LTS Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago Since the start of the year the quality of this group has declined significantly. The recent spate of rhetoric, passive aggressiveness, and personal attacks has sealed the deal for me. So I am asking the rest of you for your input. I think what is happening in this club does not provide benefit to the overall forum as a whole and only serves to provide an additional pathway to negativity. The Sabres have provided enough of that on their own. I am traveling a lot this month and will barely be around to moderate. It's clear that despite repeated messages the intent to lower the flames here has failed. This has resulted in my decision to stop moderating this club. I will place a poll for people to determine the future. At the end of this week, by Friday morning, my interactions with this club will be over.
Demoted Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 hours ago Get rid of it, it's become a hotbed of false information and Twitter propaganda. 1
SABRES 0311 Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago IMO this club crossed the line the day “F off and die” was used followed by attempts to explain it away. Shortly after, the overt calling for the U.S. to “burn” down and advocation of people suffering to achieve a political/ideological goal. Whether in agreement or not this club has documented statements of a radicalized nature within less than a year of the current POTUS election. Shut it down.

Shut it down, but it really makes no difference one way or the other as the same small handful of participants really doesn’t do anything to further discussion anyway. It’s all an exercise in futility and a microcosm of where we are as a country. But thanks for taking the time and making the effort to moderate nonetheless.

While I don’t apologize for exercising my 1st Amendment rights, it’s unfortunate that you took such umbrage to what once was a common expression back in the 70s. I’ll chalk it up to the large generation gap that I presume exists between us. It’s also unfortunate that you took my sincere effort to clarify as a feeble attempt to “explain it away.” I didn’t think I needed to “explain it away” in the first place. If my “F off and die” post about Musk was the day this forum “crossed the line” then perhaps this is a fitting as my last post for me in this forum as the issue has now come full circle. Maybe I’ll give in to the nostalgia bug and order up one of these: https://vintagesponsor.com/products/70-s-80-s-*****-off-and-die-t-shirt-s-m In the meantime, please accept my sincere wish to you and yours for all the good this world has to offer. Peace.
