Actually, I knew what it was supposed to be, but I couldn't find (;), so I went with (:).

Your response forced me to look again, and I'll be damned, it's the same damn key in the lower case mode.

Yes, I am a dumbass.

I laughed because I got the n00b joke.

I thought it was well played.

I'm okay with this criticism. Here's the rub. I've been here a long time. I helped Kyle build this site from 50 pilgrims to what it is today. I say this not asking that you kiss my ass but that you trust that what I'm telling you is based on a lot of experience at running a site like this.

I understand the nuances of an internet community such as this. Hootie and those of his ilk are entertaining and they're typically good for sporadic traffic surges. What they're not good for is long-term community viability. Eventually something has to give and frankly, I'd rather ban 5 Hooties (and have) than risk losing two or three more veteran contributors.

Contrary to what you've been told about my tenure at WPI, I built that place into a half-dozen posts per day board to thousands of posts per day in under a year. I understand and I care. That's why I do some of the things I do on this site. I'm not perfect and I've made plenty of mistakes over the years. I used to have time to take young guys under my wing and integrate them into the community. I don't have time for that any longer so my methods are perceived as harsh or sensitive. That's fine. When Kyle thinks my methods are out of touch and not in the best interest of the long-term growth of ChiefsPlanet he'll ask me to step down and I will.

make friends with someone who has a strip pit.

lakeside park (make sure you get a fishing license). don't eat the fish there, tho.

i actually haven't fished in about 10 years. need to teach my 6 year old the trade. let me "fish around". i'll find a place, and i'll send you an invite (no homo).

As an aside, if you ever want to know how lame the rep system is...yours is the first rep I got for crazycoffey.


I got six for a throwaway post in a Royals thread a few days ago.
