Ya, I didn't like how disrespectful landon is towards cops.... he really should give them more respect, officers out there putting their lives on the line to keep us safe. Other than cop bashing, kyushin is a good guy.

i do believe rosario should be given the opportunity to rejoin the forums after a period of time and perhaps a apology if needed to those offended by his comments. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance..

You can throw me in the: Only pay to be a member for the status updates" bucket as well.

The status updates are by far the most social part of this website. EDIT: Looks like I got in trouble too.

Now scared to state an opinion.

I saw the posts, and I will agree they were a bit off color. However, those comments were not made at anyone in particular and they were in a joking manor. Its disappointing the world has become so soft skinned that a joke about a professional athlete's idiotic display offends people. I'm sure you've all heard the "sticks and stones" phrase; does anybody even try to abide by that anymore? Heck, even that phrase is coined for direct verbal insults. As I said before, I'm not offended by much, but if I am I know where the arrow is at the top of the page. Live and let live, he wasn't actually hurting anyone. He made some trashy jokes, but who hasn't laughed at or made trashy jokes once or twice in their lifetime? Anyone here who says they haven't is lying. I'll say it again, we should put this to a majority vote; let the community decide. We do choose to be a part of this community, so shouldn't be our decision who is a part of it? If someone breaks the rules after being warned, then they should be suspended and the majority should be able to vote on their return. If they break the rules again, then perhaps permanent banning is appropriate. I'm not against the mods of the site, I think you all do a great job keeping this place running; just wanted to voice my opinion on the matter. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone.

This is the problem then. The world is a cruel place full of poor taste. Dont hate the player, hate the game. For the people that can't read a comment that some anonymous rando says on a public internet forum without feeling the need to go tattle, I dont see how you make it in this world, and its sad that were catering to these people. You have just enabled them and are now a part of the problem. It may drive that person away, but who would I rather have on the forum? This unidentified butt hurt tattle tail or someone who constantly brings joy (and revenue) to this site on a daily basis? Because I pick the latter.

Let this person forget about the comments stated, let your point be made about the rules and let the man back on the forum.

If you were new to the status updates when you happened upon Rosie's post that fateful day one might say "Who f@#k is this moron? Get him outta here!"

Rosie is that guy at work or at a party who can say any remark whether it be racist, feminist, gay bashing, or just butt f@#king bullshit. If you or I said half the shit he says we would get a shive in the ribs or kicked in the nuts. Rosie can say it because when you know him it turns out, as gay as this sounds, his heart if full of love for all his brothers and sisters in this world. He means no one harm. He only says what he says to free your spirit so that you can laugh at yourself and in doing so become a better person.

Miss you and hope you return soon.

You will always be with us.
