Obviously no matter when I mod or what I mod, I piss someone off.  It is what it is, I suppose.

Like I've posted several times in the past, I work full time, 8+ hours/day.  And like I told "Boliver46" when he made a snarky remark a couple days ago, I actually work when on the clock, meaning that at most I have a few minutes during my workday while on lunch or coffeebreak to monitor the MGOBOARD. 

Modding is a voluntary unpaid position.  Last night I had to pee ? and woke up around 3 am, made the mistake of looking at my phone, and spent close to an hour locking an anti-trump political thread and then banning the OP and 8 others who were slinging shit at each other.

I have full respect for you as an MGoUser, "Ibpeley"--- I believe (unless I'm mistaking you for someone else), that we've conversed about ice fishing on a couple occasions a few years ago, so I'm pretty sure you're an OK dude. 

Why then the venom towards me as a mod?  Especially when I am trying my best to keep the peace here AND doing it without combat pay? Maybe your venom wasn't directed specifically at me, but sure felt that way

I try to be as nonpartisan as possible; for instance, if you look at the mod sticky thread from 2 nights ago, you'll see I banned a user calling himself "goblue4biden2020". And I've banned numerous other "leftists" since I started modding.

Frankly, I'm getting tired of being constantly falsely accused of banning only those in the "right wing" lane.

Peace ☮️ out, brother! ✌️

Obama have one to Ellen.  I think it might be time to admit that the award means nothing and not worry about it.

Sorry to say, but it's probably time to either lock or remove this thread.  Unfortunately,  this might also mean Bolivia to a poster or two.

Great, another "important" post. It doesn't matter if the OP states "this isn't political". There is no way that a person is so obtuse as to think that this would not devolve into a political commentary, complete with requisite virtue signaling.  Come to MGOBLOG, your UM sports blog, for all of your political and epidemiological information!

Warning - pandemic discussion will also quickly devolve into political discourse and general name calling session.
