SITE NEWS: Fighting Against The Tipping Point

Tim, I like the way you run this site.

Smash: You’re going to have to accept that if you’re viewing a Texans blog, there are going to be STRONG anti-BESF feelings here. Some of them will be tasteless. In fact, most of them will.

but there are some people who just need to lighten up. I would agree that it is in poor taste to use Steve McNair’s death as a platform for trash talking (I am a Steve McNair fan), but aside from that and personal threats its all just internet talk. Some of it will be in poor taste. Just shrug it off and deal with it. And don’t tell Tim how to run the site.

An adult does what Tim did – reminded everybody to be nice, or at least not cross the line. A reactionary baby like BigBlueShoe goes to another site and calls for censorship. Which camp do yo think you fall into here?

While I appreciate your position, I respectfully disagree. I think the work and comments of the plethora of contributors here speaks for itself. Although I do regret that the occasional remark might turn people off to the site entirely, I trust that the majority of readers will balance the positives of BRB against the perceived negatives and make an informed decision as to whether it’s worth reading the rest of the material here. If a reader decides that one comment, or a handful of comments, makes this community a place he does not want to frequent, that’s his choice, and I respect that.

Best of luck to you guys for the rest of the season.

We have to be like the manatees that write for family guy, either everything is ok or nothing is.

I suck. Last night was obviously a late one, and I was swamped today. I promise I’ll have my take on the game up tomorrow.

Is there any point in talking about the game?

Do we even have a shot at a wild card now or are we two loses down the slippery slope to another disappointing season?

PS. Love the way you look after the site Tim. I don’t always agree with what is written or how it is written, but I’m a big boy, I don’t need to agree with everyone else and I can handle reading a bad joke.

Look forward to reading more from you in the very near future. Hopefully, the game between our respective squads in Week 16 has some playoff implications at stake.

What’s been happening DIB? Long time, no see.
Ooh, you’re going to love it over here. It’s like a city full of drunken, urine-soaked bums fist fighting and calling each other’s dead mothers whores. Be sure and not look them directly in the eye, though, or they may expose themselves to you and whatever poor passersby who may be within sight, all while raving about Freedom of Speech and Andre Johnson…
It’s anarchy, like the comments section at NFL.com.
No! It’s like Lord of the Flies with less adult supervision!
It’s beautiful…

Seriously, I know why the Titans are the most-hated team in the division by the fans of every other team in our division (and the reasons are different for all 3 teams), but what have they done to cause the ire of Dolphins fans?

And it’s not just you, I’ve seen a few other Dolphins fans around mention not liking the Titans. I think it’s weird, because I like the Dolphins.

I’m genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument or anything. Would you mind elaborating?

Is Olinda Mare still kickin for the fins?

Good one, choker! Er…I mean joker.
Oh, no I didn’t.

Should we ban him? Delete the post? Take up a collection for therapy? Honestly, what is your point?

Idolatry really puts a face on it though, and for some (a lot) of Texans fans, he’s just going to be another guy who was with the enemy. While it’s sort of heartless when you really buckle down and get super serious about things, pretty much anything that most people joke about is.

I dunno, if Matt Schaub got murdered tomorrow it’d be a sad day for the franchise certainly, and a reminder of how fleeting life is. But I don’t think it’d have much of an impact on me as a person. I would probably think “that’s noooot right!” about jokes about his death for awhile, but I mean, it wouldn’t actively make me feel angry or anything. People are assholes, for the most part. Even moreso on a medium where you can maintain and conduct yourself as relatively anonymous.

Which is sort of a long way of saying “I understand where you’re coming from, but in the long run it’s probably not worth getting bent out of shape over.”

What does it happening on a national holiday have to do with anything?

when arguing with a fool, at the end of the day, what does that make you?

Is there an edit button for comments?

That scene in Talladega Nights when Ricky Bobby tries to discipline his spawn-of-Satan children for the first time after a lifetime of letting them run around pissing their pants and kicking random people in their dicks…Maybe Tim should have his mother give you all a stern talking to next.
