ESPN Board

But the lack of an administrator to monitor the things being said and the saturation of trolls really was its downfall.
This is a great home and a permanent one.
Everyone has tried to be nice to Blockhead and if he were to come back here and just be cool I don't think anyone would chase him away.
Hes shown the ability in the past to do this and I suspect his feelings are hurt that he can't talk horses with anyone anymore except the trolls who frequent the other board.
Perhaps you could persuade him to come back here and just play nicely with others most of the time.

I'd like to see him do an about-face but I don't think that's a reasonable expectation at this time...maybe later if things cool down!

Somer,
Quite frankly I find it hard to believe that anyone here is wasting time trying to incite Blockhead by recruiting folks and trolls, etc.
Its just not something that strikes me as a fun time.
I think almost everyone wants to talk horses over here, or politics and sports in those areas of this board.
Sounds as if the same trolls who devestated the ESPN board this past winter and spring are still in action.
Who cares?
This board is what it is so fast because of those guys whether they realize it or not, thats the irony. It was just a coiincincidence that Steve got this board up and running at about the same time it hit a fever pitch over at ESPN with the tolls and guys putting the lines up, etc.
Had those trolls not been so horrible, then most folks would probably post at both places.
As a result of the trolls hard work and dedication to their job, everyone was already fed up with them and dove to this board immediately upon its being up and running. I personally like this format much better and appreciate it being monitored so that trolls can't just come along and tear the place apart.
To sum it up, anyone who still posts over there knows what they are going to have to deal with, and I really don't think anyone cares about that place anymore.

I got curious and read the ESPN board last night after Somer posted this. I was appalled at what was being said over there (by Block and other members.) The best thing to do is to ignore things that you don't like. He is to the point of no return. His comments on Sharon were slanderous and disgusting and the only way to keep him from posting like that is to ignore him completely.

Well...I'm at the top of his list, and I don't regret bashing him because of his continued treatment and slander of Steve Byk. There used to be a saying "Don't let your mouth write a check that your butt can't cash" And his slander of Mera exposed him to the core of his heart! "nuf said!

I'm not arguing anything in your post...but when you see someone hanging over the edge of a cliff by his finger tips, I don't think you would walk over and step on his fingers...that's all I'm saying!

I agree, Somer. The best thing to do is to ignore him. That way this can't go any further. It's asinine that it has gotten this far with the kind of things that were posted BY Paul and ABOUT Paul.

Well,Somer, as a professional, you would know better than I, but whether his problems are real or imagined, he overstepped so many boundaries that he needed to be told off. He might be sick, but he is not insane...therefore he is responsible for his actions and the tumult they bring to his life!

I agree Somer. It may surprise you to hear that but I really do.
I went over for the first time in months and read what was there and it looks as if its even worse than it was before we all left. Its not even funny in a Howard Stern fashion, its just awful.
Kicking a guy when hes down isn't the right thing to do.

No, it doesn't surprise me a bit, I know you and we've spoken off the boards enough that I would expect you to show compassion for the guy...sorry to give away a secret but I know you care and have a big heart!

Oracle: I don't think that any DT regulars stepped over the line! I do agree that the other trolls said some things that went too far. It's a sad story.
