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

[htismaqe]

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.

Good bye everyone…

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

[htismaqe]

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
i never got a responce from the bba...

[Joe Seahawk]

wow that is awesome!!!!!!!
i am still laughing over that one. will you help me with a letter to that effect to my ex girlfriend???????....lol

[Fat Homer]

Now why would they yank that post!? Seriously! Read the Terms of Use (http://www.kansascity.com/html/use-agreement.html), 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 have that board!

[i]How am I posting? Call 1-800-WHOCARES</I>

[chiefsfan58]

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. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/eek.gif

[htismaqe]

Bwana,

One thing I've noticed...

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

Luz
big difference...

[Yosef_Malkovitch]

Luz,

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

[chiefsfan58]

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. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[redbrian]

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!! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Careful Clint http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif

[Yosef_Malkovitch]

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

[Bwana]

Haha I know...I'm used to it...I just wanted to have some fun with it http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[htismaqe]

The fair maiden appears!

(BTW - Bob Dole has responded to your invisible response to his invisible retort.)

[Bwana]

Here I am!

(And yet another invisible response has been added)

[htismaqe]

Just posted another. Bob Dole is not a very accomplished record keeper and does not have your email address. If you want, please shoot off a note to [email address deleted to protect the idiot].

(I can post it here because I can edit it back out after you read it...)

[Bwana]

Go ahead and edit it out Bob Dole, and I'll email ya right now.

[Yosef_Malkovitch]

Bob, can you edit this?

Test

Sorry About the test, was having problems with my password.

Luz,
Great post. Glad we all ended up here, as I would have missed your great sarcism. Unfortunatly I think it was wasted on the other board, as non would have understood it. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[chiefsfan58]

JOhn: Did you ever round up some tickets to the opening day game?

[BIG_DADDY]

Luz,

I thought the advertisers were the old BBs customers/clients. We on the otherhand we're supposed to be dim-witted sheep who would click the ad banners for the BBs clients. Maybe the political threads were getting in the way of advertising "Roger the Plumber".

EJJ

Greg, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy 2 tickets. I will know by tommrow. If I do get them I will let you know ok?

Dang,
Sorry about the multiple posts. Must be stuttering today http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/frown.gif

[The-Man]

Clint...your still blaming women for everything wrong in the world.How origional!But like Shannon I"ve grown acustomed to your women outbursts. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Luz...a classic!

[htismaqe]

So you're claiming women aren't the cause of everything that's wrong with the world?

[chiefsfan58]

JOhn: Yes...OK...Yes http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[The-Man]

Dole...repeat after me...my ex wife is not on this BB and I will respect all other women who post here as they are far superior than I.... http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

For a humorous take on Clint see my last post on "Welcome to the KC BB refugees"

Excuse me Mr. Dole,

But Women must be superior as we were made to correct the first version!!!

Mark a little humor about Clint...I'll have to check it out!

[DaKCMan AP]

Pam - No woman was made as a companion for man. Now if Adam would have known that companion meant opiniated, whiney, bossy, moody and just generally there to ruin all of our fun then he might have kept his big mouth shut and been happy with his dog spot!

My ex wife is not on this BB and I will respect all other women who post here as they are far superior than I.

(That sort of hurt a little bit...)

[BIG_DADDY]

generally there to ruin all of our fun

LOL... The wife and I have a running joke about the fun meter. It doesn't matter how far away she is, but the second I open a beer, turn on the tube, or sit in front of the PC, her fun meter goes off. She is immediately reminded of the many tasks still on my 'honey do' list that have been there for months.

did you not see any of the responses?

[redbrian]

Hey, I love women! Where else would I put my morning wood? http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Seriously, folks, I'm married and I just found out I've got a kid on the way...hopefully a boy! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif

My wife laughs at my chauvinist wisecracks...I guess they're a little more humorous face-to-face!

Congrats Clint!!!

[DaKCMan AP]

Clint - Congradulations! I'm still freaking out about my own wife being pregnant with our first. Best wishes for a healthy baby. Sarcasm is really hard to do with words, I'm sure I failed in my attempt to get Pam going.

[King_Chief_Fan]

A kindler, gentler Clint! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif

[htismaqe]

Congrats Clint.

47mack, no I left for some appointmemts immediatlt after posting this and didn't return to that bb for a week.

Luz
not a protest, i just simply didn't have the desire...

[AustinChief]

Luz, loved your post. I didn't see the meltdown on the KCBB when it all happened. It sounds like the BBA's got spooked really bad... I just don't understand why...

Love this new board...

http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif<BR>

[Duck Dog]

Morph,
Just have not been in the mood to post funnies at this time.

Pam

[Duck Dog]

Clint.
Congratulations.

[DaKCMan AP]

Pam - I understand, I was hoping it might give you a little giggle. I knew you could use some sort of a distraction.

[Bob Dole]

All I know is that women got me banned from paradise and took one of my darn ribs. Now they don't want to do the laundry or dishes.

Hell they don't even want to cook a decent meal. Adam is rolling in his grave.

[Duck Dog]

Thanks Morph.

Kids have been in my room all day crying (again) and calling my home, and dropping by. The whole community is once again shocked.

Yea, I need a distraction.

[Baby Lee]

Luz, Great post! It's great to be free of that totalitarian regime over at the other BB. Clint congrats! Save me a cigar.

[Mosbonian]

Morph,

Wondering how to do Sarcasm with anything but words?

[DaKCMan AP]

Logical - Not sure where your going with that one. Tone of voice and facial expressions go a long way to showing that you are being sarcastic.

[Mosbonian]

I understand that, I was being sarcastic in that words must be part of sarcasm. I think what was meant was written words. I guess I kind of emphasized your point, as my written words did not come off as sarcastic.

Did not mean to offend,
Sorry.

Logical - Not upset in the slightest, just confused and trying to figure out what you meant. I don't take things that personal, and I figured maybe I had typed something really stupid earlier.

[The-Man]

Clint...congrats.

Dole...come on...that didn't hurt.Women rule and you know it,always have and always will http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif
