My Final Topic on the Star BB (Before it was yanked)...

htismaqe · 08-24-2000, 10:55 AM

To the Star BB Admin:

I wanted to personally thank you for your recent actions in deleting these non-relative topics from this perfect example of what a properly run bulletin board should be.

Unlike most, I understand the business aspects of your decision. The idea of giving your clients free choice on what topics they discuss has made this one of the most attractive football BBs in the country, but think how successful it CAN be when you start controlling the topics!

If the masses (your clients) knew what was best for them, they would realize that the interaction between this large community of friends is not what attracts others, nor what keeps this BB (unlike most others) relatively civil. I applaud your decision to step in and force your clients to do what is in their own best interests. Everybody knows that a successful business does not cater to it’s clients, but rather it forces it’s customers to do what the company tells them to.

If only your clientele were smart enough to study history! Then they would know that a free market environment always leads to chaos and repression, whereas the true path to success and prosperity lies with central planning.

So again I applaud you for treating your loyal customers like the dim-witted sheep that they are. I do have one suggestion however, if by some miracle you discover that you’ve made a strategic error with this decision, never admit it. That would be a sign of weakness and no self respecting bureaucracy would ever reverse a decision once made ~ whether the decision was good, or bad.

Luz
Good bye everyone…

Luz: That's a classic........It lasted about 2 minutes if I were to hazard a guess?

htismaqe · 08-24-2000, 11:04 AM

Bwana,

I'm not sure. I posted it and then left.

I understand it didn't last very long, but have no idea if very many saw it.

If anyone did, I would be curious to know how many post it received.

Luz

Now why would they yank that post!? Seriously! Read the [url="http://www.kansascity.com/html/use-agreement.html"]Terms of Use[/url], then tell me where the violations are. So, sarcasm is no longer allowed on the KCBB? Free thought & right to express one's opinion are no longer tolerated?

Hey, the socialists & Thought Police can [i]have[/i] that board!

HC: I'm sure it was yanked because the KC BBA sees Luz as a threat........why, one more person could leave and Denise would be left talking with Roger with Becky tending the board. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/eek.gif[/img]

htismaqe · 08-24-2000, 11:23 AM

Bwana,

One thing I've noticed...

Those people don't talk with each other, they talk AT each other.

Luz
big difference...

Yosef_Malkovitch · 08-24-2000, 11:27 AM

Luz,

I saw your topic and was rolling. I think it was yanked before it garnered any response.

chiefsfan58 · 08-24-2000, 11:41 AM

Phil: I just sent you an email. Rod Gilchrist just emailed me and wants to get in here BAD. He seems to be having some trouble. Perhaps you or one of the computer gurus can help him out. His email is in the one I send you. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

redbrian · 08-24-2000, 11:45 AM

The BBA on the "other" board is probably crying her eyes out right now.

"I'll delete their posts! *SOB* I'll delete ALL of them, so help me God!"

Kansascity.com is what happens when you let a woman run a football BB!! [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That's just Clint. You learn to live with it. Outspoken, sometimes brash, but at least you know where you stand. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

**Bwana** · 08-24-2000, 12:04 PM
