So is he but the difference is that he is bordering on lunacy with all of our lives.

If most people are as off the reservation as the posts in this thread, maybe that's not the worst thing.

Keep political comments out of this... I'm going to go back and edit anything that touches on politics in this thread.

That's not what those letters stand for. What's a matter? Why not just say what you mean?

If Obama fills out a bracket and it turns to crap I'll call him on it like all his other crap! Don't like it? Tough! Deal with it or put me on your ignore list. Either way I don't care. He is an ASS and I'll let as many people know it when ever I can!

How is what I said political? It was about economics. It is fact. And Heretic and FFT mod this forum. I'm sure they appreciate you helping out.

That's strange. The mod roster at the bottom of the page says you only moderate the Track/CC forum and the Swimming forum. Maybe you should alert Justin so he fixes that for you.

To be more specific. I have the powers to mod all the forums. I know LJ has asked before for help to keep political comments on the political board. I was keeping watch on anythign Obama related to his bracket and things started to take a turn for the worse, so I'm going back and taking things out now.

There are a few moderators that have access to everything. But the moderators listed at the top of forums are the people you should go to if you have specific questions or problems regarding a forum... it's to make things more clear for you.

Feel free to have Justin tell you what I just did. He'll explain it for you too.

2 points:

1) I had Kansas winning it all in both brackets, I'm not completely boned because 95%+ of other entries have Kansas winning as well, and I have Kansas St. and Baylor in the final 4 which few people have (along with Kentucky, which many people have).

2) For those that watched the early morning Sportscenter, you've seen that the amount of time ESPN has spent discussing Obama's bracket has crossed into the realm of just plain strange. I was expecting to see highlights of the late games, not ESPN anchors pimping legislation.

Perhaps some of the early-morning sportscasters just had their health insurance dropped? I'm sure they will do the responsible thing and cancel out of their internet and cell phone contracts, applying the massive savings to their new health care policies. That should cover the additional costs nicely.

LoL, really? I was being quite literal. I have the power to moderate all the forums... which I literally do. I have the moderator capabilities to do so. Try to find an instance of me abusing moderator powers. I have yet to ban one person, I always send warnings to posters.

September63 trying to play it's us against "the man" card again... surprise surprise.

I was expecting September to show up yesterday for the mod bashing. Anyway, this post is as political as mine was. I will await its deletion.

Ok, so if you agree with the political talking point it can stay, but if you don't it has to go. Got it. Just want to make sure I have the rules down.

I've read over this post and didn't think there was anything really politically charged about it. It focuses on the personalities on sports shows and talks about them... nothing to do with criticizing politicians or talking about policies.

He briefly brushes on health care, but doesn't really say anything one way or the other, so there isn't anything I'd be worried about here.

If some other mod sees something different with it then they can change it. But to me this is a harmless post.

Due to the general snippy nature of this thread, I figured it fit in with the other politico stuff, as it's being as argument-strewn as the average Obama-related thread, even if not political in nature.
