Nice find. Plough recently tweeted that we had a "huge commitment out of the 415 area code also but I haven't been able to find him yet.

The University of Northern Colorado has suspended athletic workout activities after a spate of positive cases of COVID-19, including among football players who have been advised to quarantine.

Brother (sister), just trying to save you from a potential libel suit. — movielover

Your comments aren't even rational anymore...unbelievable...

You've got the Trump playbook down to a science...when you are wrong and been have been called out for it and will not own up and take any responsibility...just fire off a snide remark...

I did go back and edit my post and removed the athlete's actual name. You're right that I didn't need to state the athlete's name in order to make my point about possible forum censorship. I should have thought more carefully about that.

Nice pivot though, movie, and just like Trump's Press Secretaries have done on a nearly daily basis, you are now deflecting, spinning and blaming, however overtly or thinly veiled, in order to divert attention away from the fact that your original comment was racist, homophobic and sexist.

.

Forgot about that...would be better if it were later in the spring...

Do you think they might delay the season until early next year, Mike?

We're on the same page, CA Forever. I was just acknowledging the balance that the moderators must consider carefully before taking any action.

Years ago, aggie6thman sent me a PM asking me if I would consider becoming a moderator. I had just been flamed in a very vulgar manner by a new member who had just joined the forum and had posted that he had inside knowledge that a star Aggie athlete was suspended for some sort of sexual assault. He had no factual information and so I called him out on it and said there was no place for that kind of rumor mongering on a public forum like this. Stuff like that can spread like wild fire and have lasting damage on an innocent person. He angrily replied to me and, even though he was way out line with his comments, it didn't feel good to have that kind of misguided anger directed at me.

I sent a PM to 6th asking if the member's comments could be taken down. He said that he, and the other moderators, really did not want to get into any form of censorship. That's when he asked me if I'd like to be a moderator since he appreciated the way I had handled the inflammatory comments in the thread. I was still upset at the level of anger that had been directed towards me so I told him that I didn't feel like it was something that I wanted to do at the moment. He said he understood fully.

One thing the BLM movement has reawakened in me is that to be silent about issues of bigotry, unfairness and injustice is to be part of the problem. I'll be appropriately respectful to others within reason but I won't be silent. I can't live that way. We need fair minded people continually speak up.

I read the article about this extraordinarally talented, young woman yesterday on the Aggie Athletics website. It gives me hope in times like these that we are actually making meaningful progress towards equality and acceptance of all people regardless of sexual preference or gender identity.

Yes, movielover's comment is "severely inappropriate" to say the least but I'm not surprised by it given a lot of what we see him post when he quickly reacts to any comment that he perceives as slanted against his right wing ideology.

However, it's a tricky position for the moderators when it comes to censuring comments made on the forum. I know there are members who probably feel like it would be best to not even have topics like this discussed on the forum but Covid-19 affects everyone including our Aggie athletes and all the Aggie sports that we support and enjoy. I would hate to see the entire thread shut down because an inappropriate comment of a single member especially since this is the Off Topic category.

You're absolutely correct. I had the same reaction as you but I was trying to tone down how I worded my comment. Thanks for your honest reply.

If Biden wins, who leads the country? AOC, or three angry Marxist BLM lesbians? — movielover

Generally speaking, your politically reactive comments on this forum are similar to the mind-boggling, defensive spin we have been hearing from Trump's Press Secretaries on a daily basis for the past 3 1/2 years but, with this comment, it appears that your true self has bubbled to the surface and it's tinged with racism. I agree with, CA Forever, you stepped way over the line with this comment.

He looks outstanding on the highlights video. He's very athletic on both ends of the court. I look forward to seeing him play.

"...graduated magna cum laude" from Skyline CC...a scholar baller...perfect fit for us...

How is the graph "skewed" since it is simply quoting things that were actually said mostly by Trump but also others and placed them on the graph of the Covid19 infections across time?

Yes, I do understand the objective of The Lincoln Project is to defeat Trump this fall and Kellyanne Conway's husband, George Conway, is one of the driving forces behind it. What an odd couple! My wife and I would not be together if were that politically divided. Can you imagine some of the conversations that go on in the Conway household? :yikes:

Maybe we could just balance things out and have a couple of other teams change their mascots to the Pale Faces or the Whiteskins...

She'll be playing in the same town in Poland as former Aggie, Brynton Lemar, who plays in Lublin for the men's pro team.
