To clarify — I am not under any sort of “contract” with Fish, SI, or anyone else. I’m a 100% volunteer that just wants good Mavs / basketball discussion.

But based on recent developments the other place seems to not take too kindly to this board or me so they would probably ban me first chance they got should they ever seize control of this board. I post in other places too so I'll be fine but my personal vote is to not mod the people running the other place. But I will ultimately go along with whatever the community decides
I wasn’t aware we had a hatchet to bury but am glad it’s buried, I guess. I have been willing to be the ‘bad guy’ on the front lines that publicly pushes the ban buttons but I hope people realize that those decisions are almost never independent. I will just say that I am not the owner of any message board and the ultimate decision of who participates and to what capacity is always ultimately dependent on the owner — in the past, the present, and the future.
In the ideal scenario, I think there’s almost never a need to ban anyone and the technology / features of a forum should allow people to police themselves and each other.
