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

Dubious legal claims are okay right? That's like 50% of my posts right there.

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

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

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

10/6/17 3:06pm

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

Belboz

And of course byumizzou is blameless in this whole thing...

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

10/6/17 3:34pm

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

As far as we can see it was only in FO.

That explains all those bad Yelp reviews.

Dread Pirate Westley

That's why yelp sucks.

cougfanblue

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