oh come on. Prolate is a great poster and I wish he posted more so on the football site. his film posting was must read over at BDC. I venture over to the political site time and again. truthfully, I only read Prolates posts (and post some of mine). Pro and I do not agree on most everything over there, but he posts numerous links that I would never venture to on my own. I get a different perspective reading his posts. I may not agree with his, but he adds a different perspective the guy felt threatened. that should not happen here. he should not be banned. the person doing the threatening should be put on leave for 1 month. bet that would end the threats Thanks rkarp. Maybe I'll start posting more about football at some point. As I said earlier, my interests have shifted more to politics than football over the past few years, and the bastards in the NFL no longer provide the coaches film to fans in Canada, so I can't watch the film and do the analysis anymore (that actually killed my intense interest in football—thanks NFL). Like you, I come to the political part of the forum to hear views I might not hear elsewhere in the media outlets I normally follow. I disagree vehemently with the politics of most posters here, but I like to understand their views. I can read conservative opinions from conservative pundits, but this is about the only place where I hear how average conservative Americans who aren't pundits think. That's why I continue to enjoy the political forum.

However he rarely sticks to football anymore. He’s insufferable otherwise

Prolate has every right to post here and though I rarely agree with his opinions, I strongly support his right to voice them. We could all do a better job of separating our posts into the appropriate places.
I'm also a little shocked that there isn't more blow back about the fact that the admin mentioned didn't act in a manner that would have stopped this before it became such a big deal. This is, after all, a Patriot's forum...do your job!

I'd just add that most of us (me and others—including even TSWFAN) who talk about politics do follow the rules and confine our discussions to the political forum. The only time we post political content on the main forum is when a thread introduced there is political in nature (Kaepernick threads, for instance).

That's why I continue to enjoy the political forum. I had forgotten about your film posting. I liked it too. I have three letters for you…VPN. ExpressVPN works like a charm. You can use it to show you are anywhere in the world. If I don't get DirecTV when I return to the US I'll be using it to buy the NFL gamepass.

Is it really legal though?

Why is this silly thread being pinned up top? Enough attention to the fake news and the likes of Prolate.

Well, let's just say you, Kraft, and I can share the same cell I figure I'm good to go unless one of my friends becomes President and a special prosecutor wants to get him. Then I'll probably be charged with some fancy sounding crime like conspiracy to defraud the NFL, international wire crimes, and whatever else they can think of.

I believe ADMIN did his job and you are not privy to the details To your 1st point, you'd know better than I but there are 9 pages debating the subject, so maybe not. Simply a disagreement of opinions.
To your 2nd point you are absolutely correct.

BDC forum had a politics thread in the Patriots section. Believe it or not. And any sports forum you go to today will most likely have an off topic discussion section. Why don't you ask Admin to add a filter for football only threads to the recent posts option. And has Proboards threatened to shut this forum down?
Folks, I bolded two spots, one in each of Wozzy's and 347pg's comments. Don't worry too much about this If ProBoards ever shuts this forum off, then, I will develop another - stand-alone - forum open to you and the World to see. Makes me angry and sad to think that the membership of the wonderful Patriots Fans here would collectively be lost. I won't allow that to happen! I will then give it over to TFB12 if he is willing or someone else. I would maintain the web-based forum for a while. I know of a few other Pats forums but they don't measure up as this one does ..... Long story on that! If this forum ever gets deleted suddenly by ProBoards, I will need a way to give notice to all through those other Pats forums. Or just do a search for "New England Patriots forum'. I know how to get you to number one on the search list by my 'Meta code' on the web-site. OK? For now, don't feel concerned about a shut down here; I doubt it will happen. Thanks to you all .... Wozzy, remember back on BDC you asked about another Pats forum when they threatened to shut down? I answered you by saying, "what exactly do you want"? I suppose you missed it .... lolz Thanks Palookaski. I have had a domain name purchased for a while now thinking of a couple different options. I like this place, I like the build and functionality of it. I assume we bring lots of traffic to this place, helping them make $ from the ad's. Hopefully we can keep things here for a while longer but certainly like your offer. Maybe PM me some more details.

It seems that there are a few people who spend more time in the political board and less time in the main Patriots discussion board where they have previously really added a lot of good Patriots talk. Would like to see more great Pats talk going on. As for someone feeling threatened.. I won't say if I agree or disagree if someone should or shouldn't feel threatened but from the posts that were reported I didn't feel they were personal threats. At least that's not how I viewed them.

This is a bunch of hogwash created by your "great poster" to garner sympathy and attention, because so many who post here can't stand him. Figures that you would fall for it, Karpie. Call this my Saturday Observation.

Hopefully we can keep things here for a while longer but certainly like your offer. Maybe PM me some more details. Yes, I will PM you very soon with more info. However, the membership deserves a response as well, keeping all informed is a good thing; Like on the Football field, everybody knows the job they need to do with the play called to be successful. So be it! Yes, I've learned a long time ago ( thank you Military) to communicate with worthiness to those who have the need to know. They know now that you TFB12 have spent some money to obtain a 'Domain Name'. What does that tell us?; That you really do care about this forum and its future. Well, I want you to know that the different options that you mention; is in fact shared by us. I was blown away when I counted over 400 membership. We both feel that, as well as most members, that we can't allow the World to beat us and we find other ways to keep the joy of sharing Patriots football together. There are just so many Informed Patriots fans on this web-site to allow it to fail. You - fans- are simply amazing with the excellent knowledge base of NFL/College football etc. After all, the Patriots are one of my/our main hobbies, don't Fvck with it. Thanks to all

And karpy can’t accept a football poster disagreeing with him in here before he responds with insults etc., yet we are to believe him when he says he is on opposite ends of the political spectrum as Pro, but he learns from him in thier civil political conversations! Yeah right!!!! LOL As far as pro feeling threatened, give me a break. If he felt threatened he wouldn’t have continued to engage the other poster! But some simpletons believe that ! LOL
