Because he told somebody threatening to sue he wasn't welcome in his busines?

It seems pretty clear that I'm not going to change your opinion on this, so I don't think I'll comment any further.

Looks like BYUMizzou is not coming back.

You may want to remove that. Just some advice....

Welp. The thread was removed for a while.

that proves you [kinda] right, but my question remains unanswered

Is linking to another board against the rules?

The rules here are pretty . . . fluid

Good board. Bunch of really smart dudes.

I lurked there for a while. Just not very active. Maybe it's better now.

i'd guess even less active than it was when you lurked.

Yeah, but once that happened, the man in charge was in a rough spot.

Belboz

10/6/17 2:46pm

Or, you know, recognizing FO shouldn't be moderated. That would be easy, too.

SandYFan

10/6/17 2:48pm

I agree.

Belboz

10/6/17 2:51pm

You of course meant FO only should be lightly moderated. We can't have a 4 Chan

shimmy

Why? It's FO.

SandYFan

10/6/17 4:20pm

Because it's not the dark web.

Not really. Jefe could have contacted him privately to address the concern

Skeptical Optimist

I feel like I'm stuck with no good options.

Belboz

benny1982

He was venting, and in private.

cheezedawg

10/6/17 3:29pm

And spent actual time researching it. Again, it's a message board.

benny1982

Of course it was over the top. Jefe has driven me to do irrational things too

Of course not. You’re not supposed to just believe anybody.

I neither said nor implied that Jefe was not a good guy. I said he has an image

Dread Pirate Westley

cougfanblue

10/7/17 9:37am

It works the other way too

Dread Pirate Westley

10/7/17 9:41am

No, it doesn't. He had done research and was quite specific in his plans.

cougfanblue

10/7/17 9:49am

Was he threatened directly or was someone blowing off steam in FO?

Dread Pirate Westley

10/7/17 9:55am

Should I just assume that it's always a joke?

El Jefe

10/7/17 10:02am

Help me with the facts here. Was the threat made and directed to your attention,

Dread Pirate Westley

10/7/17 10:11am

You know it was in FO.

El Jefe

10/7/17 10:23am

I read what he said he posted in FO. I did not know if there was anything sent

That's why yelp sucks.

cougfanblue

And since there's no equivalent for message boards, the analogy breaks down there.
