I got a slap on the wrist for insulting moon once.


It is the one infraction in my history I wear with pride and remember fondly.

I treated Scorp like utter crap when he first joined the site.
He was coming in real strong but the way I chose to deal with it was very poor. No one deserves that.

I was hard on Scorpion too. This is the hard part, he needed some leeway to get his feet under him, most new posters do, but then theres also posters who have had more than enough and just need to be tied to Anders Erikssen and launched into the sun.
Don't be too hard on yourselves. I deserved a right kick in the ass and I got it and totally appreciate it.

Moon was (may have got banned) posting at CFLhorsemen.ca and man he was way worse there than even CP. He's one old and angry dude that simply lacks the social skills to participate in online forums.

I think the MMF v RMillions feud found its way here, IIRC, it wasn’t confined to Twitter.

He is not even old. I went to University with him. Completely different person in real life too.

He has a strong dislike for me (and others who predated his joining), and that's fine as it makes zero difference to me, but man he would get so personal at times with those he disagreed with. quite the double standard at times.

Me I'm just a jerk all the time.

Really? That's actually very surprising as he to me at least sounded like a bitter old man that was raised in older times (he has said some racist stuff on both forums I have seen him post). I supposed most people are a little different in person compared to online but for some maybe it's more drastic than others.

Ha ha ha. I feel the exact same way about him which is why I wouldn't be surprised if he's a really good dude in real life. As discussed sometimes our online personalities can get a little out of control I guess.

Plenty of those on this forum, still, even though we disagree on MMF.

It was inevitable when you think about it.

I'm not really comfortable with previous posters being discussed. I'm going to close this thread for now while we talk as a team.

Thanks everyone for your input, we appreciate that you took the time to respond. We get that people care about this community and that passion shows through every day - its what makes this place such a great destination for discussion.

As I said above, we're going to review the feedback as a team and get back to you all with next steps. Thanks again.
