Why did he get banned?
September 28th, 2020 at 11:06 PM ^
He's probably making shit up, you know click bait.

September 28th, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
im not lying. check the mod action sticky thread
September 28th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
Note to self: do NOT make fun of LeBron.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:11 PM ^
And make sure not to call someone a clown! Wow - sensitive blog!
September 29th, 2020 at 12:02 AM ^
He called me a clown...I thought it was funny. Did he really get banned, like Bolivia banned?...or just a timeout?
September 29th, 2020 at 9:57 AM ^
A clown? Wow, harsh.
September 29th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
to paraphrase the 90s new wave/electronic music band Anything Box, I'm so afraid of living in Bolivian.
September 29th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Definitely Bolivia banned based on the follow-up Ace vs WD twitter war today.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:36 AM ^
Ace is Timmmay?
September 29th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Hey now. I make no secret about not liking the kid, but I wouldn't have banned him. He's annoying as all get-out to me, but I honestly feel bad for him for a lot of reasons. Just wish he would take that first step towards actually growing up a bit.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
WD getting banned deserves a front page story. WD brings a ton to this blog. This is the first I have heard of it. Otherwise, this thread is pretty hilarious.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:09 PM ^
He was insufferable
September 28th, 2020 at 11:22 PM ^
He was weird, but viewing someone as harmless as that as "insufferable" probably means you invest a bit too much into this blog.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:24 PM ^
Hi WD
Welcome back
September 29th, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
You're far more insufferable than WD ever was. lol
September 29th, 2020 at 12:08 AM ^
“Probably invests a bit too much into this blog”
The irony.
September 29th, 2020 at 6:55 AM ^
I wouldn't consider time on this blog an "investment".
September 29th, 2020 at 7:49 AM ^
Look at my points, bitch.
We're talking Amazon-stock-options-in-1996 level ROI here.
At least that's what I tell my wife.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:34 AM ^
M-dog made me do it. It was a double M-dog dare.
That's what I tell my wife.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:02 PM ^
There is some irony in saying someone invests too much time on this blog in regards to a comment about WD.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
I think it says a lot about WD in a nutshell that the post calling him "insufferable" and the one calling him "harmless" are both very well upvoted.
September 29th, 2020 at 11:53 AM ^
The users that constantly antagonized him were worse.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
Yeah wow - only thread I saw him on today was the photo of the new mural at Crisler...
I'm sure the mods took seriously and probably fed up with small things that built up over time.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:36 PM ^
Shocking, it was Ace that banned him.
WD - I thank you for highlighting non-revenue sports and your contributions to the blog. Not sure why so many on here feel the need to talk negatively of you, a devoted fan.
September 29th, 2020 at 7:17 AM ^
"This was a collective decision based on repeated personal attacks and other violations."
Let's not pretend the dude hasn't had issues off and on for years on this board. Apparel and non-rev sports updates are not crucial to this board - although everyone appreciates the non-rev updates, we can get those from Mgoblue. If you're on this board regularly and don't get weekly emails from Mden, then I'm sure you'll find a way to know when the newest fugly and overpriced shit from Nike comes out.
September 29th, 2020 at 7:21 AM ^
the kid is/was a fixture and would seem to have warranted at least a 'shot across the bow' before a ban. and whatever his blow-ups might have been (i haven't kept track) they are miniscule given the unhinged name calling that has gone on here the last 6+ months, most of which didn't draw the slightest rebuke from anyone.
September 29th, 2020 at 7:26 AM ^
unhinged name calling that has gone on here the last 6+ months, most of which didn't draw the slightest rebuke from anyone.
his crazy crap has been an issue for years. There's a pattern that isn't as obvious as his board posts. He's gone sideways on me specifically and many others. Fixture is a stretch too - reposting summaries from MgoBlue and Mden, although appreciated by some, are not exactly fresh new material.
September 29th, 2020 at 7:33 AM ^
but how many of us, myself included, are posting 'fresh new material'? seems like the kid got under your skin with little stuff.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:16 AM ^
Agreed. I'm not agreeing with the ban. We all have faults and quirks.
September 29th, 2020 at 12:40 PM ^
Not trying to single you out, XM, but I'm pretty certain WD is in his mid-20s now, so while he's by no means on the back nine of life I'd say he's probably outgrown the "kid" moniker.
September 29th, 2020 at 12:52 PM ^
no worries MH, it's just that i'm old - see childhood picture here riding my pet dinosaur during the mezozoic (or some other fancy sounding name) era. and for WD's detractors, they would tell you that he has young emotional age so i'm pretty sure they're good with the 'kid' designation.
September 29th, 2020 at 5:06 PM ^
From both his age and (apparent) maturity level, he is a "kid" from my perspective... and this is in an appreciative manner instead of disrespectful. Kind of like a kid brother or younger cousin who is obsessed with something you also like (i.e. UM sports in this case).
September 29th, 2020 at 8:25 AM ^
Username checks out.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:27 AM ^
Amazing, isn't it?
September 29th, 2020 at 9:51 AM ^
I shot back at him after he called me a “F*cking dumbass.” Or something very close to that. Rob hit me with the ban hammer rather quickly.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:27 AM ^
The “woke police” are strong these days. Ace just shared on Twitter that WD’s homophobia was the driver of the ban. I check this site daily and can’t say I ever got those vibes from WD.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:30 AM ^
@NYC. Neither did I
September 29th, 2020 at 10:45 AM ^
Neither did I. He’s just young. I’ve never felt that he went overboard especially after having Maizen on this board for years. What actually could he have done to be truly banned?
September 29th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
I think he's like 25 now so while that's probably younger than the average mgoblog resident, it definitely isn't "kid" territory anymore. Young enough to still have areas to grow in but old enough to know better.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
He's not young, and there comes a time where you cant use young as a defense for outbursts like his. Look at twitter. Time away is probably a good idea.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:50 AM ^
WolvDev got better (smarter?) at keeping it off mgoblog, but during the Hoke era he would regularly bring politics onto the board. Crap like how being gay is unnatural and how "western" women are useless, prudes, and ugly compared to Eastern-European women.
September 29th, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
i don't do the tweets, but nyc3 says that ace booted him for being afraid of gay people. that must be some kind of fear that he expressed.
September 29th, 2020 at 9:06 AM ^
As Chapelle says, there is one set of people no one is allowed to upset.
September 29th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
Ironically, that would make him afraid of me. That's disappointing to hear after passing the YouTube highlight baton on to him years back.
I guess this is the kind of stuff you miss by not being on twitter.
September 29th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
I wouldn't say you are missing it.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
I would guess he knew you are gay. You've alluded to it at least twice here. The fact that you 2 still had a cordial relationship should tell you all you need to know about his supposed "homophobia". Let's not take one thing said on twitter (and definitely take into account the source) and just run with it.
September 29th, 2020 at 1:21 PM ^
2020 just wow!!!
September 29th, 2020 at 1:36 PM ^
Ibpeley, oh please. Not all racists and homophobes spew their hatred all day long. And, as we all know, racists always have that one black friend. Being cordial to someone online doesn't mean you don't live the rest of your life in a way that supports the removal of, or denial of, their basic human rights.
September 29th, 2020 at 5:55 PM ^
oh, i don't know. it's entirely possible that he hates gays in general but doesn't have a problem with the gays he actually knows. i have no idea if WD is or is not a homophobe - i'm not qualified to judge, in any way - but it's entirely possible, whether or not he gets along with WH.
and i'll say this - i don't think it matters if he is or isn't. say abusive, offensive things, get tossed. them's the rules.
