For the record, I have requested feedback from posters and moderators on this matter. Freak alone, thank you for your honest response. As per a correspondence of less than thirty minutes ago, it sounds like AF is gone. Others must have missed it when, in a timely manner, he attempted to de-escalate. IMV, and I remind you I am a moderator as of this moment, that was very nice of him, while others were not so nice. Judgement call. If anyone here is triggered by AFs avatar, please PM me, as this is always the best way to handle this type of thing. I didn't get your "PM de-escalation" until 2 hours after you sent it. I can guarantee you that, after I read it, de-esculation occurred. I may have posted an inflammatory message after you sent your PM... but I hadn't noticed (or read) your PM by then. BTW, it was a beauty that many would have enjoyed reading (especially cthommes... since he begged for it). As far as AF goes... at no time did he try to de-escalate. If you have evidence of that, I'd love to see it. McRugby, Headtrip, and Mo all tried to steer him (and Totallybolted) away from the narrative they started pushing way back at the end of Page 1 (for anyone interested in a little re-read). By Page 4 (after several random political slights) I'd had enough. IMO, a good old kick to the balls was in order (akin to your dick-head post) to get the train back on the tracks. It was by no means the first inflammatory post of the thread. There is plenty of latitude given to certain posters and not to others. If you're going allow some posters the grace of non-moderation, then at least allow return volley. In my experience here, we all seem to wear Big-Boy pants. If AF ever does return (I actually like many of his football takes) then I suggest that an avatar change is in order (since it has been determined that PC be enforced). My autistic daughter and myself find that the cringy face and inflammatory quote (Sorry Freak) are offensive. If the Murph avatar upsets you, I can find another. It was actually imported during the "Say Goodbye to the Murph" thread. Page 12 last post on the training camp thread... The Greta avatar has been my avatar for the last 3 years, no time prior have you ever had an issue before. This is a sad and ridiculous attempt for pity... Your "autistic" daughter? please... I'm sure it really triggers her now versus the last several years its been there. Look at your avatar now... How incredibly immature. Lol trying to cancel my avatar and change the subject is hilarious. I might be back out of spite, who knows. Trippy was pretty disrespectful out of nowhere so I don't know we'll see. This whole thing got way out of hand and I applaud Woody for trying to put out the fire. Are you going to double down on your pride and douchebaggery or can we talk about football again?

Racist avatars can also trigger. A panoramic shot of SoFi is approved. Apparently, you've never seen "The Help".

Your 1st de-escalation "attempt" is purely an attempt to suggest that someone is too dense to get your point. I don't even think it was directed at me. We might be dumb... but we ain't stupid... Your 2nd de-escalation "attempt" is a veiled attempt tp paint me as a bad father that doesn't care if my daughter acquires side effects or long-term issues from a vaccine. Feign innocence if you must. Subtlety is not your strength. And if you want to trigger someone, questioning their parenting is an obvious way to do that. Don't let that shit ever happen again. While I've found your "Greta" avatar immature and douchebaggery, I've always viewed it as your personal way of dealing with feelings of relative incompetency compared to a daring young lady whose attempts to affect her world in a proactive way far exceed any of our lame attempts (myself included). It's the patented response of a bully. My daughter and I had a discussion about it. She understands the motivation all too well. I'll have Freak connect the dots for you. My response finally came after your ironic/insincere accusations of triggering. Greta remains a role-model for me and my family (obvious connections I assume are not needed). I really couldn't care less if you keep your avatar (the issue has been addressed properly here in the Boltnut household). Quite honestly, it was in response to Woody's strange and misguided/insincere plea for me to change my avatar. Luckily the avatar has been changed and all is rectified. Now Woody just needs watch the movie... and truly understand its deeper meaning. Maybe then we can get back to this blissful site... maybe even talk about football only.

Just for everyone's edification, "douchebaggery" is a noun, and should be used as such.
I propose we simply change the thread title and let it roll.

You know how Chic Hearn used to always say " Welcome to the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood ? " Well, " Welcome to Spectacular SoFi Stadium! "

I miss Chic Hearn... I heard Marv Albert is retiring this year too. Not many real commentators left.
