Red, I gotta give my two cents. I know that this sticks in your craw something fierce. I expected Rev or cupie to explain things to your satisfaction but, since they have not, maybe I can.

You are correct in stating that you were posting direct Joe Buck quotes. To claim that is the only thing you were doing is rather disingenuous. Of course you were posting those quotes that were sexual innuendo. That was the whole joke behind your running gag. Things went along fine for a while, and it was funny, too, until the game got very tedious. Then, the rest of us started following your lead and posting innuendos, mostly having nothing to do with Joe Buck’s broadcast. At 9:56PM cupie politely asked us all to stop. You acknowledged that request, so you knew he was having a problem. We did not stop the innuendos.

At 9:59 I posted another innuendo, in a sub-thread full of them. These were probably too close to cupie’s initial request in order for us to catch the warning while we were madly spiraling out of control. Whatever. My post was totally accurate and completely factual. I did happen to work for that particular computer company in my past, and I do have the business cards to prove it. And my post was on topic, in direct reply to a prior innuendo post about a certain Yankee pitcher. No matter. It was innuendo and we had been asked to stop innuendo. Cupie replied to my post at 10:11PM with his second warning to all of us. This post was a direct warning.

Then, at 10:19PM, you posted this. This was NOT a Joe Buck quote. This was NOT innuendo. This was clearly at, or over, the line as seen in howiestheman’s response. Cupie responded one minute later advising you to “tone it down”. And, you certainly were aware of this final warning because you copied his post out on the main level of the ongoing thread at 10:23PM. Looking the thread just now, I see nobody else posting any innuendo after 10:23PM. Apparently, almost all of us got the message. We still used a lot of foul language, but we got the point of the warning.

But still, at 10:31PM, you did yet one more Joe Buck innuendo post. You had decided to continue. How many other innuendo posts you would have submitted beyond cupie’s final warning we shall never know. One turned out to be enough.

You did not get back into the thread until after the game, at 10:50PM, wondering what happened and why you got blocked.

From my take on that night, by the time you made your last Joe Buck post, you knew that cupie wanted all innuendos to stop, you knew that you were posting innuendos, you knew that cupie had issued multiple warnings against innuendos, you knew that cupie has asked you multiple times to stop, and you went forward anyway.

Sorry, friend, but the temp block on your posting is understandable to me. Whether I agree with it is not an issue, since this is not my house. But I do believe that I know why.
