    As much as I love Frederic Chopin, and I'm sorry to be a grammar nazi, but it'll bug me if "choppin'" isn't spelled with two P's. This is Michigan, fergodsakes!

    Well, technically speaking, you're being the spelling police and not the grammar police, right? fishing

    Pls check your inbox. I love the concept and whomever thought up Blu Tang should get a free month or more.

  • I'm laying low on the badge thing until things cool down with regard to the recent Blue Board meltdown over racist and homophobic comments. I feel like it'd be bad taste for us to be part of causing a mass exodus from tBB, then reward ourselves with a new badge...

    ...of course that wasn't anyone's intention; however, there's a lot of reactionary people that worried about homophobia and racism not being part of the acceptable mainstream any longer.

    Lots of racism and homophobia, a large petition asking for mods to stop homophobic and racist comments on the board, then a bunch of complaining and parody petitions.

    Are the Michigan fans supposed to be avoiding tBB?

    No just expect some negative reactions toward you since you are a Michigan fan. They are blaming the Michigan fanbase only even though MSU was heavily involved and a few other fanbases had fans show up in support of the petition.

    I did get one comment, didn't know what it meant.

    If I get anything negative, I'll give it right back, I really don't care if I get banned.

    Yeah. It's gotten completely blown out of proportion. The reaction is just ridiculous. The mods are even pissed so you could very easily get banned. lol

    As the originator of the Blu-Tang Clan name, I accept payment in the form of hookers, blow, or Buckeye tears.

    IMO if the mods are pissed about a petition to end racism and homophobic comments, they should no longer be mods.

    I still never received a satisfactory answer as to why users (and mods) felt it was necessary to retain the ability to use homophobic and racist slurs on tBB. Instead, apparently all Michigan fans are just whiners. It was an excellent spin job by many of those opposed to turn the issue around to condemn people for "complaining" or "being soft." Not one person provided any reason why any of the words/phrases the petition was objecting to should remain available for use on tBB.

    There shouldn't even be an argument for racism and other comments of that nature. We don't live in the 60s or 1800s, we as a society are better than that, or should be. Anyone who thinks that racist comments or comments of any sort of that nature should be allowed should get there asses kicked.

    I saw a guy at the concert I went to the other night that had a giant swastika and other symbols of Nazi Germany tattooed along his back and arms and I was like "What the fuck are you thinking? You call yourself a true American, but don't even believe in the core principles that this country was made on."

    All animals are equal. However, some are more equal than others.

    (sure the wording is off a bit)

    Fine. Remember this?

    Remember, diversify. I removed the link. I didn't realize what the title explicitly said.

    No biggie. I have to admit that it's been a bit taxing to hunt down everyone's names and wade through all the inbox messages with everything I'm going through in my life right now.

    Just send me a PM, and remind me of your Blu-Tang name. There's been a lot of people who were on pages 3, 4, and 5 that asked for membership later, and some who expressed interest in the GBOD Crew thread.

    News flash: if you have to use hateful words to express yourself, then you are mentally and emotionally weak.
