April 14, 200521 yr i see the forum nazi got offended by my poast exposing the dukes for being *gasp* imaginary people.i must have buurst brians bubble for him to learn daisy duke is not real, poor thing must be devistated.
April 15, 200521 yr I deleted your "poast" just to see if you were paying attention, Bama ol' boy. Sometimes I can't stop myself from toying with ya. Brian--------------Forum Nazi
April 15, 200521 yr Can't, don't have it. The topic was entitled "enough of this" and it went on to say that Uncle Jesse and the characters of the original show weren't real and we just need to get over it, blah blah blah. It wasn't particuarily constructive and it was more of the same individual opinion that had already been scattered around a dozen of his other posts. I made the editorial desicion to remove it based upon content redundancy and the antagonistic nature of the comments. (Had he posted it on an existing thread I probably wouldn't have blinked.) This resulted in the "Forum Nazi" topic - and really, a true Forum Nazi would have banned his posterior months ago instead of dealing with him one post at a time. But I'm a kind-hearted and sentimental sort of moderator. I'd rather edit or remove an occassional post - and such action is rare - in lieu of hitting the nuke button on the person as a whole. I don't take much personally, and so the aforementioned party is free to roam and bray and is probably writing more pearls of wisdom as we speak. That doesn't mean my esteemed peers are gonna feel the same way, though, and if they get cranky, my own shenanigans will pale in comparison. Brian
April 15, 200521 yr It wasn't particuarily constructive and it was more of the same individual opinion that had already been scattered around a dozen of his other posts. I made the editorial desicion to remove it based upon content redundancy...Then how about removing some "Who would you have cast" or "My idea for the movie" threads...
April 15, 200521 yr How cool. So many people would simply delete a thread referring to them as a nazi.

I think Brian, MaryAnne, Muf'n all do a tremendous job on here to stop that kind of stuff before it gets carried away. Brian did probably the best thing to nip this one in the bud before it erupted . They have given considerable lead way to Bamamediamafia and his posts. And to their credit they have taken so much from alot of us on here. They have shown a lot of respect for our opinions and thoughts on here and they should be respected for that. Like Brian said, it is very very rare that something is deleted. Darrell
April 16, 200521 yr Brian, MaryAnne, and Mufn deserve all the respect we can all give them. Not sour or spiteful comments.
April 16, 200521 yr Brian, MaryAnne, and Mufn deserve all the respect we can all give them. Not sour or spiteful comments.I couldn't agree more! And, keep in mind that Brian only deleted a thread, I have been on other boards where members were outright banned for less...LS3
April 16, 200521 yr fathead.....I just don't think you get it . I think Brian, MaryAnne, Muf'n all do a tremendous job on here to stop that kind of stuff before it gets carried away. Brian did probably the best thing to nip this one in the bud before it erupted . Hey folks, I was just joking around, hence the smiley...!I expect that the mods must be doing a great job... I was just curious as to what content was deleted. I actually like reading what bamamediamafia has to say. I find he's got a different spin on stuff and is actually involved in the movie personally. But I'm sure that's hard for some die-hard fans to swallow.Anyway, everybody keep up the good DOH snoopin'.
April 16, 200521 yr No harm done, Fathead, I figured you were just goofin' around. The overwhelming majority of the posts on this site are never touched, because we've got a great group of people on HazzardNet. I'm lucky to be of any use around here! And yeah, every now and then Bama says something of material interest, and I take the rest with a grain of salt. He's not being persecuted or nothin', so not to worry. ( That doesn't mean I won't fire back if fired upon, tho'.) Die-hard fans can handle the opinions of the less-rabid crowd - but anybody can get touchy about the tone of a message. We're all human. Awright - back to the usual shenanigans!Brian(ps - thanks ya'll for the kind words in the above posts )
April 20, 200521 yr I agree with brian and capt. I have been known to say some pretty tough things, usually after reading a post that made no sense, like banning the movie, and my other rants. But local law does a good job to keep this in line. Also referring to someone like a nazi isnt very nice there bama, in whatever context you meant it to be. Just remember that there is alot of things that can be said about people from bama.
April 20, 200521 yr Like I said the other day to Brian though...Please don't judge ALL Alabamians because of ONE poster.He doesn't speak for ME.Alabama has some darn fine people...including me
April 20, 200521 yr no slight towards you meant jbama. Just trying to make a point, to the other bama
April 21, 200521 yr S'awright, we're all cool. I know that JBama01 ain't the same as bamamediamafia - nor do we take any particular user to represent their state as a whole. And I've got nothin' against bamamedia. He's been merrily posting away some interesting stuff about joblo.com. Once in awhile, he's taken a potshot at me, but so have a few others over the years. When people get bored, sometimes they'll fight with the moderator for something to do. Ain't no big deal. Thanks ya'll - Brian
April 29, 200521 yr Being a Moderator is a thankless job and our three do an exceptional job. And Brian, if you are being picked on, then it just means that we care. Plus, it's no fun to pick on someone without any power. You have to test the limits every now and then to see what is acceptable and what isn't.
April 30, 200521 yr All this carryin' on is gonna make me blush. But thank ya. Honestly, the more I leave the place alone, the better it does. Ain't much to moderate! And if nobody is fighting with me, then I've gotta come up with actual contributions to current topics, which is infinately tougher. Brian
