Just because some posters have differing opinions and openly state so, doesn't mean the forum isn't supporting one another. That is a gross overstatement. There is a tremendous amount of support posters are providing to other posters. I see it all the time.

Besides, politics/racism/mysogynism/etc... will happen on every social media outlet. BMR is no different (as can be seen in many posts/threads). Discussions/arguments from both sides of an issue are going to happen. It has to be expected.

As far as being different than in prior years, I don't believe that is the case. It was happening since day 1. You might notice it more now because BMR has more posters but it was always around.

I pretty much gave up here except for the random check-in. For nothing more than a cluttered run-through of 80% posts that have nothing to do with sports gambling or gambling in general. If I wanted that much non-gambling content, I'd go to X or Insta or whatever.

I don't mind a good political or random debate and chatter, sure there is room for that, but when it begins to dominate a space that is built for something else, then it becomes too big of a negative to overcome.

I don't think it's anyone's fault it's just how these places flow sometimes.

We had a few guys throw a fit because we were moving political threads to the proper forum (Some of the same members who complain about such threads when others do it mind you lol)

But we’ve started moving them again to the politics forum where they belong

Wager, you've been doing this for a looong time.

You know no matter what you do, move threads/post.... don't move them, it will always generate controversy. There is no winning that argument and its impossible to please everyone.

And although we argue and don't always see eye-to-eye on topics, I still respect the job you do. Its a tough one.

It's 100% a no-win situation for you guys. Moderating here is better than many forums I have been on, and I've been on tons through the years. You guys do a fine job

At times the flow of subjects and chatter just has a run of its own

Thanks for that tank

You’re right it will never be possible to please everyone (in real life either I deal with 2 groups daily for a living)

We can’t allow a Handful or less to dictate how the site operates and change who we used to be as discussed in this very thread

And you are right many of us do debate about certain things and that’s yet another reason the politics should remain in the proper place to keep he rest of the board civil (we will normally leave them for a short period of time before moving)

All I know is I'm this forum's racist and bad guy who doesn't give two fukks about anyone else.

Even though I'm the only person here who made the effort to call to try to find out about Sunny when we all thought she was dead.

And I still got called a racist and evil.

Appreciate your support bro.
lol, buddy you 100% never been to jail as a white man, you pray daily you would ever get mixed up with defending your race to the death………rightfully so.

Guys like you and Arch really disrespectful to other whites. Like, REAL whites. What is known as a PEKKAWOOD!!!!!! I’m the only PEKKAWOOD here and all of you should be grateful for that. Fellas, only dioshits glorify the places and situations I have been in. That said? Arch and Flyers in my pod? Yeah they def not getting messed with. They would actually in that scenario found out about black and white…..

I don’t see you as a racist. I see you calling out the actual racists

But that’s because some of us are up-to-date with what’s going on everywhere right now.

On the other hand there are others who don’t follow things as closely and I can see why they might think you’re being racist, when actually you’re one of millions who are tired of being irresponsibly accused of being a racist, and now slinging it back the other direction

i have been a lurker for a long time after following some others over until making an account recently after all of this time. What I remember a year ago and years going back is that BMR posters supported each other which is what made me start coming back to this forum. Now there are guys who throw sissy fits because they don’t like what someone posts especially about politics and they make the place toxic or run away and hide like little girls. The founding members here need to make BMR strong again and silence the bigots or moderators need to ban them.

What's this all about patsfan? What's going on around BMR these days?

I haven't been around much recently and when I have been around I'm not paying much attention as I have been busy plying other markets.

I noticed you mentioned supporting others and I've always thought BMR is what you make of it. Cant always rely on founders and mods, it is what we put into and make it. So I thought I'd check some recent posts. Nearly all of your recent posts are about sports, maybe not directly supportive, but a generally solid BMR contributor to basic threads.

But amongst all those sports contributions you started this thread...


My question to you, given what you've posted for this thread, why start that other thread this week?

Seems like it was a bit out of character, and would possibly draw out exactly what you are asking in this thread to silence.

So why do it?

Totally missed this one earlier in the week, thanks for bumping it. Curious to know which one BMR would favor.
