It was nice meeting some of the gang last week, but I'm gone from this forum. I posted an opinion in the Off-Topic board about Kyle McLaren's hit on Whatever Zednic last night. I thought it was a clean hit that resulted in a severe, but unintended, injury. I guess I came across like I thought it was cool that Zednic got hurt...my bad for bad choice of words. But, it's no excuse for people threatening to elbow me in the face and calling me an ass hole and insulting my intelligence. Relax, get over it, it's just my opinion. Whatever... Bye.

I dont think it warrants LEAVING. There are @$$clowns no matter where you go. Being from Boston, you should know some people take sports a liiiiiiiiiitttle too seriously. $20 says they wouldnt react the same way in person. If anything, just lurk here and show up to the meets! BTW, did you check for that switch?

I read that mess of of thread over there. It seems that your words were taken as you were glad Zednic was hurt. People do have a difference of opinions, but some of the stuff said over there was kind of extreme. I would just take it as a grain of salt and not let it get to you. Some people just say whats on their mind.

I think it's common too for the "regulars" when they see a controversial post by a name that they don't recognize themselves as another "regular" they are more quick to throw around the insults. if they knew ya personally, they'd be less likely to blow up and more likely to find out what you really meant by your post instead of assuming you're a jerk.

I posted a reply on the off-topic thread, I'll repeat it here. I did not intend to threaten you Rob. I'm the least aggressive person you could possibly meet, despite the way I come across.
I saw the clip on ESPN and I was shocked, to say the least. Then I see your post in the off-topic forum. Instant reaction.
I regret my first post. Dont let this issue drive you from the CEG.
Peace, Ok ?

good riddens! (JUST KIDDING!!!) don't go. if the tables were turned, those people would be singing a different tune. take some time off, troll around a bit, but i guarantee you won't find a more supportive forum than this one. you're always welcome at the NE-CEG!

go ahead....leave.  no wait....did i say that?  don't leave....that's better. seriously dude, i replied on that thread. yes, your words were poorly chosen or easily misconstrude. at least in the way that i read them. i don't think i responded harshly. if i did, then oh well. its only a post. its only the internet. if people on their keyboard hundreds of miles away can "kick" you out....then that's too bad. i read the 'let me elbow you' comment....dude, whatever. don't let them bother you. if it really does bother you, buy a ticket, fly down there, then say 'Ok...Elbow me'. and see if it happens. seriously - you just bought another SVT....you lucky bastid....if you leave, IT IS YOUR LOSS!!! hahaha oh and if you DID think i was harsh - then ask anybody in this group...including the CT people. ask them if i am harsh. again, its words.....easily mistaken as threats or cockiness over a 20 dollar keyboard. later
