    Gonzo,

    Please do not attempt to attack any moderator or any member here with those kind of slanderous comments. We will not stand for it.

    Do not take the next step Gonzo. You will not like the results!

    If Terry chooses to come up with that story, you better be ready with a swift apology. If not, you had better learn that people can be mistaken which does not validate your attacks.

    ============================

    Facts are (MiamiHerald.com) that Ryan Moore was involved in a fight with students at the University's hangout called the Rathskeller.

    To state that Moore's suspension was due to a failed drug test is utterly false and baseless...what some people would categorize as a lie


    The Gonz.....moderator or no moderator.....if you claim to hold yourself up to a certain standards then you must lead the way.

    Terry may have been mistaken, I don't know. You, voicing the words that you used is your choice and is a personal attack against another member on these boards.

    1st amendment rights do not allow you to attack others. If you had simply disagreed and asked for proof, there would be no issue... you would not have heard anything from me. When you refer to another member as
    without any possible thought that this person could have been mistaken or received inaccurate information, you are the one in the wrong.

    If you continue, just remember that you were given fair warning.

    I think that I remember it being you, Gonzo, that was chastising Tennessee for two football players being suspended for fighting saying that it was a shame that we had such thugs on the team.

    There is a possibility that someone was mistaken on the actual crime. However, Moore was at least guilty of an offense that you feel is so terrible. It is not like an innocent person was being accused here.

    I saw that on another board, but if it's not true then I apologize. But there is something going on with Ryan Moore for him to be indefinitely suspened.

    I missed the post in question, however I agree with Tom 100%. That kind of response is totally uncalled for.

    Gonzo, the statement above is wrong! First it was not a lie, but something Terry heard, secondly as usual you go above and beyond what is necessary to make your point. And what Tom says still stands.

    If anyone is owed an apology it is Terry from you. Terry is not a person that minds someone disagreeing with him, but as usualy you have to do it in a bombastic style.

    Some day you need to grow up and you need to apologize to "Terry. And as Tom says if you use that kind of disrespect to members of this forum again you may not like the consequences.

    Fore warned is fore armed.

    It was a little over the top on his part, but I see why he would take the comment the way he did.

    Gator Bill.......O'Keefe knows he trampled the "high-dignity-ratio" that is so expounded herein and he has apologized and I accept that.

    Now, as far as your erroneous and misguided threats because I called a lie a lie......and in fact it was admitted and aplogized to by the right person who corrected himself......I have no fear about being banned from a board that expouses high standards only in a double-standard application

    Let me make it easy for you........I am out until and if I want to come back.

    Terry O'...thanks for the apology and the diagram on the pat on the back.....I salute you for your reconsiderations while your colleagues felt they had to step in and defend you.



    Who's defending me? :D

    "Who's defending me?"

    Not me. I wrote about a Miami assistant arrested for selling drugs and you at your most indignant best denied that it had ever happened and called it "********."
    We it turns out that your credibility is worse than my failing memory. The way I look at it, if you claim it's not true.....it probably is.

    Gonzo, it's really sad that you cannot understand some of the basic considerations of dealing with other people!

    No way anyone here thought Terry lied except you, but he apologized for passing on something he read on the internet. That's far from a lie.

    And it proves what a big man he is.
