Looks like he went off the deep end a little too deep recently.

No surprise.
Maybe unsticky the stickies at the top of the page.
Gone with the wind.
This is very unfortunate. When I first got here, he was a friendly voice around here who started so many great threads. I often looked forward to logging on evenings after work to see what the next DD great thread would be. He really kept this place hopping especially during football season. It's too bad, while I agree with most here that DD went overboard lately, I'm still going to miss his presence here. Happy trails DD.
RIP
He did get to 23,000 comments before they dropped the ban hammer.
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
I hope he gets the mental health treatment he needs.

I stated my feelings about him in the Olympic thread, I was his biggest fan for a long time but his act and unstable personality grew old and just turned me off
If the kid is legit in need of help and it's not just attention getting childish behavior then I wish him well and hope he gets whatever he needs to get better.
I agree with ya.
it was like watching the forum version of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Perfect description Steve.
Some of us contributed to DD's fund raising effort for the deceased forum member's family funeral expenses, who according to DD was his boxing topic buddy, as well as a great member here.
Perhaps for whatever reason, DD expected a lot more contributions? In any event he never seemed quite the same after all that, and then as we know eventually went off the deep end.
I dont think I remember reading any of his posts so have no comment ! I have seen him on here though but he was not talking about anything I was interested in.
Social media can be a trap. Friendly at first and then it turns.
Don't know much about Dragon, but he seemed to put a lot of effort into this forum. Wish him the best.
I bumped heads with DD when he first appeared, tried to encourage him to slow down a little. His response was that the place was dead and his mission as he saw it was to keep it afloat.
It strikes me as odd now that many of the same members who anointed him as ruler of the sports forum are now excoriating him for his views. This is indeed a tough place to fit in, but it's easy enough with some restraint and common sense. That last tirade was apparently the proverbial last straw.
I wish him well.

he went from being the most jocular member on collectors universe to detonating on a regular basis
i wish he had found a happy medium
clearly there are trials and tribulations transpiring in his personal life and i hope he conquers them
Since you brought it up and I'm one of the guys your referring too without straight up saying my name I will address this
First off yes I do excoriate him for his views simply because of his ultra aggressive post and verbally attacking everyone here, that in itself is reason enough
It's a 2 way street of accepting and respecting other views but apparently its not that way with DD, which ofcourse is typical for that side of the fence btw so yes I'm done with him and anyone else that refuses to maintain a civil and reasonable way of expressing his or her views
I spent many a moments in private messages to DD talking him out of quitting and to calm down until it got to be a crybaby take my ball and go home theme all too often
It grew tiresome and it got flat out bizarre, again I hope the kid gets help if he needs it but other than that I don't care to engage him ever again
Agreed
This thread serves no relevant purpose to the topic 'sports talk' and should be locked.
I do not have time for ignorant trolls.

I am the one who initiated this thread. Many of us over the years have enjoyed DD's posts when he appeared congenial, lucid and very entertaining. It appears that somewhere along the line something happened, of which we will never know. Others, including me, have reached out to him in several private messages to try and reason with him, obviously to no avail.
The majority of posts in this thread were to wish him well. However, now that the thread seems to have irritated you, and you've apparently become the resident Hall Monitor, why don't you reach out to the Moderator and vent your displeasure and utter annoyance about all our postings here and how they have so affected you.
While you're composing your pragmatic PM to the Moderator, and demand the thread be closed, perhaps you should give a bit of thought to this and other posts before you hit the enter key. There have been a ton of non sports talk postings over the 20 years I've been around, they were all intended as fun and enjoyed by all. Too bad your self-serving attitude makes you think you'll now be not only Hall Monitor, but make an utter failed attempt at being the rain maker.
Get a life.
It doesn't irritate me.
It has nothing to do with sports and is nothing more than rumor mongering and water cooler nonsense.
Get a life? I would suggest those commenting in this thread are the ones who need to touch grass.

LOL says the guy who's account was created back in 2007 and decides to storm back on the scene out of nowhere in 2024?
Of course this is after numerous people have been banned, I mean please your not fooling anybody.
You have been nothing but a troublemaking troll intent on instigating people with your surly and snide remarks, your the one who is apparently bored with touching grass and needs some excitement via stirring trouble on a Sport Talk message board, lol it's humorously pathetic.
Feel free to add me to your block list, soon enough you will have everyone blocked and you can party all by yourself , 😂😂😂
Dragon's final post in the Test forum seemed ominous.
Folks do walk for many reasons and extended breaks are refreshing.
I couldn't stand him from day 1, blocked him and do not miss him. He thought he was our "savior", but he was just a childish know it all.
Hopefully, he will someday mature into an adult.
Pasted:
"concern troll" meaning
a person who disingenuously expresses concern about an issue with the intention of undermining or derailing genuine discussion.
If we ever see a newbie on here named "tripledragon", I think I may know who that might be. 😉
@perkdog, my main point was to highlight how far and fast his fall seemed to be, akin to going over a cliff. He seemed to me to jump/fall off and hit nothing on the way down. Strange.

I think he went off a cliff several times and was always welcomed back until it got to be just one too many times
Maybe it was because his Carolina Panthers are so absolutely pathetic. He just couldn't take it any longer. Being an NFL fan can do that to you.
I know, I'm a big Eagles fan and some seasons they drove me crazy. One season I almost gave up drinking and wild women. Almost. 😉
Goodbye DD, it was quite a run.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
His boxing thread was a fun read and I respect the effort and time he put into that.
This thread is quite the monument to his impact here. What will the story be in 3000 years. Will there be a book? A movie?
I guess I missed all the fun by not reading his posts.
Mistlin - you know you don't actually have to read threads that don't interest you right?
Robb
he's just a troll. dont worry, i am sure he will get bored and move along soon enough.

I'm thinking Axtel or Joe Stalin burner account from back in the day.
Definitely not Joe Stalin around here now. He had his own unique style which i would recognize immediately. Besides when he got banned, he soon came back under a new name and didn't really hide the fact who he was. I'm not sure if that new name was banned or not, but when he came back he never was nearly as prolific as he was before. Maybe it was 3 or 4 years ago, he came back for one quick post in my Eagles thread for the season. after his Bucs won a game.
You may be right though about Axtel. The funniest thing I recall about Axtel is he once posted a pic of a car he bought, a purple Mini-Cooper. I called it the ugliest looking car I've ever seen, and he hated that. He was so proud of that car. 😂
Respect
Your right actually I'm going with Axtel for sure.
And yes I remember the Mini Cooper I think it was Stown that found him on Facebook somehow and grabbed the picture I don't think he posted a pic of his car
He lost me in the horse racing thread. Definitely had an Identity crisis and it seems Timmy took over in the end.

This category is Sports Talk, lets stay on topic.
