QUESTION???

[SlapShot]

Where did the "state of the union...uh, uh, I mean Lumpy's" thread go???

I came back to re-read the thread, to add some insight, and update some of the improvements that Lorainne and Mike are working towards but it seems to be deleted. I'm not quit sure why this is, but I think it's BULLSHIT!!!

If this forum is subject to personal censorship...I want no part of it. Please explain the reasons that the thread was deleted. And apparently I need to find out the rules of posting on this forum as well.

It's funny, Mike was telling me just last night that "we foosers" need to quit calling it his and Lorainnes tournament, to quit calling it his and Lorainnes website. That these things were set up for the foosers and weren't to be considered to be controlled by them. I think this surely proves that theory wrong...Again, Please Explain!!!

If the foos group DOES NOT have the freedom to express their thoughts and opinions then what good is an open forum? I truly don't understand the motivation behind deleting posts/threads unless they are vulgar and full of profanity. If you feel that surpressing our voices is in the best interest of foos I'd say you're sadly mistaken. If you don't want us to participate don't set up a forum, don't invite us to post, and I'm sure we'll be happy to leave "your" toys alone. Again, Please Explain!!!


Really Pissed...

Slapshot,
Oh great our media is brainwashing with propaganda, and now we are censored on our foos thread. It is just another sign that the elitest are trying to controll the masses L.O.L. . Can you say Manchirian man.
It's the beginning of marial law and socialism.
First we can not post our thoughts. Then the they'll use jedi mind powers on us "these are new balls" and one swipe of the hand in front of us we'll repeat "o.k these are new balls" another swipe of the hand in front of us "you don't really need new rods" and we'll repeat "we really don't need new rods" another swipe of the hand "a dollar a rack is ok" and we'll repeat "a dollar a rack is o.k." L.O.L.

Guilty, guilty, guilty, as charged. I have responded to Lee and apologized for my misdeeds. I will never never ever ever delete another message unless it is vulgar. Deletions were nothing personal against anyone, and if this was impression it was not intended. I do understand how someone could get that impression. I do support free speech for the foosball world, America, and all inhabitants of Earth and the universe. Swipe, Swipe.

Below are some rules for posting that I'd like to nominate. If there are no objections, they can be posted for acceptance. If there is something that anyone would like included or deleted, let me know.

Keep it clean, no vulgarity.
Use discretion considering we have a public image that can either hurt us or help us.

Greg Fowler and his guys at NBS should also have input here, if desired. Greg Fowler is a co-moderator.

Regards,
Lorraine

Thank fo replying...

I'm glad to hear that future threads are safe and won't be deleted.

As for the rules nominations...

I'm all for eliminating "excessive" vulgarity, however, random profanity and/or vulgarity is okay with me... In regards to discrection, I'm not sure what my stance would be on that since discretion is so subjective. I say let the Topics, Threads, & Posts roll, we are who we are.

Later,
