What mountains? I spend most of my weekends either in the Cohutta Wilderness, or somewhere in the vicinity of Blood Mountain, Springer Mountain, and other areas of North Ga. We may have passed and nodded at each other at some point.

We may have passed and nodded at each other at some point. Oh, I'm way over in the Rocky Mountains, although I try to get up to the North Ga. mountains whenever I visit family back in Georgia. Got some family near Sky Valley and a friend up in Dahlonega. Love those little streams up there.

Naw, I don't post over there anymore. That whole wannabe spanking that Tuggle gave the entire ABF forum with that dumbass locked thread just irked the shit out of me for some reason. I appreciate Monoxide's attitude, and what he's trying to do, but still too much. ANYTHING but Football, should mean anything, not what overzealous babysitters (Tuggle & BB, not Monoxide) proclaims is acceptable. I'm done with that place.
Also, I don't believe the whole "Orders from the top made us do it" bullshit for a second. If that were the case, then how did Monoxide practically tell this hard ass dictator issuing his orders "from above" to go f**k himself the very next day?

If that were the case, then how did Monoxide practically tell this hard ass dictator issuing his orders "from above" to go f**k himself the very next day?That was the most hilarious part of the whole thing. A lot of us in ABF were saying, "these rules are stupid", and Tuggle responded with his condescending attitude and name-calling "tough guy" nonsense. Then he appoints Monoxide, who immediately says "these rules are stupid", and Tuggle's all like "Oh goodie let's all hold hands and be friends again". I don't know what happened, but it looks to me like Tuggle and Banker realized they effed up royally. Tuggle even apologized, even though he qualified his apology with a weak excuse about "shaking things up". I told Tuggle in a PM that he was screwing up the implementation of the new rules and that they would have to face reality very soon. I told him the whole thing was poorly thought out. His response was essentially that they had thought through everything very well - don't like it, go post somewhere else. The disconnect between the reality of the situation and his (and perhaps Banker's) perception at the time was breath-taking, and I told him that as well at the time in a PM. That's why I made a point to come back and say "I TOLD YOU SO" when they reversed course. The entire fiasco was avoidable. They were told how to avoid it. They were too bull-headed to listen. And Tuggle had to apologize and reverse course. I still don't dislike the guy, but he was just not equipped to handle something like that. He should have listened to those of us who were sincerely trying to help him.

One of the funniest things was when Tuggle said, "we're receiving too many reports from ABF." Then after someone told him that most of the actual troublemakers aren't punished for instigating, his response is, "report them."
Uhhhhh, you said there were already too many reports, genius.

Yeah, they didn't have a coherent argument whatsoever. It looked like they were genuinely surprised when people were smart enough to catch the inconsistencies. It's almost like they were talking to a bunch of intelligent adults, huh?

Apparently, discussing Eric Holder resigning doesn't even qualify as current events. What's the threshold now? If the object of the article happens to be black(kinda), it's a race discussion?

I voiced my displeasure to multiple moderators when that thread was deleted. I hope to start posting here in the near future once everything starts to settle down. You guys have a good thing going on here. I don't see why both forums can't be active. How about them Falcons?

You guys have a good thing going on here. I don't see why both forums can't be active. How about them Falcons? Read through TATF today and look at the ridiculous comments and how they get ignored.Yet people debating on real life issues and saying the same things in reference to real life issues is considered unacceptable.Then maybe you will understand the mindset of alot of posters here.What you're trying to do over there now is what the guys over here were trying to do when this all started.Acworth tried and tried but Tuggle wasn't having it.Obviously you bear no responsibility but I'm just trying to give you some perspective from the "other" side.I'll go back to my lurking now and hope someone who is more articulate than me responds to you.Good luck by the way.

I really hope the moderators start listening to you, because as I told you over on the AFMB, I think that you're bringing the right perspective and outlook to the forums. As for the Falcons, I'm going to need a few days to recover from that one. Ugh!
