Figured that might be it. That’s too bad, hope he comes back.

Mook was a long time member of BBI. Sad to see him go.
Mook is a good guy

sucks that he left
Sorry to See Mook Go  
Jim in Tampa : 9/10/2021 9:07 am : link
I know that some thought he was a "negative" poster, but I thought he offered an objective viewpoint.

If he stays away it will be a loss for BBI.
I'll miss him exorting every team to "clean house"

Had a love hate relationship with him. We liked many of the same teams...NYG, ND football, UNC hoops...but he was a bit too haughty at times.

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.

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.

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.
Sorry to hear this...

Mook was a poster I always stopped to read when I scanned through a thread. A fun read always...

Was he banned?
I too like MookGiants and know him well  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/11/2021 1:44 pm : link
He did ask to have his account deleted.

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.
MookGiants was someone I liked to read as well.  
chick310 : 9/11/2021 2:26 pm : link
So the loud mouth that just went into the archives and created a fake post was also the reason Mook left? Shocking.

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.

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.

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 = )

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... ;)
