Landlord Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I prefer it when everyone settles their own hash on the board, without moderator intervention. The threads with the snarkiest arguments have the most posts and views, so let's not pretend they drive good people away. The banishments have been pretty lame and inconsistently applied, imho. jmfb refused to go into the woodshed where stuff like that belongs. Thought it was beneath him. Don't be too negative on Huskerboard or you'll get banned. I get that he was frustrating, but cmon. He didn't get banned for being negative. He started getting antagonistic, got warned more than once to cool it, and then responded to the warnings by going even harder. This place has plenty of leeway and while I wish that he was still here because it makes for great entertainment, it's not at all hard to stick around if you have even a modicum of respect for the rules/mods. 3 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Was it something worse than suggesting a poster lived in his mother's basement and played Dungeons & Dragons? Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Was it something worse than suggesting a poster lived in his mother's basement and played Dungeons & Dragons? The old "attack the post, not the poster" should apply. I thought both sides got personal - but I could be wrong, it all tended to blur together. Moriene calling you a "schnotznozzle" or what ever shouldn't be allowed, either. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I was definitely attacking the poster, but at least I had the gang on my side. Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Real shame that your didnt take the time to turn on Sesame Street while you were/are living down there- could have helped you in your reading comprehension I will try to help Interesting DOESNT mean the same as as "great" Hope that helps And telling someone: this is NOT a ringing endorsement. B. Reilly @brandonreilly01 Idk why everyone's being so negative, give the guy a chance. I mean he has a solid last name that should count for something. Let's get it! Michael Rose-Ivey @Rose_IveyNB15 Follow Got a coach finally. Let's get to work. If this is our guy to get us over that hump then I'm all for it! Time to start a new chapter !! So you managed to come up with 3 links to refute the 85 links Guy Chamberlain posted.....got it! Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 NU deserves a top 10-15 coach, Riley isn't a top 10-15 coach Who are the top 10 coaches? Which ones would have accepted NU's offer? Same questions for 11-15. Why does NU "deserve" this? I really want to know who jmfb feels the top 10-15 coaches in the country are? We know Sabin and Meyer are 1 and 2, and from reading his stuff I think Rich Rod fits into his thought pattern. I bet we could throw Jimbo in there also. After that I am thinking Bryles, Patterson and most likely big game bob. That's 8 guys. Which of those 8 would be coming to Nebraska to coach? The next 7 I don't know about? If all opinions are equal in value as you say- just go out and ask the old gal crossing the street or the kids hanging out at the corner market That seems to work for you If you have a medical question or something say on economics or physics, go ahead and ask them too. All opinions are equally valuable remember. I know you're a coach yourself and I know that means something - honestly - but there appear to be a bunch of guys who know a lot about football at an even higher level, and the informed consensus was that Mike Riley was a smart hire for Nebraska: Rivals.com national recruiting director Mike Farrell tweeted that the hiring is a "home run." "I don't think Huskers fans realize what a well-respected game coach Riley is and how hard it is to win in Corvallis," Farrell wrote. Aaron Taylor @outland1997 Gut feeling that Mike Riley will be the Tim Miles for our football program. Congrats coach and welcome to the program. Tom Lemming @LemmingReport Only time will tell but my guess is Mike Riley will bring Nebraska back to national prominence. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Another interesting tidbit about Mike Riley is he opened all practices at Oregon State to media and fans. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Also the fact USC courted him in 2011, and Alabama offered him their job in 2002 intrigues me on what drew him to make this move now? Damon Benning @damonbenning Amongst his peers, Mike Riley finished 2nd in an ESPN poll behind Cutcliffe as the most underrated coach in the country. Tommie Frazier @TouchdownTommie Good Hire by NU today. George Schroeder @GeorgeSchroeder · Just landed to news of Mike Riley to Nebraska. Truly stunning — but that is a GREAT hire. Scott Shanle @scottshanle After hearing from many people who know Mike Riley personally I am optimistic about the future of @Huskers football. Dan Hoppen @danhoppen Mike Riley was heavily rumored to replace Pete Carroll at USC in 2010, Dennis Franchione at Alabama in 2002. He must like NU’s prospects. Mike Farrell @rivalsmike I may be in the minority here but I like the Riley hire for #Huskers better than the McElwain hire for #Gators. Thoughts? Zach Hannon @_HannonZach72 I stand behind you @Coach_Riley ! I love Coach Bo and all my coaches, now it's a new era. I'm a husker through and through. #GBR Jay Glazer @JayGlazer "@CFBONFOX: NEWS: #Nebraska hires Oregon State's Mike Riley to replace Bo Pelini>>Good for Riley, one of the nicest guys I ever met in NFL Mark McMillian @MarkMcMillian29 If Mike Riley offered my son or any kid I coach I would send them in a heartbeat this man is all about the kids & families #GBR #Nebraska Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH I liked this poll back in September because it was a vote of coaching peers -- and Mike Riley scored high on it http://es.pn/1Dc1ACC Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Remember this when viewing Riley's record at OSU. MT @Hlas Oregon State had 28 straight losing football seasons, from '71 thru '98. Jay Foreman @foreman5655 A few things that will be different:player development and pro off!! That alone I'm cool with! Chips in!#HuskerNation Greg Sharpe @SharpeGreg Excited to meet and work with @Coach_Riley can't wait to begin the next chapter of Husker Football. GBR! Brock Huard @BrockESPN No one in CFB I'd trust more with my son in his program than new NEB Coach Mike Riley. Judge this hire after you see the staff he assembles John Bishop @JohnBishop71 #Huskers could double Riley's OSU salary and still be on budget with last year. Look for assistant salary pool to be strong. B. Reilly @brandonreilly01 Idk why everyone's being so negative, give the guy a chance. I mean he has a solid last name that should count for something. Let's get it! Jon Nyatawa @JonNyatawa “He has done more with less at Oregon St than almost any coach I know" -- former NU AD Bill Byrne Jeremy Crabtree @jeremycrabtree #Pac12 assistant on Mike Riley: “Our recruiting jobs just got a lot easier. He was the best talent evaluator in the conference by far.” danny woodhead ✔ @danny__woodhead Follow Mike Riley was my coach at the hula bowl and thought he was a great guy #realexcitedaboutthehire 10:20 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Jordan Westerkamp @JordanWesty1 Follow Looking forward to this new experience with @Coach_Riley GBR. 10:37 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Paul Myerberg ✔ @PaulMyerberg Follow Mike Riley is the most optimistic, pleasant, gracious, accommodating HC in CFB. They'll absolutely love him in Nebraska. Michael Rose-Ivey @Rose_IveyNB15 Follow Got a coach finally. Let's get to work. If this is our guy to get us over that hump then I'm all for it!

Joel Klatt ✔ @joelklatt Follow I'm a huge fan of Mike Riley...yes, he is a wonderful person...he is also a GREAT football coach 10:25 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Sam Ponder ✔ @sam_ponder Follow LOVE that hire for Nebraska.

Jay Moore @jaymoore44 Follow Now I'm really liking this hire #Huskers #GBR 10:44 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Kirk Herbstreit ✔ @KirkHerbstreit Follow If it's done...great hire by @Huskers getting Mike Riley from Oregon State!! Dennis Dodd ✔ @dennisdoddcbs Follow MIke Riley was always squeezing blood out of a tomato in Corvallis. More infrastructure at Neb. Love the hire. 9:54 AM - 4 Dec 2014 Mack Brown ✔ @ESPN_CoachMack Follow Mike Riley is a great hire @ Neb. Super fit for both. Good job Huskers I would've given you all my +1's for today but the board software only lets me do it once. /glares at admins! Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 people, he wasn't banned because he disagreed with people. Heck, that's what this board is all about. He was banned because you couldn't have a conversation with the guy because all he would do is insult people. Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I thought it was pretty darn funny that a guy makes a big issue out of a spelling mistake and can't even form proper sentences and paragraphs with appropriate punctuation himself. Quote Link to comment

He was banned because you couldn't have a conversation with the guy because all he would do is insult people. That's not true. I considered myself his adversary. At least this past week. On some threads. There were other threads that involved no insulting at all. Looking through his posting history he doesn't even crack the Top 25 of trollers or insulters. He brought some knowledge. Sometimes he was even right. He didn't know when to shut up. Then again......it was pretty fun to poke him. On balance, the people insulting jmfb were giving every bit as much as they were getting. More, actually, cause his insults were painfully lame. Mom's basement? Dungeons and dragons? It was a misplaced banishment on a board that could use every bit of energy it gets. It was a lot more fun to put him in his place than to censor him. That makes him seem like a bigger deal than he was. Kinda ironic. An yeah....the application of the rules is definitely tilted against Husker skeptics. Quote Link to comment

But because it was 50 against 1, it's easy to ban the guy being ganged up on. I do understand the personal attacks and warnings, but the ban hammer should go both ways. He also needed to chill out, I hope the ban was temporary and not permanent. Quote Link to comment

He also needed to chill out, I hope the ban was temporary and not permanent. People didn't start being rude to him until he started his whole " I am the smartest man here B.S ". He would literally go out of his way to let you know that you are wrong and he is right because he has been around football for 236 yrs and has all the answers. When you disagreed with him on " fact", he would start getting sh**ty about it and would start to get personal and avoid the argument because he knew he was wrong. That is what got him booted. The guy did know his football but he was a total ass about it. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Guys, jmfb was banned after we raised the issue of his persistent belittling of other posters many, many times. He was then given a brief suspension at first, which turned into a ban after his response to the suspension notice. I liked the insight he brought and had no problems with his opinions one way or another; I think we all did, and we tried to give him a lot of chances to chill out. Unfortunately, he didn't seem interested. 4 Quote Link to comment
