SDS

Thanks for the discussion and your support everyone. If I don't have your support, then thanks for understanding, if I don't have your understanding - well then go Sabres! I'll close this thread with the greatest decision/rebirth song ever written...

I have written a dozen posts today, 100/1000s of words and have deleted them all. My better judgment says to just stay out, but just a couple words if I can actually manage to complete this one. I saw no end to these types of posts: Is there any respect shown for anyone with these posts? Any consideration? Chz is an adult now. By my calculation a very late 20's adult. She could be married and ready for a family or maybe is crushing a new career. Does she deserve this? Is this justifiable in the name of healthy cringiness and thought-provoking contrary analysis? All I see is disrespect and ZFG. I didn't even mention the post where he worked in child molestation (just to tweak the mods because all volunteers deserve to be constantly tweaked and pecked at), the pictures in his profile nor the rehashing of yesteryear's battles that chase universally loved and respected posters away. The Sabres are writing a new chapter in their history. The community has evolved, but sometimes the evolution doesn't reach everyone. I truly want better for our community. Or maybe I just want to visit a place where I don't have to tense up every time I open a thread. Maybe having both isn't unreasonable...

Thanks Obama.

I am very cognizant that there isn't one correct way to run a message board. Ask 1000 people what to do and you get 1000 different answers. My way is no better than anyone else's way. However, you can't implement 1000 different methods. You can only implement one, so public discussions just make people angry because it isn't they way they would have handled the situation at hand. (A primary reason being that in a situation like this most people have partial information and no two people have the same partial information. No one is privy to everything that has transpired both public and private over so many years, so their opinion is not fully informed.). I therefore rarely discuss this stuff in public. There's no point. Second, having a one-sided conversation is also not fair to everyone involved. It's not fair that I am free to say what I want without rebuttal. I choose to respect that asymmetry. Given that, there isn't much to know. This wasn't a single event, so there really isn't much to say. This was a 1000 ft view decision, not a heat of the moment one. X checking out was just a public example of what I was feeling myself. Please don't take that as a sole event. It was just one of many under consideration and it happened to just be a very recent, but very symbolic example. So, there's nothing really more to see. As I explained to him, it just isn't a good fit anymore, for what I want this place to be, which is a shame since he did possess a lot of Sabres/hockey knowledge.

I don't know. They put 41 shots on goal. Seems as though there was enough will for that.

I see what you did there…

Back to the second goal… It's the magic of the number 19!

When is it a waste to have too many good players?

At the laundromat. Drain pump broke this week. Nice to see a lead for once.

If you were truly interested you would have sent me a PM. I wrote him a thorough message explaining my reasoning and I think that is sufficient. Anyone who is concerned about the community should wonder why http://forums.sabrespace.com/user/333-x-benedict/ this is acceptable. I eventually came to the long, deliberated conclusion that it wasn't. Although the supporting reasons were many, it really isn't more complicated than that.

You say this like it is Thursday or something.

That loser is busy smoking a stogie with Pegula in some fancy office somewhere.

Especially in the post Fifty Shades of Grey era.

She went to college (she was older than me). Parents sold the factory to Yanceys. Great girl.

Factoid: I dated the daughter if the original owners of Yanceys.

He actually called Howard last night and told him about it. Howard chose to talk to him on air.

We use it here Giant/Shell and I never once even considered buying anything extra because it gave me points. As far as I know it is just free gas. I shop at Guant anyway and I won't go to Exxon unless I have to (holding a grudge against them).

That was one helluva trade!
