Beaver Fans are very touchy

PrintI just rendered an honest and perhaps blunt, but not profane post on "building the dam" and have just been informed that I have been blocked from their blog? I've never heard of such a thing.
I simply reminded them of some of the comments they had been making before the game (one that very blog) and pointed out why they should feel a little silly now that the game has been played.
As someone new to blogs in general, what's the deal? Anyone?

I notice it was Jake that banned you...
He’s usually pretty good. If it was CV, well…

Curious
Can you see who warned me? I’d be curious to know which story I made up about CV. I also wouldn’t mind discussing what gives that person the right to question my “honor” as a Marine.

How can you see that?
And just wondering, CV’s name is Chris right?
Alright time's up lez do this...
Well...
As admin, you can see warnings on any member of ATQ, and why they were warned, and by who, on any SBNation site.
That is all I well say.

Can you see how I warned all those people yesterday? I was just doing it for fun. I went through and warned ALL the USC fans (like Paragon and DC Trojan). Just for the principle of the thing. I like those people! But, yknow.
Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

Warned
I didn’t read your post yet, but I went on BtD earlier and was officially “warned”. It said I made up stories about someone there. I think they were referring to a post I made on ATQ. They proceeded, in the warning, to refer to the fact that I’m a Marine so I should have enough “honor” to not make stories up about people. I was about to try to contact someone about it because I did NOT make up any stories, AND the post wasn’t even on BtD. They are going to ban me for something I said ON ANOTHER BLOG? Sigh. This is getting a little out of hand.

I got a warning for telling CV that he was "slinging shit"
And he proceeded to delete all my posts from that thread, which were quite good points about Duck football and Nate Costa that he coincidentally wasn’t able to answer.
Alright time's up lez do this...
Jake has been laying a swearing hammer down over there
and rightly so. Things were getting out of hand.
--www.AddictedToQuack.com, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yes
People jumping in on BtD “venting frustrations” immediately after the win were pretty brutal in parts. I know there were several posts that people may not remember correctly because of the emotion of it all.

This was even before that...
In CV’s question to duck fans.
--www.AddictedToQuack.com, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
So it was Jake that issued it?
The phrasing of the warning screamed CV.
Alright time's up lez do this...
I think they are a tad touchy
I was reading the Civil War thoughts thread and noticed that people were very quick to accuse Duck fans of talking trash when they really weren’t
if your team just got completely outplayed...
…on the cusp of their first rose bowl in over 40 years, you’d be touchy too.
We don’t have to talk crap, and it’s awesome.
--www.AddictedToQuack.com, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Agree. We need to be better than talking crap about it all. Congratulate your opponent, shake their hand and don’t rub it in their face. That person who you are rubbing your ass on could be 400 pounds heavier than you next year

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
We don't have to talk crap...
Because facts win out…
In one of the biggest games of the last 10 years of OSU football…up there with the 2000 Civil War, the OSU Beavers gave up 694 total yards and 65 points, and were thoroughly dominated.
That is all that needs to be said.
It’s a beutiful thing.
--www.AddictedToQuack.com, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
It's "that time of the month" for BtD, in a way.
We need more chocolate, ice cream, and chick flicks!
Alright time's up lez do this...
Yeah in my post I wrote the same thing
I would understand any shit talking being flung our way
But really, 700 yards and 65 points in OUR house should say all that needs to be said…

In my honest and humble opinion, sometimes a smile when referencing the Civil War from a Duck fan gets under my skin then shit talking. At least when someone is talking shit I can say “well at least I have more class then them”

I could understand your confusion, because you don’t follow Cal sports as well as I do. Fair enough.
TwistNHook is the name of the “Lynch family gang symbol” that they use in celebration. Put the thumb out and wrap the ring finger behind the index finger. To wit:
That is Lynch with, I believe Robert Jordan, his cousin, who also played for Cal and was briefly on the Niners and SI writer michael silver (who attended Cal). Silver looks SO white!

Almost my point
Right now anything other than “good game” and “we have a lot of respect for you” on that site will not be well received.
Like my mom use to tell me about our crazy neighbors “I’d just stay off their lawn”
In Jake's defense
He was warning everyone. That post that CV had really lit a fire that turned into an inferno.
Hell, I even got warned. I think he was trying to send a message, that’s all. Jake is smart; he knows who the good posters and the bad posters are (insert CV3000 comment here lol) and wouldn’t really ban someone unless it was deserved. My guess is if you do get banned, he will answer any question with a solid explanation and I’m sure things will get handled

This loss wouldn’t feel so bad if I didn’t have to see all my Duck friends’ statuses:
“…loves the taste of shattered Beaver dreams”
“…knew the Beavs had no chance”
“…how do those roses taste now BEAVUR FANS!”
just a couple that I saw…it sucks

Hey guys
I’ll be honest, and I think I’ve said this before: There’s not really enough time in my day for me to frequent AtQ. I try, but it usually just doesn’t happen.
Thanks for putting up with me… I’ve started my blog four years ago and 3-4 people read it per day for a long long time. I’ve stuck with it, made some good decisions, made some bad decisions and took some risks.
Perhaps I made some wrong decisions in taking action against some of you the past few days. I’ve seen what successful blog communities look like, and in most cases, they exist without profanity, etc. I try to let as much fly as possible on BtD, but in the grand scheme of things, my parents read the site, as do my grandparents and a lot of other people I interact with everyday, and I want the entire site to be as positive as a place as possible. Something myself and other college football fans can be proud of. I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to limit what you can say over there, I just think in most cases it is unnecessary.
I was a bit harsh against users such as “suckmyduck” who registered after the Civil War to make a comment on Building the Dam. It would have been a different story if you had gone to AtQ first to celebrate, or been a user for awhile, but the fact that you came to BtD first to post didn’t sit well with me. Besides, how am I supposed to know what you’re like if you sign up with the username “Suckmyduck” in the wake of a CW victory and start going off? Might have been aggressive, but I didn’t feel it was necessary.
That being said, I’ve got a lot of work left to do on BtD. This season has seen insurmountable growth for my site, but I’ve started to pick up some baggage in the process. Bear with me.
And great win yesterday, Ducks. I was running on Autzen last year, you guys did it this year.
I’ll try to make it back to this thread tonight to respond to your comments. Thanks.

I can’t do it all on my own— in the wake of Thanksgiving, I’m glad I have people like VD and RVM to help out. We’ll see what happens to the other one.

You need to reign in CV then...because he is the one that is bringing the backlash on your blog
As I said in a post on your blog, when you have a personality like CV talking smack 24/7, prepare for a little smack talk back. Just an observation.
I figured as much....but I just want to say that you do an awesome job
Your material is always high quality and very enjoyable to read. It’s time like these that makes a blogger stronger…right?
Ha. Yes, I suppose.
I think I have it handled.

BtD
I really enjoy reading stuff on BtD. VD, RVM, you and most all the others are awesome. I do have a coupld of questions I hope you might be able to answer. Maybe we should take it offline, and if so let me know and I’ll email you:
1. Can you tell me who issued me the warning on BtD? After reading your post above, I’m going to assume that it wasn’t you because I was warned for something that I wrote on AtQ, not on BtD. Which leads me to…
2. Would you ban someone from your site for something they said on another blog? Another website? In an email? In a conversation?
If you want to take the conversation offline, I’m okay with that. I’m posting the questions here because I think others can benefit from the answer question 2.
Thanks, Jake. I’ll continue to frequent BtD until you kick me out of there!

1. CV
2. Not sure what his intentions were, and he only issued a warning, so I don’t see it as that big of a deal. Perhaps something you said made him made, I’m not sure of the particulars.
Any further questions, let me know.

Thanks
I appreciate you taking the time to answer that. It’s the first time I’ve been warned, so I honestly wasn’t sure how big a deal it was. If it’s not a huge deal to you, it’s no biggie to me. Knowing the answer to question 1, I will take it with a grain of salt. Call it water under the bridge?

This here is just one great big ole luv fest, aint it? You got Ducks and Beavers and Bears starting these bromances all up in here.
I tell ya, it just aint natural-like.
Go Bears!
Yeah well he gets 5 Riley nickels
For referring to this as a love fest. It’s more just us Beaver fans trying to be as nice as possible so that we don’t have to hear the combination of 6-9-4 or 6-5 anywhere in here…

1 Bellotti Buck and 5 Riley nickels
That will buy me Betty Bruin and a six pack of beer. Which I will need in order to snuggle up to a bruin.
Some Beavers obviously just have no taste.
Go Bears!
Been meaning to ask you...
Is your avatar Walter from Big Lebowski?
Alright time's up lez do this...
You sure?
Looks an awful lot more like John Goodman than Jeff Bridges…
Alright time's up lez do this...
“ABIDE” works better for Dude than Walter. If it’s Walter it doesn’t make as much sense… at least to me.
That's true.
I couldn’t really read the bottom text anyway. Thanks.
Alright time's up lez do this...
Arby has it right … it’s the Dude. The avatar is modeled after the Obey Giant graphic, created by a young designer here in LA about 10 years ago, and which sort of spread like an Internet meme.
Too much information, I know. In any case, bruins are disease-ridden skanks. When playing with one be sure to use a trojan.
Ba-ZING!
Go Bears!
Ba-Zing indeed....
Right now, Ucla is my favorite team. I don’t think we deserve the Rose Bowl but I would LOOOOOVE to see how screwy things would get if the Bruins were able to upset the Love-Gloves of USC. Think of the fun, argument filled posts we’d have to discuss on here?
It would be maaaaaad. I mean, complete bowl chaos and in a way a great opportunity to expose the flaws of the PAC 10 bowl agreements for the future commish.
Anyway, a boy can dream, right?
Guilty of joining BTD after the game.
Jake, thanks for your posts. It you had been the first BTD writer I had encountered rather than CV 3000, I wouldnt have joined just to respond to the “Lets laugh at them” post.
My post wasnt rude or condesending and I couldnt understand why I had been banned. Now I understand. Your reasoned explanation has restored my respect for “true” beaver fans.
The sad thing that CV doesnt understand is that he is doing far more harm than good. Rather than fostering good natured banter, his disrespectful comments create an atmosphere that more closely resembles true hatered. I think he needs professional help. Really.
Thanks again Jake
Great screenname...
