to ban the puke fans from this board

...I dont like to seem them on a SKINS board or is that just me?

Unlike a lot of sites that may do that, one of the best features of this site (in my opinion) is that it allows open discussion from those with all points of view. This includes fans from opposing teams.

If you don't like reading posts from Cowboys fans, RobSkins, you may feel free to "mark them read" without reading them.

Since they obviously don't have anything on us, I'm not scared of them

Besides, those Cowpuke fans that actually stick around for more than just a one-time "Skins Suck!" post have interesting things to say down the stretch. . .as much as most Skins fans wouldn't want to admit it.

I do agree with you that they can be quite annoying sometimes--I guess I'm not one to speak since I didn't have to endure them during last season. . .

The truth of the matter is that half of the fun of being a Redskin fan is hating the Cowboys, and vice versa. I live in Dallas, so I talk trash with Cowboy fans every day. I love it!! The games mean so much more when you have a rival. Don't you think it would suck to be a Seahawk fan or a Falcon fan? They don't have rivals, so they don't have nearly as much fun. Talking trash with Cowboy fans just enhances my passion for the Redskins, and the game of football in general. Lighten up and enjoy it!!

It depends on the character of the opposing fan (Cowboys, Jets, Eagles, whoever). If they're into talking about football and not bashing, then I'm all for it. That's why Gambit, Curveball, General Failure, and SirSmizzy are valuable members to the site, despite not having a love for the Skins. Outside input is always welcome.

Gambit does not add to this site.HE IS A SKINS BASHER.Dont know him but the little I Iread of his trash makes me sick.I hope he goes to the Monday night game so we can bash him and his sorry team.I repect different views about our team but his view is always the same.If you cant see that then you people are to young to no better.Real skin fans would not have site for them to talk trash about us.I HATE ALL TEAMS EXCEPT US.fedex is full of cowboys lovers and this site is turning Gambit.I say go to cowboysuck.com and post there.

I never understood the fascination with going to another team's board ... that's a joke, kids.

Honestly, nothing I've read from Gamit is really that bad. I've seen and done a whole lot worse than whatever he's come up with in my day.

All Iam saying that this is a skins board made by the skins for the skins not for some pukes to come in and start talking i dont realy care if they are being 1/2 way nice about how they bash the skins as you say on top of your board (We put the fan in Redskins Fanatic) now i dont see nothing in there about pukes. well i dont wanna get all mad so let me stop here.

GibbSkins · Post by **GibbSkins** » Thu May 06, 2004 4:47 pm

BH wont kick them off the message boards...and i agree with him....i root for the skins and everyone who plays aginst dallas..but they dont hurt anything by comming here...and when there here most of those treads are great reads...good discousion is always welcome in here...and thats the way it should be....

skins75 · Post by **skins75** » Thu May 06, 2004 4:50 pm

It's an open forum guys. If you don't like the post don't read it. I think it just shows that this is a great site and people with all different points of view enjoy this place and its members. PB-Tom your point has absolutely no merit. Because I disagree with you does not mean that I am young or not love the Redskins as much as anyone on this board. Get over yourself.

This IS a Skins board... and no opposing fan can take that away. We're so fanatical that we won't even let a Cowpuke get in the way of bleeding burgundy and gold.

And frankly, I'm surprised to hear anyone who lives in the 'land of the free' suggest it.

Where's the freedom of speech in banning someone because you don't like the team that they personally root for? What's next? Am I going to start banning people for living in the wrong geographic area?

I live in Canada... you'd all be out ROTFALMAO

.

While the presence of 'intruders' may sometimes cause unneccessary flack and hardship, sometimes it makes for great threads.

The other moderators and myself do our best to keep threads civil and on-topic, though obviously, you can't bat 1.000. You have to take the crunchy with the smooth.

Just do what I do...I have Gambit (it hurts just to type it!) on autoignore. I can tolerate Curveball. I been eslewhere and have seen what Gambit is about and I choose to ignore him because he loves mixing it up here.

BossHog · Post by **BossHog** » Thu May 06, 2004 5:37 pm

Skins71... I appreciate the passion, but this is a PG board... throwing a few asterisks in a swear word won't cut it here... please edit your post or a mod will for you. Thanks.

As for the avatars... hey, what can I do?

I CAN tell you that it doesn't matter what I do... I can't make everyone happy.

:hmm:

I can certainly appreciate the position that many take about keeping the pukes and others off this board. I certainly remember those George Allen days where this town despised those texas turds. Don't know where all of these people have come from walking around town with those ugly colors on. One thing however, will make these rodents crawl back under the rocks that they came from, and that's WINNING. Once we start winning again, these people will just fade away to wherever they go. You won't see any hats, jerseys, or shirts. You won't see them anywhere, they'll just disappear. Unfortunately, these midgets have suddenly become giants since we haven't won consistently. Mark my words, you just won't see them anymore.

Boss, trust me, it's not as free as you would think. Free speech isn't as allowed as people from other countries would think. This country has become so sensitized in more ways than one... but that's for another forum.

I enjoy the variety of people that this site brings in. Whether it's Skins fans from all around the country, out of the country, or opposing fans in the country, that's what makes this board so great!

Gambit and Curveball have post thread that we all reply to (sometimes before thinking sometimes after) :shock:

But without them we would know how lucky they are. They can actually make a statement and WE understand what they are trying to say.

Think about it if you were a fan of "that team in Texas" would you rather post on one of there board or here.
