amarilloindy.com/110807/Editorial1108.htmlI think the Indy needs to do a story on local online forums. Don't we have three boards? Does anyone know if there are more? Every one of them are a bit different in their focus and the way they work. Might be kind of fun to see a story. Might also bring a few more people out and about.

You are absolutely right cat's. Interesting, but not surprising, how the thread quickly deteriorated though, don't you think?

Nope. I've seen it happen many times. Happens on the Panhandle Truth Squad blog all the time, too.

I occasionally read the other boards, but this board is pretty much it for me. Nothing against the other 2, but I just like this one the best.
That RMC has to be one of the most ignorant, unintelligent posters from the TA family tree. I am not surprised at all that he went into a racist rant. All of his posts are filled with all kinds of structural errors and I find it quite embarrassing that a fellow Big 12 university would even grant admission to somebody like him that obviously has such limited intellect.

He was granted admission? I'm sorry, but I didn't get to see his post...some of us aren't allowed to read that board.

You have this forum and the Hideaway.

Giving up? There is so much out there to explore. I hope he reconsiders.

I think he lurks on this board some, and goes to the Hideaway some. He said he really hadn't been on OCR for quite a while before all that b/c he'd been so busy. He didn't even know that you and I had been banned or why or anything like that. So, now that he's banned from there, too, he'll probably take whatever time he had to spend over there to the other two. I'm just not sure he'll be interested in a story about the forums.
Maybe later, though.
I'm pretty sure he expected to be criticized for having an unpopular opinion. I don't think he expected the backlash or banning.

I didn't know he had been banned. But now that I think about it, I am not really suprised. I think having a member of the news media as a poster can only help a forum. But then, I don't have my own forum, so I could be wrong.

I would be willing to bet that they got some new members out of the deal. Can't see anything bad about that. All anyone has to do is log on, read and participate for themselves, and then decide whether they agree with George's assessment. No big deal.
It was just an opinion.
