Changes to Stampede Blue

Happens to all of us.

This has nothing to do with the previous 2 comments.

Every time BBS had a new article up, I would read it and fix and spelling/grammar errors I saw.

You FAILED

I’m hurt!

not that i every say anything worth reading, but still. Ignoring people is rude! ;)

seriously… glad you joined and decided to start posting.

Wouldn’t they be horrendous to you too?

Disagreements like he had with PK after he got back are great but the “humor” isn’t something I really appreciate and I don’t think that I am the only one that wouldn’t mind that being limited.

idk whatever

It was directed at Cass and was suppose to say “blow me,” but, you know, when you have to explain it, and then apologize for a typo, it really tends to lose it’s impact.

Kinda like Wile E Coyote’s guns having little flags that say “boom” come out insted of actual ammo.

That’s me, a super genius, but also an impotent Internet Wile E Coyote with frozen fingers. Serves me right; should be working anyway.

Anyway, I’m all for a good profanity. In college I had an off-color joke for my roommate to tell his father. “Um, Jeff, does your father mind the F-word?”
“Mind it? He requires it in his jokes!”

25 years later, that guy and I are still close friends.

come in pairs.

I don’t know the numbers but:

Everything you said about cursing is your own opinion. How do you know half the people, if not more, want to curse at CSC. Like PUD said, you just use asterisks if you want to curse. It’s the same thing in essence. Don’t say that this blog isn’t as appealing, if not more appealing, than CSC because there’s no way you’d know that!

The thing is, we don’t want to be like your blog. We want to be like our own blog. If you think CSC is so much more professional and appealing then why are you here? And if you think cursing is so unprofessional and is essentially nothing more than troll bait why was your last fanpost here entitled “Jason Cole is a flaming piece of shit.”? Perhaps if you had lurked here a bit longer you would have noticed how rarely someone actually places a curse word in the title of a fanpost or fanshot. It’s generally considered bad form and probably would have garnered a harsher response from the mods and the community at large if it weren’t for the facts that a) you are new and from another team’s site and b) we just lost the Super Bowl and right now you could probably smack us across the face with a sock full of turds and we’d still be too shocked, numb and depressed to notice.

Feel free to have your own opinions, but it is a bit over the top to think you can join this blog and start suggesting major changes to it in just a couple of weeks. It took me months to get to that point. ;)
I suggest you just enjoy this blog for what it is and enjoy CSC for what it is and not try to make them carbon copies of each other. Variety is the spice of life, my friend!

No degree of professionalism will make SB Nation blogs anything other than blogs. And there are millions of other sites that are the epitome of professional sites, I rather SB Nation blogs stay their biased, unique selves. Dave might be more professional (I met him in an open thread), but the blog is still a blog. And I’ll take the commenters here over almost any other place. I’m a little partial to MHR’s commenters as far as knowledge regarding football, but otherwise there’s no big difference across the board. I know the Stampede Blues ones a little better and appreciate their love for the sport of football, not just a particular team.

You’re absolutely free to offer suggestions. I do not care about making this blog appeal to a bigger audience, I only care about it being a place I enjoy visiting. And I would hate for it to become a community where people are censored for no reason. I don’t care for the KSK thing, but BBS does. It’s his blog, it doesn’t mean I can’t read the other articles.

As I said above, removing swearing won’t make this into an AP article site. It’s still going to talk about the Colts like they’re our children…. and we know we should swear at them, but goddammit Donald, they just make us so angry sometimes.

but I’m sure they’re lining up to make jokes!

Just keep scrolling, and keep your mouth shut.

that’s a good boy.

So full of unintentional double entendre that I don’t even have to point out the obvious with lewd backhanded comments.

that’s never a guarantee.
