I had moved the original "Tebow" thread to "The Bullpen" forum (the place designated for exceptionally off-topic, heated, and/or controversial threads) at the request of multiple community members who wrote in to complain about it.

Sorry that I didn't realize that access to The Bullpen was made restricted at some point. I've restored public access to it.

I've moved the second Tebow thread to The Bullpen also. Even though that one seemed to be more civil than the first, 1) it's on the same topic, 2) it has the potential to get ugly again, and 3) I'm still getting complaints.

You're free to carry on your conversation there if you want. The intent of moving the first thread wasn't censorship; it was an attempt to direct the discussion to the appropriate place.

Seriously guys, play nice, and let's do our best to elevate the mood and level of civility around here. I'm up to my eyeballs with this gargantuan site rebuild I'm working on, and I don't have the time or the patience to deal with the torrent of complaints about the stuff you guys are yelling at each other. If you think that [i:1d3b010ced]you[/i:1d3b010ced] were the only rational one, congratulations, I'm sure you were, but I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone. This is a general comment.

Thanks.

Why would people complain? Why wouldn't they just, you know, not click on it?

Good riddance.

i complain that it was moved
does that count?

The movement of that thread gave you a persistent cough? :D

no silly...now i know how they feel when i direct them to a cold, dank, nasty place outside the home to smoke.
I don't care, but just sayin.

Since Tebow completed less than 50% of his passes, I am not expecting much from his Strat-O-Matic card. Your best hope if Tebow is your QB in a Strat football game is that he gets those "Must Runs" as often as possible.

I'm praying this thread goes away too.

Who is Tim Tebow?
