For the record, I was not using "hate speech" and I have concluded that WIS/Fox Sports does not watch the South Park Episodes re-broadcasted on FOX in syndication. I was referring to a very well-known South Park Episode entitled "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" (www.southparkstudios.com/guide/104/) . In an earlier post on the main message board, Diablo11 said that he was going on a cruise. When he re-appeared, I was jabbing him by referring to this episode. I was not bashing gay people any more than referring to Schindler's List would make me anti-Semitic. And like I said, this episode has been broadcasted on my local FOX affiliate.
Also, for the record, Diablo11 is a heavily negative influence on the board. I would refer you to the Big-10 board for just one example. Scroll back and you will see quite a bit of stalking behavior exhibited by him on Zhawks. Also, in the thread entitled "Is Diablo11 Mentaly-Ill" that has been deleted from the main board, you will see that there is a very large number of users that are very unhappy with him as an owner. He tends to spam boards, harass owners, and generally be an assclown.
Finally, he just posted "Enjoy your suspension" on the MVC board in Phelan. Do you share suspension information? If so, this is a bad policy. You guys are getting manipulated by a guy who is not just a sorry coach, but harasses others, spams boards, is a general *** to all users, and is going to drive away business for you if you keep banning people for retaliating.
