. Two mistakes in that:
1) I thought we’d all give each other a hard time, laugh it off, and get back to arguing in good fun. I try not to use truly mean language, but I should refrain from using sarcastic language.
2) The moderators politely reminded me that’s not how they’d like things addressed.
I’ll never go to the moderators and complain about someone behind their back. If discussing things openly isn’t encouraged, I’ll agree to disagree, but not start another call out.

That's the thing. I do not think most of the arguing that goes on is in "good fun". I think a lot gets taken personally which I include myself with that. Although I would rather bury any hatchets than continue to used veiled shots at one another.

Totally agree. I would never resort to such a tactic. I'd rather we bang out any differences here in the public forum.
Wait. Huh? What happened with FIMC? Jimmy Googs? Editing comments?
You guys are so silly that I can never keep up with all of the unexpected series of events around here.
About a week go fmic put up a post that he allegedly fabricated from an archived thread changing the names and words. Using it to try and ridicule Jimmy Googs. Googs was onto him and found the original post and put it back to him but he hasn’t been heard from since.

I’m not sure if you were around BBI in the Wild West days, but people used to be pretty nasty on here, and it spilled into the real world.
When FMiC says my posts are ponderous, and I call him Kool Aid Man, and he calls Googs clowns shoes, and Googs posts the escape hatch — I’m pretty sure we’re all just kidding around. I sure know I am.
As far veiling shots — I agree. Eric used to describe BBI as a digital bar where we razzed each other — but knew when to stop. I think most of us, including you adhere to that.
When I called him out, I figured he’d own up to his bad joke, tell me
to go to hell, and we could get back to arguing over Dave Gettleman. Who we all know is the real villain = )

Figured that might be it. That’s too bad, hope he comes back.
If he stays away it will be a loss for BBI.
Everything is the worst or the best, there's no in between, haha.

To you and yours as well.
Not happy to see him go.
Agree. It just aint what it used to be, but nothing is.
I remember once sending him a VHS copy of a Giant Game he had missed and he never thanked me.
So I don't care.

Hopefully he returns.

CIP in the top 10 ... Twice!! Lol great memories

Keith Richards stated he and Ronnie Wood had that “ancient form of weaving” and I believe that holds true for both Keef and Wood and Mook and Terps.
regardless, though both a bit harsh and one-sided in their opinions, I suspect I would enjoy having a beer with either of them.

Yes. At least Terps is a bit more realistic in his opinions of the team.
Mook's idea was straight out of a Madden franchise.

Can I call-out myself? Sometimes I can be an ass.
A few of us eagerly await our Fat friend's return.
His explanation for allegedly editing an old post from Googs should be quite entertaining.

Those were the days. That's when BBI had grit and real personality. Brass knuckles and switchblades. It was kill or be killed...
Now? It's just soft and sensitive with the cricks of the world... ;)
I'm sure it was meant as a harmless joke.
I mean, who hasn't dug up old posts and edited them to make a poster look bad... ;)
