it wasn't a threatI've had people threaten for fuq my mom and my wife but I'm still here. Life member as a matter of fact.
Slev was an angry pump. Don't you dare criticize mullens crootin chops or offensive genius, hell knife you in your sleep and fck your mother... until he says mullens crootin sucks and offense is stupid, then it's cool. But still f your mother bc trump, or 2A, or non vaxxed, or something.
Slevin was a candyassed vagina hat wearing triggered soy boy who would gladly EABO(black)D just to virtue signal to the black gays. He's a retard. F him.
Sorry to hear about your mom and wife. Got any sisters?I've had people threaten for fuq my mom and my wife but I'm still here. Life member as a matter of fact.
It does seem like the exposure of people's different political beliefs or ideologies has caused a lot of friction within groups, but I have a slightly different take on it.Sports should be here so we can GET AWAY from things like politics. A conservative and liberal can sit next to each other at the Swamp and just both be Gators - screaming and slapping high-fives after touchdowns.
2020 forced us to mix politics and sports, and views were shared that exposed the political views of individuals. This started to cause problems, because both sides see the other as destroying the country they love. Slevin isn't the only one who left this board for political reasons.
So families were torn apart, and message boards were torn apart. That's just the way it is these days. It's so bad I felt that the political forum had to be moved to pay-only.
This is a really good post.Interesting stuff here.
This was never meant to be a "right vs left" thread, so let's stop with the political digs.
Slevin was around for years on the GSMB and many years here. Over all those years, I NEVER heard him melt down and freak out or threaten anyone. Honestly, I had no idea what his politics were and frankly didn't care. However, 2020 broke a lot of people. The last thing I ever wanted to do was to drag politics into the sports forum, but that's what happened: social justice issues and COVID politized sports, and we had no choice to but discuss them.

Brad mentioned earlier that Slevin threatened to literally share his personal views with the HR department of the company he works for. This wasn't hyperbole, some people are dead serious about doing this and have done it. The PF had to be hidden for reasons such as this. Right now, speech isn't nearly as free as it's supposed to be.I’ve mentioned this before but it was ridiculous that the political forum became for paid members only; not ridiculous because it was done, but because it became necessary to do it. In retrospect, it probably should have been done sooner.
I would have had a difficult time not escalating the situation had someone followed through on a threat like that back when I actually worked somewhere that had a HR department. On the other hand, that was when I worked for a fed agency whose HR department was such a mess that it would have taken them a decade to try and decide what action to take before they discovered the file and original documents had been shredded.Brad mentioned earlier that Slevin threatened to literally share his personal views with the HR department of the company he works for.
