Death to the Storm Shelter?

What a wild run! It appears to have dried up completely at this point. A full solid week of nothing. If so, may it rest in peace.

Don’t worry guys, I will do my part and keep updating the elite80 hall of fame gem quotes and the progressive absurdity thread.

Everyone seems to enjoy those, I’ve received a ton of cpoliments.

When the new board started, I suggested to Dallas that he lose the Storm Shelter and Storm Front.

Neither has any business being on a football/sports board. Sections like this just attract psychos and no one’s mind is ever changed so what’s the point?

If one wants to bicker about politics, there are plenty of places to do that, X/twitter for one.

Good riddance.

I’m not mad to see it go. Getting Storm outta here was the key. Just way too inflammatory to stick around.

Back in the day the Shelter had interesting in-depth conversation here and there. I liked debating with bill for sure, because we all have our biases, and his were strong, but he was overall pretty principled and intelligent and well read. I learned stuff talking to him.

These days we were left with GSC. I like the guy but he was uninformed and generally the opposite of canebill. Once he tucked tail there’s nothing left to argue about!

And I don’t blame anyone really. The Shelter only ever had value as a distraction, but if you were coming here daily for conflict dependence, you’re really much better off watching it die.

RIP.

It wasn’t a bad idea. Some healthy debates and discussion took place and it was entertaining at times. I stopped posting after I realized how much time I was wasting in the back and forth arguments that never went anywhere productive.

I have enjoyed the Storm Shelter these many years. There have been a host of very good discussions among some rather learned persons. Getting rid of it would depart from tradition, and for certain during various times of year, there is a paucity of items to discuss pertaining to UM football. I regret that some have gotten their feelings hurt and lose sight of the fact that this is a message board.

Curiously, Warden and I happen to be friends though we disagree on a host of matters. My usual reaction to his barbs is a smile, and I enjoy matching wits. I regret that GSC has gone missing; I suppose the heat of the kitchen caused him to flee. I wish he’d reconsider his decision to depart.

The late message board great Canebill and I often talked about posts which we shouldn’t have submitted, but sometimes, I wouldn’t say often, we were wrong, and subsequently we were enlightened by the arguments put forth by others. This I think belies the adage that old dogs cannot learn new tricks.

While I liked Stormfront after meeting him in person, I do think he was rather truculent in his assertions and injudiciously flooded the boards with posts that were exceedingly redundant. Against popular demands, I still wouldn’t have banned him.

305, you’re the man in charge, but my vote is for retaining the Storm Shelter.

I offered to bail and have my account deleted to give GSC a lifeline of sorts, if he felt so scared that he told me his name in a post from his own Instagram account with his handle being his first and last name and I now knew who he was, that he had to flee. But, it appears to have been a useless gesture. I wasn’t even sure I was right until Skeeter offered such a heartfelt post about him having to protect his family…from, from, from…someone knowing his name on a message board. Such is life, I suppose. Your call 305

I can say I did relay the message that you only knew his name because of the insta or whatever it was you said he posted…He said the reason you can’t find it is because it’s BS.

I don’t know, but if I had to guess it’s GSC that is telling the truth and you that are full of shyt…Just by judging your character vs. his. You’ve been nothing but a troll and come off as a desperate wack job maniac since day one. All politics aside. But who knows.

GSC is a good dude, hopefully he is doing well.

I offered to bail and have my account deleted to give GSC a lifeline of sorts,

Cool. Bye

Well, my proof is that I know his name. You confirmed it as did his absence. I didn’t guess it. New Jersey has 9.5 million people in it (which is surprising - the DFW area has that many people alone). All we know about him is he lives in NJ and is in sales. So, he posted an Instagram video on 08/17 (Is fascism a response to communism?) and then me learning his name on 08/18 wasn’t magic. It wasn’t a glitch in the matrix. I’m not omnipresent. How did me clicking that lead to his page, where he literally (and you can go check it now) has his first and last name as his handle, and it’s not now? No idea. I don’t have Instagram so i don’t know its workings too well. But, again…I’m not magic.

But, yes…I do know who he is. With it, I called him Paulie and told him he looked like 2 different people. Remarkably nefarious stuff.

And for the record, GSC isn’t a good dude. Neither are you.

Look at how GSC conducts himself on this message board…And then look how you do?

You’re a troll, you’re an overly emotional twat, and you’re an extremist. Why would anyone believe you? Just going by what we’ve seen from you since day one on this message board.

But I’ve already given you the benefit of the doubt and left the door open that GSC could be mistaken about the instagram thing. I simply dm’d him to let him know your side of the story. But if it comes down to I think is more apt to tell the truth, and who isn’t a desperate, politically charged maniac…Well that’s an easy choice, it’s GSC.

GSC has consistently lied, never owned up to being wrong, and endorses the most heinous of political acts. But, you smear shit on the walls, so I’m not surprised you’re more enamored with that type than mine. I showed a clear example of his lying in a recent post. GSC has never shown he has any morals for even a single day on this board.

You’re a troll, you’re an overly emotional twat, and you’re an extremist.

It’s like you’re talking to a mirror. :rofl:

To be candid, I don’t give a shit on your opinion on the subject. I don’t give a shit about GSC’s either. Again, I’m not magic. Yet, I know his name. Work that shit out.

I offered 305 to delete my account for the sake of GSC coming back if he was too scared to be in the same message board, because he’s been here way before me and I don’t think the two sides have anything more to talk about. We’ve spent years proving that. That being said, there aren’t two sides to the story. There is no story. There are not even allegations of a story. Did I threaten him? Did I infer a threat? Did I post pictures of his house or his job? Did I literally do anything other than compare him to a Kevin Smith movie character and add an ā€˜ieā€ to his first name? I’ve known Bikki’s name for a year and all I’ve done with that is 500 years of his genealogy and have some great conversations with him. I did offer him my name because I actually went looking for that one because I was curious how the handle came about or what it meant. I ended up finding out who he was and since that was me searching I thought it only right I offered him mine, to which he didn’t feel the need to accept.

I’ll do GSC’s genealogy too if he wants. It’s a fun hobby, even doing it for a dickhead like him. Again, I’m the only one in that two person relationship who’s ever reached out and actually acted like an empathetic human being to which he ignored and then lied about as if I didn’t have a screenshot, a true show of his lack of character. If you slip up and throw your name out there, I’ll make fun of you too and then ask if you want your genealogy done. But, that’s about it. I’m not looking to interfere with anyone’s real life. I’m sure we all have enough problems without someone from a message board bothering them. I will give GSC my word (and go back and check, I’ve never lied on here and to my recollection, always owned up to being wrong) I’ll never bother him in life. I have no interest in knowing anything more about the guy. He plays no role in my life and I play no role in his.

But, the account’s not deleted yet. So, go fuck yourself.

Ya ya ya, I’m rubber your glue…I know you are but what am I…Mister write-you-a-novel now doesn’t have anything

GSC has consistently lied, never owned up to being wrong, and endorses the most heinous of political acts.

Sounds like you are talking to a mirror (insert feminine funny emoji)… See I can play too.

I’m not reading the rest of this emotional rant 8657446 billion from you…I’ve already said that he indeed could be wrong and that you could have had access to his name from that IG post.

But if we are going to believe someone here based solely on their character and behavior on this board…That ain’t you slick.

Ironically, for all the shit talking, you and I are the smallest fellas on here. You don’t train to fight at all and have a shit back so you’re literally the weakest link in the chain. Elite 80 would smash you. I’ve seen his picture; he’s about 6’3ā€ I think. GSC is a meatfist about the size of Abraham Benrubi and Bikki is a literal grizzly bear. 20 years ago, it would take all of us to bring that gorilla down.

Lol…This dude, basically a spoiled brat who never been in no type of shit in his life (pretty safe assumption since he likes to do the same to everyone on his board)…Decides to go get a little midlife jujitsu ā€œtrainingā€ and now he’s tough.

No one’s worried about you or your ā€œtrainingā€ you emotional little twat. And nole80 is softer than babysit.

Yes I think cane bill used to tell us Bikki is a beast lol

I am not 6’3 but I do weigh around 230 pounds. I have had guys talk shit to me and than been on the worse side of a beating. I have actually been in fights. Won some - lost some but I am not really afraid of anyone. I think if I met skeeter we would get along. Skeeter actually reminds me of my good friend Timmi. Like Timmi, Skeeter talks shit but I do think he is actually a good dude who would have your back if something went down. Same with Bikki. I never trusted GSC because anyone who is super religious and supports scumbags like he does - then they are hypocrites. I have had many GSC in my life and they say God Bless and then screw you over. I don’t understand why he would be upset by someone knowing his name. Everyone has access to my information.

Is this the doctor that knew and treated every third person that died of covid on the east coast?

Don’t mind warden, 80…He was just swinging from your nuts

For the record nobody is actually ā€œkillingā€ the Shelter. It’ll still be here and everyone can talk shit as usual.

The one change I did make is to not list the Shelter on the LATEST list of posts. I figured it was scaring off the football fans. This will lower visibility of off-topic posts, but I think it’s a good tradeoff.

The way I see it, nobody should come to this site for the first time and have Shelter posts thrown in their face. This is a Canes board. Come here and talk Canes football. And then if you have time to kill and find talking to peeps here interesting and look around a little, you can post about even more.
