Why not just let the kids in for free. Period. To me, if I were doing something to help needy kids I wouldn't be looking to be paid from any source. And I'd absorb my own expenses. The fact that (supposedly)Tim and (supposedly) Marquis have only posted once is pretty suspect. Feels to me like someone may be having some fun with the Bonnies Bandwagon.
On another note, I am worn out with the fact that anytime one of us Bevelators posts anything at all on this board we come under personal attack. DemBonnies, you of all people should value diversity rather than tearing down people when they share views that may be different than yours.

I find this holier than thou attitude completely laughable. To say that the arguments against Mr. Winn's plan ,regardless of its merits, was anything other than a well orchestrated attack meant to evoke further discord is disingenuous. If my crying foul when your "home team" wanted a charging call exacerbated the situation, than so be it. I watched these vagabonds run too many good posters to the weeds. The negative post against Winn's idea broke along "Board" lines and I smelled a rat and pointed it out....just shining a light on the deception...when I fished for affirmation several of the pranksters agreed that there was a "call to arms"...if anyone's having fun with bogus post here on the Bandwagon, take a look in the mirror. And I should be the one to embrace the diversity...look at the rebuttals...called a DBag by one(by the way that was the first time in my life I ever been called that...I'm still shocked and appalled but the tears have by now stopped ) and another wished I was figuratively (or perhaps literally) dead and gone. Class...it was fun to cut it in school but by this point in life you should have a little!!!

I am still not sure where you are getting this "call to arms" and "board lines". First you are still talking about a thread you cannot and have not read. The thread was being discussed exactly as it was here. Were there different opinions then here, of course there are different people on each board. Second if each of our boards consist of 3 people (which I can sense from a mile away you are going to claim ours is which is ridiculous) then yes there was a board division. Maybe, just maybe it was 3 people with legitimate concerns disagreeing with a few people that did not have those concerns.
I said it before but I think it was deleted, I did have questions and they were mostly answered. Calling it an attack on his work is absurd, I knew Tim in college and would never discount what he is doing for the kids. Having questions/concerns is not an attack. As for name calling don't give dish it out if you can't take it back, you tried to make softintheo look stupid and he gave it back to you. The ironic thing is when you called him a whiner then make ten posts complaining about what he called you.
My last question is if we can donate to a fund or is buying a whole ticket the only option? Maybe if everyone donated what they could or wanted to a fund and the fund be used to buy as many tix as possible you could get more people willing to donate. Just a suggestion but as I said before that is a lot of money for some of us just starting out but maybe a bunch of people not willing to donate a whole ticket could collaborate?

yawn . . .
When is the funny part supposed to start? You 5 bevelators with your multiple screen names need to get a new act. You're very repetitive and boring. If your Board was so much fun, why bother coming here to participate is such a dull thread?
yawn.
BTW, I wasn't going to say anything in this thread, until bonafide had to call me out.
Go ahead and fire personal attacks as you usually do. I can take it.
yawn.

Gee, the class comment isn't at all necessary. That's what I mean by tearing people down.

I put it in one of my previous posts that I thought you had a good comment and it looked like we were going to have a good discussion. I was here because I was interested in Tim's post and wanted to participate in the discussion at first. No personal attacks here as you have not taken any against me. I am still not getting where this thought that we have multiple screen names is coming from? Is there any proof on this yet or just speculation? Instead of making these claims please offer some proof, but unfortunately I know there is none. And we do participate at the Bevel a whole lot more then here, however as someone previously mentioned they are very different boards and occasionally something here will peak our interest.

Sneakers you are truly a work. Just as expected and predicted you emerge from your hiding place and, as typical, you lash out.
Sneakers, maybe you, Dem Bonnies, Jim Sickstetuh and all of your ilk should form your own board and simply exit the Bandwagon. I mean the Bevelators actually had the style, class and balls to do just that. The infrequent times that we return to post civil and considered items on this board are met with open hostility by you and your pals.
Tim Winn purportedly posted in and attempt to help some needy kids. No one has an issue with that effort. However, legitimate questions arose about how the money would work. I suspect that if you had posed the same questions folks like Dem Bonnies would have either remained silent or been very supportive of you. But solely because Bevelators asked those questions they were attacked. How incredibly sad!
If I was Tim Winn I'd look at the real dysfunctional anger in the postings attacking the Bevelators and conclude that those responsible for the postings would be the very last group of people that I'd want involved in mentoring children. Put another way...sick is sick Sneakers.

I mean the Bevelators actually had the style, class and balls to do just that. This board is where folks of our ilk came/come to post. How much balls did it take to form your own board and class...let's just say that if your board is anything like the class you Bevelators exude in your post here...we would surmise it is devoid of both class and taste. If I was Tim Winn I'd look at the real dysfunctional anger in the postings attacking the Bevelators and conclude that those responsible for the postings would be the very last group of people that I'd want involved in mentoring children. Couldn't disagree more.....the Bevelators rushed onto this board with their avatars and attitudes foaming at the mouth with pugnacity and purpose...the purpose being to disrupt a legitimate avenue for discussing Bonaventure and Bonaventure Basketball. That attitude does not need to be passed onto today's youth. Pestilence that persists today....will be opposed everyday.

I didn't see that. I saw well-worded and reasonable posts. When the Bevelators were attacked they responded with attempts....including bits of humor... to defelect and de-escalate the unjustified anger.
Hey DemBonnies....the Bevelators...for the most part... ARE young people with all the avatars, attitudes, pugnacity and purpose that goes along with being twenty-something. Trying to understand and work with the younger alumni rather than constantly tearing them down would seem to be a much more positive dynamic than the war that you and others on this board have been waging. Put yet another way, several of the Bevelators who posted are classmates of Tim and have a personal and positive relationship with him going back to their student days. Who on earth are you to pose any negatives about any of these people when you don't know them, their relationships or the facts?
Put a third way Dem Bonnies....get off your sanctimonious and officious high horse and just leave everyone alone. Please!

Pestilence that persists today....will be opposed everyday. What is this? Some sort of weak attempt at a rap battle? If you want to rap battle this is not an appropriate forum. Take it to the BevelWagon. I'd be happy to oblige you in a good old fashion battle. I didn't see that. I saw well-worded and reasonable posts.

Mr Feeny (Boy Meets World teacher) = Kit from Nightrider. I agree with you about the Sneakers = DemBonnies. This sounds like a classic case of the fireman being the arsonist. Maybe this one individual thinks we are creating multiple screen names because Dem Sneakers knows from experience?

Bonafide..we can disagree to disagree then...it wasn't humor that was used to deflect and it was acidic attacks on individuals (myself among them) and it certainly doesn't serve to deescalate the situation. How does posting juvenile images and calling people profane names deescalate the situation?
It's no secret that the sole purpose is to disrupt and disembowel this board...it's a shame that about the only thing we have in common is that we both attended St Bonaventure.
Out of touch with angry youths? Perhaps. Just can't figure why you people have such animosity toward this board. Did you really expect to be greeted with open arms when your demeanor and postings were so blatantly offensive to this community.
Funny some of the older posters who got out of Bonas 15/20 years ahead of me at SBU and I have a rapport that all folks who attended our little school should share.
Obviously I don't take my talking points from a set group of individuals, given my perspective that I feel a Bonnie/MAAC fit is better than a Bonnie/A-10 fit...a differing viewpoint from Sneakers and many others on the board...so to say that I'm in lockstep with Bandwagon posters is erroneous again.
I may be Don Quixote tilting on windmills, but I'll stay on the horse for now thanks

Please take your choice, each of these goes great with whine:

I may be Don Quixote tilting on windmills, but I'll stay on the horse for now thanks I wish we could go back and look at the deleted posts because the first person to post a "juvenile" image in here was you. Did you not post a jet engine and say "the only thing with a louder whine" to softintheo? You get hostility because you call us names and talk down to us. Stop doing that and you won't get responses to it.
