Ok...so this doesnt further devolve..... Lets ask and answer four simple questions out here in public and then move on from trying to put people in timeout.
1. Is Sean (or anyone else not wearing a VIP or Moderator tag) not entitled to express their opinion, even if its unpopular?
2. Is it possible that a multitude of people on this board are knowledgeable regarding Longhorn Sports and History? (Randolph Duke for example).
3. Do we need to come up with a list of posting commandments like OB has to avoid situations like this ("Do you know who I am?" moments for example)
4. Do we need to come up with at "tag" for certain posters to give the 'regular" users an idea of what they may get into if they want to debate a "VIP" for example?
What I think:
1 - I don't care who you are people, if you want to get it on, bring it. It's debate and sparring that makes this place fun. Save the death threats and severe belittlement, but we are adults and all (should) realize at the end of the day it's just the internet.
2 - I think so, and I'm glad to have them around. I'd like to have even more (I enjoyed the ex player from Thanksgiving for example)
3 - I'd really hope not.
4 - I don't have an issue with wanting to recognize someone as special, but I do think if someone is absolutely off limits we should take steps to preserve the relationship while allowing the person to speak. If there is no one "off limits" then we should treat everyone the same.
Weigh in people. Its your site.
