You're not supposed to post PMs in the forum. That is why a moderator stepped in.

As for how it was handled, TJ operates with a great deal more freedom on this forum than I think he is willing to give on his own.

See, give him an inch.......

I saw a few posts on that thread were removed, and will assume it was for reasons of tasted/decency.

I don't see it being racist. Very, very $#itty and uncalled for, but not racist. Barato John always managed to inflame and anger without picking on someone else's mama' or heritage, I see no reason why we'd need to with him.

I also would like to think John is more the type of person that confronts and deals with such insults, not runs away from them.

I am not sure why locking the thread has you so upset? It is puzzling actually.

You're just looking for something where there is nothing. Locking a thread boiling out of control has been a fairly common practice. It had nothing to do with spiting TJ, IMO.

I'm pretty sure we have the situation handled, but we'll keep talking about it if you wish. Or, perhaps I can approach AustinChief about nominating you for a mod internship....

Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?

Lets see:

Chiefs win...check.
R aiders suffer humiliating loss...check.
Colts lose...check.
TJ leaves the planet...check.
I enter the front page of posters by #of posts...check.
get laid.....

Goodnight!

Dang,

are some Chiefs fans bored with winning or something? I remember this type of crap happening a great deal when the team sucked...but what is the excuse now? :spock:

Yup, he admitted that himself.

As far as jettio's complaint, I am tired of explaining it to him. Obviously everyone else who has read it has understood the decision taken, and the moderators back my decision. He needs to get the burr out of his ass and move on.

Beats me.

Maybe if you read Taco's initial post in this thread it would be less puzzling.

Locking down the thread was the most offensive thing to Taco.

Russ's action was directly confronting Taco while he was justifiably airing a legitimate beef.

Russ started his own spat with Taco and then used his status as a moderator as a weapon to spite the dude.

One post was deleted as it was a racial comment. Phil dealt with the offender.
