So, is there freedom of speech here or what?

Nothing was suggested??

You only "suggested" that we have limited opinions here and that "a small handful of contributors (including the mods) that totally dominate the style and direction of every thread, every time, period."

Sorry but that's just wrong, ignorant and frankly insulting.

Once again the insults come hurling in. I've been given warnings about insults (which weren't even insults) when my opinion differed from the mods but somehow it's totally fine for all mods to hurl insults. And that goes right back to my original point: the pool of contributors here is very limited because of that kind of thing exactly AND as logic would follow the content also becomes very limited. Again, I did not say it made the site bad or useless, I simply said that it is what it is.

How have I hurled insults??

If the word "ignorant" is insulting to you then you are really touchy.

By the way you were given an warning for inappropriate language, not from insulting someone.

No Matt, Im not. You can wipe your chin from the Kool Aid, and YAWN all ya want, but the fact of the matter is that you and all the Kool Aid Drinkers have been 100% wrong. You supported an old man with old coaching methods refusing to criticize him at any point in time. Now its over and this team is left in the shitter, so you'll just blow off any criticizms, and jump back on the Snyder approval bandwagon, agreeing with each and every move he makes. God forbid someone challenges your ideas and then proves them wrong.

I just flew home and boy are my arms tired.

Seriously though, I locked the thread because it was turning into a bunch of name calling all around. The thread was headed nowhere and I decided to put a stop to it before it got out of control. We know what your intent essentially was ("to patronize" as DynamiteRave pointed out). And we all know that had we won the game and there was a thread offering "Amnesty" to people like you, then you'd be pissing all over the thread.

Now for the last time, I don't think everything is perfect with the team or with Gibbs. There is a lot the team and Gibbs has to improve on. No one is blind to that. But if you're done with the team, then quite frankly you should be done with the site.

And I'm changing my sig.

I know its hard to admit that Gibbs 2.0 was a failure for those of you who adamently stood by the man through thick and thin. The point of the thread was "its over." Let's get on the same page for once, stop drinking the kool aid and lets work for change.PSF...what tune are you going to be signing when we back our way into the playoffs at 8-8, and get to travel to Seattle in January?

Will you still be so down on Gibbs? I mean, there will be reason to be so, 8-8 isn't great, but will you celebrate the playoff birth.

See, I don't think you will. I don't think you will be willing to admit you were wrong about the season being over, since you aren't usually willing to admit your incorrectness about anything else.

You've pretty much painted yourself as a total hypocrite thus far. Everybody else should prematurely admit to being wrong so that you don't have to in the future when you are. So when a hypocrite opens a thread that serves a limited view of a single event and demands "amnesty" from far more thoughtful posters...you are going to get whats coming.

I mean, I'm pretty sure you can see that as is, but people who try to hide their wrongdoings behind "freedom of speech" tend to push my buttons in a way that few other events can. Consider yourself added to my sh-tlist.

Haha thanks for the Sig smooty. I just try to stay as neutral as possible. I agree with everyone depending on the day and how I feel. I agree with the kool-aid kids sometimes and I agree with the "Haters". But no matter who I agree with, I never ever hop off the bandwagon. Sure there are things I don't like but. *Shrugs* Nothing I can do about it. No point in pissing on people for not agreeing to what you agree to. That's what seems to be happening on this board lately.

The site needs more people like you. I said it last year and I'll say it again this year.

@paulskinsfan: you think Gibbs is the cause of all our problems. Many other people don't. Why go on and on about it, trying to get other people to think like you? If I tell somebody the sky is blue, and they say, "no, it's green," I couldn't care less. I know it's blue, and if they can't see it -- big fucking deal. Know what I mean? You seem so certain about Gibbs, yet you get frustrated with his supporters. Who cares if people support him? He's done good things, he's done bad things. Get over it.

@MTRedskinsFan:
From wikipedia: "Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is sometimes misinterpreted as a synonym of stupidity, and is as thus often taken as an insult." (emphasis added)

Calling you ignorant is not an insult. It simply means that you don't have knowledge of the situation. That's pretty accurate if you ask me. I'm not sure how long you've been reading, but you have only been posting for about 2 months. That doesn't make you very qualified to have an opinion about how things work on this board.

Wow, I was going to stay out of this one but I must throw in a bit. I have been here for a couple of years and not ONE TIME have I EVER seen this freedom of speech shit pop up. The people that continually complain for change...find another board to post that crap on. The people (Mods and Admin) here have given a vehicle to the TRUE FANS of not only the Washington Redskins, but NFL FANS as well, to express their views in an appropriate manner. Should your views rub a mod the wrong way...tough shit, find somewhere else to go if you don't like it.

I personally am tired of seeing this kind of crap on a football message board. I have chosen not to read threads that do not have anything to do with football or a topic that I am not interested in. Unfortunately I opened this crap and I could not refrain from posting.

Good Job Warpath Staff! You have done absolutely NOTHING wrong and the few bad apples that continue to bring this up time and time again....BAN THEIR ASSES and let's talk about some football for Christ sake!
