I understand its not for everybody but I have an honest question.

Once you read a few post from a certain thread you don't like and you get the idea of where a thread is heading whats so difficult about not clicking on that thread anymore?
I just don't understand.

I have 300 TV channels and I assure you there are at least 20 channels playing shit right now that would piss me off but what does that have to do with anything.
All I have to do is change the channel.
I honestly don't get this.

Ridiculous. I never even read the offshore unless there's an interesting topic. There's like 3 Sterling threads on the front page. If you don't want to discuss racism or other issues, then don't read it. 90%+ of the threads here have no controversy at all yet everyone is drawn to the threads that do. Makes no sense from a business standpoint.

There is an interesting concept that some people might not know.

If there is a thread that does not interest you or if it makes you mad to read it just simply move over to the next thread.
Pretty simple thing to do.
I agree. Somethings will just take their course and eventually fizzle and some will take longer. It's like your tv or radio. Move on and watch or listen to what you want. It really is that simple. I respect that there are guys that are trying to get people to be more respectful but that just isnt realistic in this age of social media.

This is the offshore forum... it's a lighthearted discussion of everything that guys like... What it is not is not is a place for constant fighting, arguing and other general bitching. There are PLENTY of other sports betting forums filled with bitter, angry people. This will not be one of them...

I understand there are some strong difference of opinions but how you present your argument matters... too many of you are just full out attacking someone else ... too many of you don't know how to have a civil argument... it's made offshore unreadable... seriously.. unreadable

We have forums like the political and rubber room where you can bicker like youre two women who haven't had an orgasm in years and scream until youre blue in the face about how fucking smart you are, but IT WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED IN THE OFFSHORE FORUM...

This is a general warning to all...


I understand that there is some controversial subject matters headlining sports but it's been proven that an open, civil discussion cannot take place here. If ANYONE makes an inappropriate, aggressive post in the offshore you will be banned from the offshore forum for a week... I understand this is extreme but this needs to stop. Take your arguments to the appropriate forums...

can we say the N word? C word? <:)<:)

Here's a concept that people might not know. If you want to engage in a flame war, do it in the rubber room.

Pretty simple thing to do.


That would be like asking an actor to act in front of an empty audience. The bigger audience is up here.

Less is more. State your point without the needless attacks.

I wish that there was a lot less of this too.

I don't agree with defying or any mod being the judge, jury and executioner and moving threads around because they have a personal opinion of what is an acceptable thread and what is not. If no posted rules are being broken then people should be left alone (IMO)

You're clever. Do you write your own material?

The problem is I shouldn't have to skip through 19 pages of one poster calling another a racist, or a drawn out argument about who is stupider, or richer...in order to read a thread I want to read.

I agree with Defying it was devolving into a completely unreadable shit show.

If the entire sub forum was cluttered I would agree but it seems to me that this bickering that you speak of has been compartmentalized into just a few particular threads.

I think there is a difference in an entire sub forum taking a certain personality and just a few threads where you probably know what you are getting into before clicking the thread just by the title.



For instance If its 2AM in the morning and HBO is has on the channel guide saying "Exotic Coeds" if you don't want to see any t and a it might be a good idea to move on to the next channel.

There are plenty of "What are you eating for dinner" threads for the people not interested in the other topics.

The funny thing is there are 2/50 threads on the front page that are controversial back and forth arguments that they are talking about. 96% of the threads on page 1 are just regular conversations yet people like HarryCarry say it's becoming unreadable. He was just drawn to the controversy because the other threads have none. It's ridiculous.

Hahaha, there's a bump from 2012 about a painter who died then with 7 responses. I have no clue why they would do this over couple posts that were drawing the most traffic.

Yea I have directv and I'm watching sports on channel 206, but on channel 272 they have 2 guys tongue kissing each other.
I think I'm going to cancel directv.

Hahaha, then you have HarryCarey watching channel 272 and complaining about those watching channel 206. It's pretty crazy. It was actually fun here for a while. The Poly Forum is a cesspool with like 5 people.

you just proved my point in a single sentence.. you could have said it without the expletive... but you didn't.. that's the problem with these "debates", some can't keep their emotions in check...

look at what the EOG and Peeps is right now... you're saying thats better

Im saying therx when SHRINK was here was the best forum of all-time and it always will be.
Shrink understood how forums work.
He was a great business person.
He was a scum and did a lot of people wrong.
Hell he even owed me money.

But he was a smart guy that knew what he was doing when it came to forums.
