Hey Sultan....

Last Memorial Day weekend…when we had thread that went on for three days about the value of a new arena in MIlw…I posted that it would be great for the community…you posted study after study that had a different conclusion…which is fine…reasonable people can differ…and when I have an opinion that I hold to be true, I don’t ‘cry uncle’ and change it very easily…and reply repetition is not persuasive. I thought we pretty much covered the topic.

I was getting PMs that indicated the issue had become tiresome to the board and it was time to go back to MU basketball topics….so I locked the thread …said that we had to move on…..and left for a Sunday dinner with my family….I returned at 10pm on Sunday night… to discover that you called me a ‘*****’ in a separate thread…and about 25 posters replied that you were an idiot.

…and after having posted 10+ posts over a three day period in the thread that I had locked…somehow accused me of ‘censorship’….WHAT? Ummm….I think censorship means preventing someone from expressing their thoughts…I locked a thread!?

Anyway…I left the board for 5 hrs and it went to hell…I try to operate a professional board…ie.."a big boy board"…my name is on the board….so I tend to be responsible for the content and quality…. and I don’t want to be a babysitter on the board…..I don’t have the time… some posters obviously cannot handle this…and many months later you are still posting about this…so I wanted to set the record straight.


I don’t know if you are a 15 yr old kid in his parent’s basement or this century’s ‘Ben Franklin’……but if you want to call me a ‘*****’ in the future have the guts to sign your name…not act like a little school girl with a screen name…

Here is a standard to live by….Would your employer…clients…students…fellow teachers…professors…patients…family members…friends…neighbors…be disappointed in you if they knew you came on a Scout.com message board and called the moderator a ‘*****?’

If so, don’t do it…if not, then comment but sign your real name…my name is there for all to see….

I banned you because I could not trust you and I don’t have the time to babysit the board…there…I have set the record straight…
