How I'm sure some of us felt about Polo after Wisconsin (why's the rum gone?!) and Bo's firing.

You mean the last sentence, "There'll be no living with her after this." LOL. Yeah.

Yeah, mostly that haha!

Had to +1 Polo just now.

DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS LAST WEEK HAS DONE TO ME!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Was it the Karl Welzein post? I bet it was.

Is this forever? Is the dragon slayed for good?

 

[StPaulHusker]

I hope not. I thought he was a good poster. Rarely agreed with him but had far more good posts than bad.

Cant really disagree. I know he cant stand me but he was one of the better posters on here. Just needed to drop the attitude a bit.

Something smells fishy. Must be polo's cologne (desperation)

I'm not a fan of seeing folks being permabanned, but I'm also not a fan of unwarranted trolling and personal attacks.

Polo is probably a good guy in person and he's far from an unintelligent idiot, but I think there was correlation between his rise in popularity and the decline in enjoyment of Huskerboard for a lot of long time posters over the last year.

He had a unique and intelligent offering to most discussions. Problem was he was far too biased to concede any hint of being wrong.

I had him on ignore for the last few weeks. His comment about Bo using sick kids to further his image really irked me.

Maybe I missed a lot of what he said that was so offensive and unforgiveable but I think people need to have thicker skin.

If one person has a problem with you, the problem is between you and that person. If a few people have a problem with you, it's possible the problem is you.

When a large number of people have a problem with you, the problem is almost certainly you.

I've said that time and again to people. I've done my best to reason with a lot of people who are no longer on this board. For some reason, that concept just doesn't sink in.

If anyone has thick skin, it's the person that everyone has a problem with. Such thick skin that it cannot sink in that they are part of the problem - it won't penetrate their thick hide. That's not on the rest of the board, that's on them.

Well said Knapp.

That's not to say that I'm glad Polo is gone. I'm not. I like the guy, a lot. But the board is bigger than him, bigger than anyone. And the better decision for the board has to be made, every time. If I start pushing people out the door with my behavior, they'll axe me, too. And that'll suck, but that will also be the right decision.

Loath as I am to share private messages, I'll share a snippet of a conversation between me & Polo from a couple months ago. Stuff wasn't working out so well for me on the non-HuskerBoard part of life at that time, and we talked about it a bit. He ended with this:

Godspeed, kimosabe. Get well and get your house in order. You've got a friend in NorCal. And if I can help, I will.

It really sucks a$$ to have a guy like that gone from the board. But it's a decision that had to be made. And I support the Admins in making that decision, because I know how sh**ty it was to make the call.

And that's all I have to say about that.
