Interesting.
I run polls on who we think the scoring leaders, rebounding leaders, etc. and am lucky if 30 people respond. They run a poll regarding Lester, and double the amount of votes come in. So, we can guess maybe that - people don't give a rats butt about my preseason polls - Lester is a man of the people, and they come out to support him - Alot of people are voting using more than one name (aka burner accounts) - We really need a good showing and beat Mercer to get the Bandwagon back on its track - maybe none of the above

I always appreciate your preseason polls even if they prove we are all stupid/bad prognosticators.

Wow! It looks like romeoblues is going to get a quick hook. Good thing we've got a strong and deep bullpen.

If firstdev and the UB douchebag have not been banned then its flat out silly to ban Lester. You guys should know he is not serious when he offers to fight a dickhole UB fan. firstdev hasn’t been in here in about a month 😉 Apparently First Dev may have finally shat the bed.

Here’s the letter a rogue admin deleted. Since elitetaylor freely admits the post was taken down on the whim of his/her fancy and not a violation of terms, I feel safe in reposting it. It’s a message intended to calm the masses and add some levity to the lester situation. Relax everyone and enjoy the ride. View AttachmentDo you want a tissue or something?

I’ll take this one thank you, 06 said find the humor in all of this nonsense, that this “war” would continue, so I took his advice and had some fun by deleting his post, the first post I’ve ever deleted. Not true, you deleted mine today as well. Then you insulted me, called me an "idiot", and gave me a second warning for simply questioning why an admin is allowed to call a user that. You definetely want a tissue lol

I said you’re talking like an idiot regarding Civil War talk and embargoes and you are lol you’re a child who needs to grow up, but with two warnings on the books and countless complaints by fellow members I have feeling you won’t be around long enough for us to see that growth Edit: Romeo since you’re so hellbent I’m trying to get me to respond I’ll just say it, I don’t mind the things you post, I DO mind you blowing up my inbox with your insane ramblings. I don’t get bothered with people I consider a joke and yes I said joke, you have turned yourself into a joke along with a few others on here like Bonafan08 and one of the biggest crybabies ever in Bona06 (“someone validate this!”)

Not true, you deleted mine today as well. Then you insulted me, called me an "idiot", and gave me a second warning for simply questioning why an admin is allowed to call a user that. In my conversation with elitetaylor33 today about my deleted post he called me a liar and completely mis-characterized the above letter. This is one person who has absolutely lost it. I honestly feel bad for him. I ended the conversation with him baffled at how he escalated it from a simple ask: "why did you delete that post?" to him challenging my character and even suggesting the screengrab I have of the post couldn't be trusted because I could alter it. Seriously. Fortunately there was another admin involved in the conversation who can back me up if necessary. Ha you asked me what you said in your post and i said “not verbatim”, meaning “this is not word for word”, and didn’t you just send me another message along with the other administrators accusing us of “messing with your messenger” and then right after sent another one saying “never mind forget that last message it seems to be working”?? (again not verbatim since I’m sure you guys will complain about that too). It’s always something, I’m sure when you guys put your pants on backwards you curse the heavens and blame the administrators. And this is all after countless messages to my inbox from you and Romeo and many others, while I’m at work, talking about a Civil War and yes the most childish stuff I have ever seen and heard. If I didn’t like so many other members on this board, the basketball team, and the university, even I would stop coming onto this forum for criminally insane lol. Here let me just say this and i’ll go back to just being an Administrator and not interacting with the #freeLester crew, you constantly poke and chastise us, call us names, tell us we’re doing a poor job and that we have no right doing what we’re doing (which is ironic since what we have been doing IS exactly what we’re supposed to do), and then you tell us to “act like administrators” when we respond in anyway, if you’re going to dish it out you better be able to take it in return while not crying about it, just grow up, go outside sometimes and get some sunlight (it’ll make you feel better), you can’t have it both ways.

It’s a message intended to calm the masses and add some levity to the lester situation. Relax everyone and enjoy the ride. View AttachmentI have not weighed in on the Lester ban, mainly because it isn’t a big deal. However, I think The admins on this site do a really good job as far as I am concerned. They allow some comments, delete when it gets to heavy, and ban where it is necessary. In the end, maybe it becomes a suspension. This board is made up of all demographics, and their job is to moderate the site to make it a good place and successful. When the Bevelators were rampant years ago, they made the site unbearable. Sir Elton/Lester, made insightful comments and had good information that everyone liked to know and appreciated. We could deal with the gibberish, the bevelator language, and the stupid talk. Those scales were generally balanced. Where it gets to start having overwhelming posts of crap to go through, or gets angry or threatening, then the scales tip. Then it makes visiting this site not very much fun for anyone. Last time, the bevelators created their own site, which ultimately, no matter the good insider info Sir Elton had, failed. I would assume because only a smaller group of the participants here were in that bevelator group cared to look at and listen to all the stupid talk. Here, every once in a while we hit a small political thread, but it ends quickly, and the admins jump in. I think Lester knows, or he should, how far something can be pushed. A political comment every 20 posts may be ok, while not wanted, but gibberish posted every 4 posts or more, gets ridiculous and is trying to draw ire, not laughs. Threats should not be tolerated, especially on top of other stupidity, even when they are directed at UB trolls. If the administrators decide to let him back is their decision, and personally, I would not while his supporters are clambering for it. But if they do, he should have a slightly shorter leash until he tilts the scale back the other way. Just an opinion. Admins, a personal thank you for making this site a good place to come to to get info on the Bonnie’s and the school. I have been coming on here for a long time and for a long time, it was the way for people that are a long way away to stay in touch with the school, and the b-ball team that was so important to us. More info is available now, but this is still the definitive site and the string of admins going back to Scoot and Fox should be thanked for that by everyone.
