If Landlord had been permabanned for that status update, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now? Or there would be a different name in the conversation? I'm confused.
Mayhaps An Explanation Be In Order?

That escalated far beyond what it ever should have but that was just as much due to other posters running with it as it was on me. I went to bed and woke up to like 60 updates.
Regardless, I was reprimanded for it.

It's so much fun when everyone takes up entrenched positions. *spins in chair yelling "weeeeeee!"*

Just couldn't resist the allure of this thread, eh?BlitzFirst said:

I guess I'm a little late to the party and don't have the slightest clue what's going on. My only thoughts are this: I enjoy coming to Huskerboard to get inside info on the Huskers, but when people become so attached to the board that their life is affected by something that happened online on an anonymous message board (which I'll admit has happened to me before), maybe it's time to take a step back and evaluate their life.

I'm late to the party and saddened myself.
Sounds like a banning episode on a non-sports board I used to frequent. Strong personalities and well-meaning administrators were involved. We were asked, even begged not to question the decisions made, but when the facts came out there was indeed some thin skin, inconsisitency and personal agendas involved. It was understandably maddening that the banned posters weren't allowed to explain themselves on the board, and had to accept "they know what they did" as an explanation beyond reproach. Some otherwise very nice people were not exactly honest about stuff.
Maybe that didn't happen in this case. I don't know.
But banishments, censorship and secrecy end up making a lot more work for mods and admins than cool down periods and self-policing.
If personal privacy was wittingly violated and liability issues involved, that's another story.
That other board continued. Some welcomed the banishments. Some thought it opened the board for more civil discourse. But it turned out those banned posters and their friends were a lively bunch, and the board got a whole lot less interesting and active without them.

Agreed. It's too bad that some of the other, later banned posters got pulled into it. I'm still not sure that I know what some of the later banned guys did to get the boot.
