Yesterday's warnings and bans for bashing

:sadwave: Lorenzos
I for one found these Goodfellas entertaining. They brought a lot of excitement to this site. The reason they got out of hand was from all the people going into their threads criticizing and bashing them. I mean other than the foul language and return bashing their posts were quite entertaining. Come on who among us didn't get a chuckle out of the Jacked and Tan reference or the "holiday sauce"
If you didn't want to be exposed to the language or insults then why go into their thread to instigate? I'll tell you why, its like a bad car accident, you can't look away no matter how hard you try. Perhaps it was out of jealousy at the attention they received coupled with their sucess rate. They did generate interest and participation, and gave out winners at the same time. What more can you ask for at a handicapping site? Just look at how many page views their threads generated. Who can come close to generating that much interest?
I for one will miss the entertainment. I never tailed their picks as I do not buy points. Maybe its because I'm a fellow Goomba, but I think a lot of others will miss that comedy show. Good Comedy, great capping percentage, what more can you ask for. I know not everyone thought Dice Clay was funny, but these guys were similar in the comedy department. Maybe we all take things to seriously here. Just my 2 cents

I did not like the language or style, if they just capped, gave picks and had some respect to the others in this great forum, I would have no problem with them. Now on to winners with hoops.

If you did not like the language, don't go in the thread. lol I know you can't help it. Well, keep in mind this is an adult site with adult material (gambling, and yes nudity lest we forget the MOJO forum). If you don't like the nudity don't go in the MOJO forum. Similarly, if you did not like these fellows then don't go in their thread.
There are things I don't like here either, for example the memory which will forever be etched in my mind when I clicked on the "2 girls one cup" thread in the MOJO forum a while back. But hey, we all come back cause its a great site, everyone has differing opinions. These guys were nothing compared to other things that were viewable at this site. The language used was no different than what you hear at the track, football games, or other sports or betting venues.

Well when it got to the point of calling guys out call their ladies whores and how they fucked them the night before, just got out of hand but that is me, and why I do not read the post any longer. I am sure you love them and use the f word in your daily language. That is you and not me, not saying I am better just see things differently.

Are they permanently banned or placed on probation?
They were offering solid picks, but their actions were like a dumb 12 year old with their insults, etc.

Let them make their picks then lock out the thread.
That way no one can post on the thread nor can they.
Kinda like a dictatorship, jeez. How bout if you don't like what they have to say, DO NOT ENTER THE THREAD. Noooooo, someone would actually have to use common sense to practice that route. 13-1, just sayin
People like to bash and I don't want it and I'm not having it on this site's handicapping forums.
13-1 is called a luck streak. Keep following and you will lose your ass. I promise! He needs to hit nearly 70% to make a profit and he's not going to do that long term. Wanna bet?
Regardless, he will be posting his picks here again but I'm still not sure what format I am going to use.
:toast:
I'm sure you'll come up with a good solution.... But you did the right thing, it would have never stopped., especially that thread yesterday, 3 or 4 guys going back and forth , back and forth, they sounded like a couple of angry wives. Like I said, I'm sure you'll come up with something a little different, or else the same shit again...:toast:
Roger that. Just wanted to make it clear, I am not laying that chalk, (well aware of the win /loss rate)hell I don't even buy the hook. I could quote 10 yrs of tracking with favs and doggys, and the % the hook will do for or against you in 3 different spread ranges. But I am interested in the % Dom can hit over the long haul, that is the gambler in me, lol. By the way, do you like holiday sauce on your eggs benny?

I was quite amazed at the show that Dominic put on , i'm sure that they were others that were entertained as well.
I'm sure that Dominic was amazing to himself .
I could see nothing wrong in that .
Over the line , pushed it to far , maybe so !
He did push the envelope .
Reminds me of the old question: If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one hears the tree fall .... Dominic posting his picks in his own thread shouldn't bother anyone , if you don't want to hear his shit , don't enter his thread and it won't make a sound !!!
Doninic "just possibly" might of been the second coming of Jesus, I don't know when or how Jesus will make his second coming, but the "bitches " I meant the church members that flock to this forum are to quick to crucify a person. :mj07: :mj07:
