BRB Notice: Detente (Must-Read)

PrintAs much as I've tried to let things be, the time has come for me to address an unpleasantness that's been growing here on BRB. I hoped that said unpleasantness would be something that was resolved organically, but it's become increasingly clear that I need to take a more active role in the process.
Soooooooo...let's talk about BigBlueShoe, a/k/a Brad Wells (proprietor of SB Nation's site on the Indianapolis Colts, Stampede Blue, and editor of SB Nation Indiana).
As a result of Brad's posts and/or interaction with others, be it on Stampede Blue, Mocking The Draft, BRB, or other sites, he's managed to alienate a sizable contingent of people. Many of those people are Texans fans who contribute to the awesome community we have here at BRB. Many are Colts fans who, angered by Brad's conduct, have boycotted any site to which Brad contributes; oddly enough, those displaced Colts fans have become valued members of our community, AFC South rivalry be damned. Some are fans of other teams who have observed Brad being Brad and have subsequently jumped into the fray. Regardless of fan allegiance, it's safe to say that in at least one way, Brad has been a uniter, not a divider.
Look, I get it. Many people loathe Brad. Likewise, I understand that Brad loathes a lot of people. Neither of those positions is likely to change anytime soon. What we--you, me, and Brad--can do is respect the fact that all parties are secure in their stance(s). Knowing that, it makes little sense to continue sniping about Brad. It's not productive, and it adds nothing to the debate. At some point, we have to accept reality.
To that end, I'm asking all of you to refrain from attacking, criticizing, or even mentioning Brad Wells/BigBlueShoe anymore here on BRB, whether it be on the main page, in FanShots, in FanPosts (including but not limited to the AFC South Open Threads), in the comments to any post, or anywhere else on BRB. I think the only way we can assure this will happen is to install a complete moratorium on any mention of Brad Wells, BigBlueShoe, or any other creative alias you might be inclined to foist upon him.
In my conversations with the SB Nation brass, I've been assured that this proposed cease-fire will NOT be a one-way street. To that end, Brad won't be stopping by BRB anymore, nor will he disparage any of you anywhere else on the SB Nation network. Should he violate this agreement, there will be consequences, beginning with me--the guy who doesn't ban anyone except spammers--banning him from BRB.
Many of you have e-mailed various SB Nation higher-ups about Brad; rest assured, they are aware of the problem, and they're monitoring the situation. I have personally spoken to people about Brad, and I am confident that they are not taking Brad's behavior lightly.
That does not mean, however, that Brad will be removed from his duties running/moderating Stampede Blue, SB Nation Indiana, and/or Mocking The Draft. While that's subject to change (just like it's subject to change for any SB Nation writer), Brad's not getting fired right now. Consequently, continuing to call for his head via e-mails to the SB Nation brass is not likely to garner the result you desire.
To summarize: Please refrain from mentioning or alluding to Brad Wells on BRB. If you do mention Brad, you'll get a warning from me and your comment will be deleted. If you do it a second time, more drastic measures may be pursued. In exchange for your help in this endeavor, I promise you that Brad will no longer drag your name(s) through the mud on any SB Nation sites, and he'll never comment again on BRB. The next time I see a comment from Brad Wells/BigBlueShoe on this site, it'll be the last; he'll be banned immediately.
As always, thank you for your time and consideration. You folks make BRB one of the best communities around, and no amount of words can describe how grateful I am for that. If you'd like to ask any additional questions, or if you'd like to continue this conversation, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

WTF did I miss this weekend?
Obviously, I must ask that question without expecting any real detailed answer from anyone…as it may violate the terms of the OP.
I can say this to everyone though: If Tim had to take this step, then it was not one taken lightly.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
As far as I know...
Nothing happened publicly this weekend to prompt this. Probably been cooking for a while privately. And, yes, I’m sure it was not a step taken lightly.

I kinda figured this was going to happen eventually
Of course I’ll respect your wishes, Tim. Thank you, as always, for our home :)
A quick (and serious) question though – does this also mean we can’t make mention of Stampede Blue itself? I.e. calling it nothing more than a glorified tabloid gossip rag, a joke site, or anything of that nature that doesn’t personally assault or attack the thespian Mr. Wells?
Sometimes there are things posted on that site that are completely stupid, and some folks like to dissect those things and expose their overall idiocy (such as unsubstantiated rumors and the like). I’m sure that can be done without mentioning the author.
Other situations might include someone posting a headline reading “Rumor: The Queen of England Eats Cats and Watches Child Pornography” to which someone would reply
/Stampede Blue’d
We can make it easy. We can keep it simple. I'll be waiting right there. Promise to be gentle. Sittin' by your window. Girl, you're so fly to me...
do that over there, or anywhere else
but Tim just said that BRB is not the appropriate place for it. And to e-mail him questions on this matter, if necessary.
He didn't make any mention of discussing Stampede Blue as a website
Just said not to talk about Bradley personally. It’s no different, IMO, than if another Colts blog, such as 18to88 or coltzilla, wrote unfounded trash. But if it disturbs the natives or whatever, then it is what it is.
We can make it easy. We can keep it simple. I'll be waiting right there. Promise to be gentle. Sittin' by your window. Girl, you're so fly to me...

I would like to start off by thanking the fine people on this site, specifically Tim,
For giving the Colts fans a home and allowing us to interact with fellow football fans through the Eternal Threads. With that said, I see no problem with the enactment of the new rules; I will gladly remove those references from my repertoire.
Now lets get back to the important stuff – LOLcats, football, and the occasional mention of boobies.

Boobs aren't dissallowed
Its just that Tim and a few others reminded me that several people are on BRB during working hours and that this may in fact get them in trouble…
Being unemployed i know how hard it is to get a decent job right now.
l agree, your boob-posting job must have been hard to come by.
So, what are the guidelines, exactly? When should we expect boobs to appear next? Sucks that they turned it into a part time gig for you, but it wasn’t for lack of demand.
I think i should save them for the weekend
Or maybe i’ll set up a little corner in the fanpost area… I dunno i’m still contemplating….
Not a bad idea
I’d recommend you drop a line to Tim.
One other really super important thing to consider is no pr0n. Not even a single nipple. Getting banned by Internet “security”^ companies would be really, really bad.
^ most of these companies, and the organizations that use them, know less about actual security than I do about stitching techniques. But that’s neither here or there.

Obviously you didn't pay attention in school when it comes to use of punctuation
an apostrophe after an s notates the noun as a plural. Hence I was talking about two of my cousins & each of their wives. Just to note I have a bunch of cousins (at least 10 from one uncle alone)

Also a notice that the picture COULD be offensive to certain audiences would be courteous.

And then for no reason he storms off…
But seriously...
where"s the line? I’ve seen people on this blog make fun of the holocaust, midgets, religion, drunkards, jews (didnt know if thats something should have been lump in with the holocaust), and several other minorities.
Anything can be considered offensive…

Hey man, I personally don't care.
I don’t get on this site at work. I’m actually busy, you know, working. I do, however, know of quite a few people who do who are good people and if their boss walked by their sad little cubicle while a comment with a pic of huge bouncing tits was popping up on their screen I doubt if he would go, “HUBBA! HUBBA! GIMME SOME O’ DAT!” It would probably be more like, “Please come and see me in my office.”
I would hate to be inadvertently responsible for someone getting fired.
It also cuts down on site hits as many people tend to avoid logging onto sites while at work that can get them fired, and sites that have hot-linking to “blocked” sites tend to eventually become blocked themselves by people’s work-site IT’s.
I don’t think anyone really think it’s offensive. They just don’t want to get in trouble for looking at porn at work.

We can make it easy. We can keep it simple. I'll be waiting right there. Promise to be gentle. Sittin' by your window. Girl, you're so fly to me...
And, for that matter, with the other party in the matter agreeing to terms?
It’s not one-sided after all.

I'm not implying anything here, and definitely not to you Tim.
BRB is a very well run site with a lot of great posts and freedom.
But can site editors, such as BBS, be fired? Like any other job, you have to run it effectively, properly, and profitably, otherwise you will lose your job. It just seems to me that BBS can do whatever he wants, while not having any consequences for his actions, at least not until now. Stampede Blue used to be an awesome and thriving community of Colts fans, but BBS banned almost everyone, including me. You should try and figure out why I got banned, because I haven’t discovered the illogical reason either haha.

Might be late, but did anyone see this?
Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson has been lobbying Asomugha to join his team, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
“Andre Johnson said he’s talked to Nnamdi Asomugha on more than one occasion and told the cornerback he should sign with the Texans,” McClain wrote Sunday on his Twitter page.
It's on NFL.com to.
Not surprised to be honest.I’m betting a few other players from other teams have done the same. The lockout has created some interesting opportunities for guys to lobby FA’s
No matter how bad it gets,I will believe.It's the only thing I have left for the Texans.
I think every player in the league lobbied Albert Haynesworth to come to there team after he left the Titans.

On a serious note about this.....
a law was proposed banning small breasted women from being able to perform in porno’s or be photographed for mens magazines as they look to much like “illegal” young ladies. I hope that bill died a horrible death in the halls of the House of Representatives. Not that I like the “illegal” young ladies mind you, but I DO like the full spectrum of boobs on “legal” women.

Question to The Tim - Is this issue fair game to discuss?
With the revitalization of the rumor: “Was Manning injured against the Texans?”; which was brought into the news by BBS, perpetuated by BBS and now that Manning has gone under the knife just last week to repair his neck vertebrae, has been brought back into the news by BBS in his expose, Peyton Manning’s Neck Injury Likely Did Happen in 2010…. can we discuss his editorial exploits on this subject?
