BENNY ON JERRY

but I’m going with Przybilla.

As for censorship… there is a link near the bottom of the right bar on the main page (“Blazersedge Conversational Rules”). It seems clear enough to me. Some folks may not like it, but people are free to run their websites as they see fit. I personally like a properly “censored” community as it tends to keep those that need “censoring” away.

See http://www.blazersedge.com/story/2007/5/27/35733/4476

There aren’t any rules any more exact than that and I don’t think there could be as it can be both subjective and situational… if not straight up flexible and dynamic. I’m pretty sure only Ben and Dave have mod powers and Dave has referenced sending people “this is why you got suspended/banned” emails in the past, but I doubt they do it for every post they delete.

If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the SBNation Network. Continued use of the SBNation Network following notice of any such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

All the overtly religious overtones of late. It alienates non-Christians and segregates the community, considering Dave’s “of-the-cloth-ness”, so to speak.

I’m comfortable in my relationship with the Blazers, but I have seriously questioned my relationship with BEdge recently with all the talk of Christian rock, interpretations of the Bible and so on. I’m not against it – I even capitalized ‘Christian’ and ‘Bible’ – but this is Blazer’s Edge, not Bible’s Edge. That @&$# needs to go.
