Which one? Sadly, there have been a few.
The Frosty Mug debacle was one . . . . . he appeared to have been caught arguing with himself under two handles with two completely different personalities . . . . . he didn't react very well when asked, privately, if it were true. Unfortunately, my PM query used "Cowperson" instead of "Moderator." His reaction was out of all proportion to the circumstances.
"Lanny is a ######bag" was delivered by TurekGirl but you might not remember that line was, I think, part of a roughly 3000 post thread of epic, free-for-all turbulence.
Not any particular thread, but Sept. 11, 2001 was a pretty interesting, embittered day at Calgarypuck, before an off-topic board existed, where you learned things about people you never would have guessed before just from hockey talk.
The Jeff Gordon Jihad was going quite well until some posters unwisely started talking about it on the board, with word finally getting back to the victim . . . . who then turned up at Calgarypuck under his own name. The lesson learned? The best Jihad is a silent one.
One obscure thread that most probably don't remember revolved around one of our left wing friends going ballistic because the Americans had quite sensibly shaved off the top of a hill in Afghanistan with air power rather than charging up it whooping ala Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan to give the poor Taliban a sporting chance. It was a very entertaining debate.
The Gilbert debates. The misunderstood Savard debates. The misunderstood Val Bure debates. Dave Lowry losing the captaincy . . . good grief, Dave Lowry was captain of the Flames at one point!!!
