HighKite Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Anyone who wrote DMD whining about being ignored or his ignore posts deserves to be ignored. What kind of little *** can't handle his own problems and has to have someone else settle it for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-waa Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hey Grits...  This is a post that kevfish put out there on this thread. He asked someone to post it so that you could read it...he is on your list.   kevfish Huddler   Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: Sep 19, 2004 Member No.: 8,544    I have an Idea here guys. How about Grits takes everyone off his ignore list and starts fresh. He could show the administrators tha he has made a good faith effort in changing his ways. Then everyone that was on his ignore list could apologize to Grits for what they did to get on his list in the first place. Then maybe grits could find it in his heart since he is so loved here to stay on this forum. We could then all be one happy Huddle family without the childish stuff. This is really bothering me because I want Grits opinion on something. Do I start Plummer against KC or Brees against Cleveland next week. Brees may be the obvious choice but plummer is going against one of the worst pass defenses? Come on grits--- step up to the plate here and I will be the first to apologize and declare you the man!!!    Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben  609423[/snapback]      I'll pass ... nice effort on your part though ... but I'm thinking I've "stepped up to the plate" thousands of times ... I'd be willing to bet you can add the number of times everybody on my ignore list has responded to somebody else's advice post and not even come close to a third of the number I have answered.  I'm thinking that the people who whinned to DMD should step up to the plate ... perhaps it's time for their fresh perspective anyway.  I also believe that the large majority of the people on my ignore list don't believe they did anything wrong, will continue to do as they please and have no interest in apologizing.  I'm also thinking that if the skins over here are so thin that they take umbrage to being on my ignore list to the point of whinning so loudly to the admins that the admins feel the need to intercede ... that my time has past.

smithkt Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Grits, just a quick question to clarify something, assuming I have not made your ignore list for my previous post. Â When you are talking about all the responses you have made, do you mean posts that have actual bonafide advice in them, or do you also include all the "you've been ignored" and "whoever scores more points" type. Â I don't doubt your commitment to answering posts. I'm just curious if you could guesstimate what percentage of your responses fall into the latter group. This is not meant as a sarcastic question. I am truly curious what your assessment is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Did the admins tell you to stop posting, or just to stop calling people idiots 23,500 times? Seems like you could have done a couple things:  1. Stop the stupid ignore posts, and the dumb sig line and just ignore the people you wanted... you could even keep your personal list, so you wouldn't have to answer their posts.  2. Get upset, pout, and decide not to answer anyone's posts anymore.  3. Get upset, pout, and start a thread blaming others, as if now the board is being punished and its all their fault.  And you chose #3.  I don't think those who sent messages to the admins are the only ones with the thin skins.  609479[/snapback]     You have 599 posts and most of them in the Football Forum ... perhaps it's time for YOU to step up to the plate and answer as many as I have ...

smithkt Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have answered thousands of questions with advice ... I would estimate my "ignore" responses to be in the hundreds somewhere. 609469[/snapback]     Fair enough. Admittedly, I have not even come close to answering as many as you have ignored. I just can't seem to find the time. I tried earlier in the year but after watching my responses scroll off the bottom faster than I could add them, I got frustrated. Still too many freeloaders here. At the risk of starting up another old debate, I wonder if this problem would be at all this bad if the forums had remained part of the paid service.  I still think the good advice you gave was partially obscured by the "other" posts you make, but it's still a free country. Besides, all I'd have to do is ignore you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep mentioning that you contribute so much to the board and that it's time for others to step up in your absence - why? Are you waiting for people to get all up in arms and start a "save Grits" petition or something? I'm not trying to be a jerk here - I just don't understand what you're doing here anymore. You made your point hours ago and said you were leaving, yet here you are still. The longer you linger, the more you lessen the impact of your initial statement.

Big Country Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 May as well chime in with a legitimate response. Â Grits' methods may have been rough, but they were with reason. Â There is a topic posted at the top of the board, title of Fantasy Advice Primer, that lays out in extremely simple terms what is expected of every poster when they post in the fantasy advice forum. Following these guidelines make EVERYTHING easier. It is a guide giving all the information that is needed for any potential respondent to make an informed decision. Without much of the information requested of posters from the advice forum, and advice given is purely speculation, usually based on an unknown scoring system, unknown lineup requirements, and unknown other options. Â Perhaps if grits only reply to the stupid posts, AND THEY WERE STUPID, should have been a link to the Fantasy Advice Primer. Unfortunately, I doubt that would do any good for mosy of the repeat offenders. Â It is because so many people clutter the board with pointless POSTS (not replies) or posts full of incomplete information that many of the board regulars, many of whom are extremely knowledgable, do not want to make an effort to wade through all of the posts here to find ones that provided enough information to actually give a well thought out response. Â And without a moderator to delete all the pointless posts asking to be stroked cause you want to know if you can get 25 points from Chris Brown tonight... but STILL FAIL TO GIVE THE SCORING SYSTEM, I do not see the problem clearing up any time soon. Â So Grits, I will see you in the Tailgate and whenever I wish to have a well thought out debate over the proper application of tiebreaking procedures with a fellow Huddler that has put in almost as much time around this site as I have.
