    i don’t hate you rube
    but i do hate that you choose to make your grievances with me public rather than just sending me a pm
    i’ve brought this to your attention multiple times and told you it probably makes other posters uncomfortable
    so you either don’t listen or don’t care

    about your deleted post in the tucker thread…
    i initially soft deleted it because it was political and off-topic, but mostly because it was the thread’s first response and i didn’t want it skewing the thread before anyone had a chance to respond
    then i thought about it and figured might get butthurt, so i undeleted it
    turns out i was right

    so much more i could respond to but i choose not to expose the posters to this bullshit

    of course you were right

    no need to lie about how you got there though
    you asked me not to PM you anymore because it made you uncomfortable
    i always been respectful to you and whatever you ask

    if you dont hate me why even delete such a tiny little post?
    and if you did why not PM me about it?
    and if you then thought i might get butt hurt why didnt you PM me about it then?
    and as much as you ask me to PM you after you do something out of pocket dont you think its kinda rich when it should be you PMing me?

    dont you think it weird you demand of me to do for you what you have proven not to do for me?

    but hey you kept telling me to not talk about what was going on with the DSP in the forums so I stopped talking about it.
    and you have since then been piling on whenever someone has anything nasty to say about me

    So why didnt I PM you? lol
    Because you dont want to hear from me Irish.
    You didnt want to hear from me when I was asking why my admin rights were stripped,
    Why i couldnt access the back end anymore?
    Why my access to the server was denied.
    Why the website that I shared with you and all of you was no longer being shared with me.

    Why?
    Because you didnt want to hear it.
    Nobody else wanted to hear it.
    So i complied and i took the L.
    I never mentioned it again.

    Yet i never stop helping where I can.
    Even if i get laughed at and ridiculed or at best ignored for my efforts.
    I can live with that.
    I still gonna do my job.
    The correct way.

    When I delete something its not because im afraid they will derail my thread.
    If i delete a post its because im trying to bring the heat down.
    And I am effective.
    Many times the member will never see the post saying the most vile things that another poster aka Finksi has said because i DELETE it before they can see it.
    That way the shit doesnt escalate.

    And I then send Finksi an automated PM letting him know that this is an auto PM alerting him of the deletion.
    No chastisement, not even a peep. Just a standard alert of what I did to his post.
    So as to help him Finksi not have to wonder what happened to his post.

    You didnt do any of that.
    Maybe you just arent used to moderating.
    You arent suppsoed to show your feelings through it.

    Now I know im still gonna get cussed out by Finksi.
    And I dont respond back.
    Even when he comes here and lies about the interaction.
    I also made a post in the mod forum.
    Like always you ignore it.
    I didnt go and tell you guys any of the details because you failed to respond to the post.
    But imma tell you that Finksi was not too happy with me letting him know that i deleted his post.

    What is it that you want from me?
    I took the L.
    I got over it and stopped complaining about what happened.
    I dont know what happened and you all told me to shut up about it so i did.
    Now you keep telling me to shut up again.

    You deleting my what 5 or 7 word post that said nothing about you or nothing bad about anyone was chickenshit and you know it.
    It was just a little quip about the fact that the name Tucker belongs to two people in the news right now.
    There was no reason to moderate it at all.
    Of course you were expecting a Rube style post after that.
    You arent a retard. You know what is what.
    So you figured out you were doing something bad and you undeleted it.
    Good for you. You should have sent me a PM like a mod is supposed to.
    Instead of coming here passive aggressively.
    In the public forum asking me to take it to PM.
    Do you hear yourself?
    Instead of PMing me about keeping it private.
    Because you are not trying to actually protect the virgin eyes of our nubile innocent members.
    You are trying to do whatever it is you call this shit.
    Basketball Reasons?

    You know who you give jaywalking tickets to when they in your town right?
    Not the people you consider your friends. Not the ones you like.
    Shit your friends you let them drive drunk and you even give them an escort home.
    Imma give you a clue who the ones that get random tickets in Rancho Palos Verdes.
    Its not the locals.
    Imma give you a clue who the ones that get their cars keyed up and tires punctured.
    Its not the locals.
    So maybe the one that needs the clue is me.

    You obviously the one that is butt hurt for some reason.
    I did nothing but give you all the trust in the world.
    We never had crossed words.
    You were always right there next to me the whole way.

    Until today i still gave you every benefit of the doubt.
    But it looks like you got a lot to unload.
    Dont make threats.
    I know everything ive told you.
    You can say anything you want.

    Open up the mod forums and all people will see is the truth.
    I remember the day I told you guys that once the new upgrades were done I was gonna make everyone that was a regular into a somewhat of a mod so that they would all at least have read access to the mod forum.
    I wanted a truly glass house.
    Thats where i started to get pushback.
    So please dont threaten me with a good time.

    Tell Diablo, Finksi, Tafnac, BZ, and all the rest what i really think about them.
    Do it, you have nothing to lose. Even if i had dirt on you what would it really matter?
    Only thing that would matter is what you have to say.
    So do it.,
    But please stop with threats.
    Expose me to forum already.

    I havent had a good dressing down from the crew in a while.
    The only posters you actually care about and protect are the ones that are going to jump in and pyle on top of anything you say anyway so dont worry about that.

    Or follow my original example and just take the L so we can continue.
    But taking the L means you hate me.
    And thats ok.

    Imma tell my mommy about you though.
    tsk tsk tsk :smh:

    A friend once told me that there are two reasons NOT to teach a pig to sing: one, it's a waste of time, & two, it annoys the pig.

    Not sure if that's resonant here. Anyway ... here is a cat & a watermelon ...enjoy.

    I personally have told you more than once you have you a wonderful voice.
    I dont know why you gotta continue to be out here fishing for compliments.
    Now go make me some more podcasts.

    I say make me because im guessing im the only one here who listens to them.
    It is true what they say of swine.
    I may be of ill repute.
    And I may be of low coin.

    But its better to diet.
    Than to eat ones own congress.
    Even if that is the thing.
    And people voted.
    To dine like senators.
    On the publicly roasted pork.

    Shit its better to eat fruit.
    Even if its brought by dole.
    But as long as im buying meat it aint gonna be no bacon that im bringing.
    Because thats not kosher.

    If you see me its like you seeing Arbys or is it Jimmy Johns... i got the meats.
    Goat, Turkey, Lamb, sometimes some fish and some chicken too.
    But most the time its gonna be 100 percent BEEF that i got to offer.
    You already too far gone but i got a beef guy in OC thats got the best.
    Im sure over where you are there aint no shortage of good beef.
    But over here most the steer is in danger of going queer.

    If we all ever make up and kiss each others on the hiney again and Craig finds it in his heart to stop hating me and Tafnac lets me play with the server stuff again and Diablo tells everyone that its ok then I would put you and your passionate red headed barbarian nature into a format best suited for the particular set of skills the true lord has blessed you with so that you may wrestle with demons like Steven A Smith and the like who i tell you have been asking to become the focus of the seeds you spittin.

    Watermelon is great.
    Its no wonder the people love it so.

    Guess it's legit. Talk about dedicated. RedTurn wants to play baseball until he dies on the field.

    The great man said:"There's only one proper way for a professional soldier to die: the last bullet of the last battle of the last war".

    Dodgers acquire pitching prospect Griff McGarry from the Phils. https://apnews.com/article/phillies-dodgers-trade-griff-mcgarry-cda7064daddacf81ef0ab12aa7de825e

    Funny, he looks like what I'd expect a "Griff McGarry" to look like.

    This may never amount to much, but who knows. He was once considered a valued prospect in the Philly organization, but has been hurt by high walk numbers, so maybe the Dodgers think they can fix him. The interesting thing is that they gave up some international pool money for him. Giving up that kind of asset when they typically excel in the international draft tells me they see something here.

    of course none of us can know what it feels like to rise to such great heights but man it has to be startling to think about returning to the real world having been there
    kind of like all those old rockers trying to squeeze one last pose and cheer out of the crowd.
    speaking of which i somehow had a thing for an old poseur band named Angel come up on my fb feed
    hard to believe they are still doing the midwest tour thing and have to imagine that's about money
    sell a few t shirts and go back to whatever they're doing...totally bizarre
    couple of the original guys full of plastic surgery and poses, yes lots of poses!
    that's all they did back in the day w the psuedo magic appearance to open that Reiner used in Spinal Tap
    looks like they're going to play the Whiskey in Aug and i might have to go just for the spectacle!
    not that JT is holding on that bad but it sure has to be hard to let go

    Yamamoto is underrated. He should be in the debate for the game’s best pitcher, with Skubal and Skenes.
