Ok Gander, i have to go with the moderator on this one. I always enjoy your enthusiasm on your post but--going with the mods on this one should not make me a communist, nor against freedom of speech, and most definitely not an unpatriotic atheist. 

SETX has provided us with a very informative and fun media to get to discuss things.  I appreciate the moderators keeping a lid on things.  I too have been warned--and i believe i have had a thread locked up.  I have even received an email telling me my son seems to be getting into trouble in other threads. 

These guys in my opinion have to make a timely decision as to when an issue is getting out of hand.  Sometimes they may make a mistake--but a heated discussion can lead to a number of things that they would regret if they did not stop it and something more serious was a result of their indecision. 

To know that my kid and his or her friends are subjected to public humiliation is comforted by the fact that this forum is under many watchful eyes.  Yes we have freedom of speech, but let us all realize that this web site is free also.  As you and Bag have so faithfully protected our country, let the moderators do their jobs and protect their readers who pay the same price as the writers.

Now that i have sucked up to the moderators---i expect my Karma to get a little boost.  ;D

Weed, Great post and I agree with a lot of it and the rest was some terrific BS ! everyone that post should be equal thats the point !

the bolded part suggests that the individual feels there is favoritism shown by the moderators

The softball section is much more controlled and I am OK with that but I let me ask this. If that happens here why is Coach Priced BASHED without end in the football section? I think it would be good if you guys would work on some consistency.

I try to stay pretty much on the SB board. The FB board seems to be a lot more malicious than this one, I'll agree. It appears to be the judgement of the moderators on each board. I have looked at some post on the FB, that I thought should be taken down, but didn't do it myself, because I would guess they have established a level of trash that is acceptable on that board, and the posters there, know what it is. So I let the mods on that board make decisions on what is and what is not acceptable. Sometimes I may be a little trigger happy, but I also get pm's asking me to intervene. Overall, though, I believe it has lead to a more harmonious board here. I won't always make the right decision, and everyone will not always be happy, but I do what I think is right.

And I believe you do a great job. But the Dayton post was just for humor. I promise you many people laughed.

Now removing the stuff about Lana was strange. I only stated the facts. As a freshman she started 50 games at catcher and played DP in 10 more. She is a great young lady who won her starting spot because of her work ethic and ability, not because of some other factor.

If a coach is an idiot, says things to and about the players that reflect poorly upon his character;  berates the parents of opposing teams to the opposing teams players - he needs to be called out for it and that is all the now deleted thread was doing. There is not a better format anywhere in this area that can get this information out. It needs to be exposed / not censored -

      QB Controversy Brewing in Crosby

      Just because they are possibly in the worst 4A D1 district in Texas. If your measure of a "Championship" program falls at the level of the district (and an extremely weak one at that) then we have much different expectations and definitions of what a Championship Program is.

      What’s prevented them before this decision?

      Warren High School is open

      Well having the AD/HFC combined position hasn’t exactly been the answer over the last 75 years (or however long Warren’s been playing football).  This is probably the best move they could make with Smithey bailing so late.  At least it provides the kids with some stability as these two guys were there this past year. The program is been trending in a positive direction over the last three years why not stay the course with two guys who want to be there…Wishing the best for Warren.

      Infrastructure bill?? How many EV charging stations has he built? You can count that on one hand. What else has been done with those $trillions? See, you’re lying and you know it.  Those $trillion’s went to Ukraine to be laundered and come back to Schumer and Co. Why else would he get so excited about infrastructure?

      Supreme Court overturns bump stock ban…

      Hopefully Texas will win their case in court to simply make suppressors legal without the federal tax stamp. I doubt it as the interstate commerce clause is far reaching. For those who may not know, in Texas a firearms suppressor is legal but they are still against federal law without a federal tax stamp. Texas removed them from prohibited weapons a couple of years ago. Texas is currently fighting a case in court that if the suppressor is manufactured completely in Texas and never leaves Texas, it would not then fall under the interstate commerce clause. The ICC allows any commerce that crosses a state line to be controlled by the US Congress under the Constitution in Article I.
