My final word on the 'saga'

however, if you respond rationally and without emotion, you may still get insulted.

I believe that everyone should be treated equally, that means that I would probably get a warning too, which I accept because of the ramchop like manner in which I went about trying to expose him.
That is a shame to hear andyhawk, I don’t believe I have seen it. Of course there have been flare ups, but it is difficult for me to remember any specific ones that did not involve ramchop in it’s genesis.

I do not want to set up any rules, but I would like to see some form of mediation of the current rules from those with the ability to.
Again, I can’t state enough that I believe in freedom of speech, but I cannot accept the way in which people will come to Chop’s defense because of his tenure here.

Without meaning to be too rude, but chop has an affinity for stating the obvious in his posts, and while they may state a commonly shared opinion or even MAYBE a ‘fact’ once in a while, they are always eclipsed by the abrasive manner in which they are presented.

There is a way to be critical without being a d**k.

I would love to see a day when edchop as you call him would actually present a point in a manner that isn’t abrasive or antagonistic.

appreciate it :)

appreciate it.

As I like all of the tst community! I probably read every post…and I’m with you Knox! I know I don’t agree with everything said on here but ain’t that what a blog is? A place to agree or disagree? You got a good point tho…if you don’t like what’s on…change the channel

communities operate better douche free

and I hope you understand that censorship is the LAST thing I want to see on TST. The very last thing.

The purpose of this post was not to censor, but to request people in a position to do so to reason with chop. There is no way he’d listen to someone else on TST, but he may listen to one of the authors seeing as it is clearly his greatest aspiration to join their ranks.

he’s rec’ing every comment that disagrees or questions my post, hence the insane amount of green in the comments.

Quite lame really, but up to him!

and I agree, although despite the gaping holes in his arguments, I can look over them, no matter how frustrating, it is however a pain that he’ll then move onto someone else after you have ‘defeated’ his ‘facts’ and say exactly the same things, filling the thread with nonsense and/or then resorting to petty name calling, which is not acceptable IMO.

How in the hell does one masturbate while typing on the computer?

Oops-I see now-that is BEFORE you post.

ok-I’ll drink to that

Some posts may be ‘poorly written’ but they can contain some great stuff and also alongside the increase in these posts there have been some absolutely fantastic stuff that is worthy of publication in my opinion.

I am in the camp believing chop to be ed, and there is no doubt in my mind they are one in the same, however it is of little concern to me, it’s just an indication that he may have bi-polar or schizophrenic tendencies or some form of attention deficit disorder. in no way is that an issue as it is harming no one here.

+1 about the calming down before replying, I’ll definitely do that before I do reply should I ever do so again.

I’m glad everyone has learnt to no longer feed the troll.

and I’m not the first nor will I be the last to be irritated by chop.

That you say you have not seen him getting hostile with anyone until disrespect was shown towards him is lucky for you, but is not the case. There have been more examples than I’d care to publish for you of him attacking other members for simply having a positive opinion.

The thing that people are misunderstanding about this post is that I am not against alternative opinions, I am all for them and I know that while being generally positive I was one of the many to be upset by our draft and even made a post called ‘Worried’ that outlined my dwindling faith in the FO. The only issue I have is the manner in which chop expresses himself, namely abusive language and nicknames and trolling.

and thank you.

It’s clear that the less anyone comments on his things the better for everyone it is.

Never will I ask for someone to be kicked off this site. I agree entirely with freedom of speech but I also agree with consideration for others.

I have not once called for RamChop to be banned from the site.

All I ask is for people to not feed the troll and for the authorities to keep an eye on the insults RamChop makes to other members. Not once do I say I want him banned or anything.

This post was also made with the intention of putting a sense of finality to the matter so that we can all move on.

It’s a shame you have felt like leaving, but as well as our team needing these new fans, these new fans need long time fans to share the information of who Youngblood, Deacon, Van Brocklin, Dickerson and Mike Jones are.
This is a forum for discussion and I’d hope that no one leaves unless their computer or internet breaks. We need everyone, including chop unfortunately, but even though we need everyone, we do not need to accept abusive behaviour, that’s all I’m saying and I hope you understand.

People have seen and come to a common understanding that the best way to deal with chop is to ignore him, and hopefully because of this TST will no longer have Chop antagonizing and insulting other members.

He used to be someone who’d at least post stuff up that made sense, but lately it’s gotten pretty bad.

And bookmarked so I can refer to others.
This and Ram_Rod’s may be the only ones I rec on this.

      Since his GBCW post. I had a couple of comments there, and that being enough I ignore anything he posts, regardless of how many times he calls me a turncoat for not kissing his ass.

Han Solo with the arrogance of wideout!

Yoda and Han at WR 1 and 2 with jar jar over the middle as a slot guy at 3, Darth Vader at QB, Chewie at TE, Jabba as the entire Oline… We’re set on Offense except for RB? who’d be RB?

Reading back on Ed-Chops posts a few years, he was famous for calling out under performing players. or players that were just plain bad. Other posters did that to in 2009. Who wouldn’t in a 1-15 year.
