Dance around it if you'd like, but you called me out for using it, I responded and called you out, making reference to the 20+ times it was used in the Browns game day thread and got suspended for calling you out in response.  

Just calling out the double standards that's all AL.

As I said before, I admitted I was in the Browns gameday thread, but when you kept insisting I was in the Charger gameday thread, I went back to see what was posted since I was at the game and I knew I wasn't posting during the game.  You were right, I did post, at 8:43 Sunday morning.  It's post #4, and for the record, no one had used the B-word by that point:

Quote:Glad to see there will be no rain today, sitting in that is miserable.

Everyone have a good day and enjoy the game.

Your second point says I called you out for using the B-word.  I didn't recall scolding you or anyone else, but I know we did have a discussion about that.  The first instance of me referring to that occurred in the "Will the real Bengals please stand up" thread.  In your post #69, you told Sunset that you thought using the B-word was punishable in the CoC, to which I replied:

Quote:You can use it as a verb, just not as a proper noun.  

Maybe this is where I made a mistake.  See, there is nothing in the Coc about using it as a verb as opposed to a proper noun.  That was just a little joke on my part.  Maybe I should have inserted a   or something.  Anyway, as I'm now learning, this is where you believe I "scolded" you for use of that word.

Anyway, in your post #72 you then ask if members were "scolded" for 20+posts using the b-word in the Chargers gameday thread.  Now, at this point, I missed your inference to me not scolding people for using it, and further I was not aware that you believe I was scolding you.  To the contrary, I thought we were just having a convo about people using that word in general, so I expounded a bit on why I feel that way I do about the usage of that word:

Quote:Mine is but a mere suggestion and not legally binding.

I won't use that word because it was the parlance of that idiot Stealer announcer Myron Cope, who looked like a weasel and sounded like a shrill Grandpa Munster.  No true Bengal fan would ever use that term, to my way of thinking.  Others clearly disagree.

So, please allow me to clear up a few things. 

1) I will not personally scold you or anyone else for using that word.  If in fact, if you used that word, I was not aware at the time that you did.  I used to care about that many years ago, but people kept using it and I just gave up.  The closest I'll come to admonishing anyone is what I said in my quote directly above.  But, I won't even do that going forward since this will be my last post on the topic.  So, bottom line, you or anyone else can use it all you want but I won't call you or anyone else out personally in a thread.  

2) In my reply "You can use it as a verb, just not as a proper noun," it was certainly not my intent to scold you, as I explained above.  However, since that might not have been entirely clear, I apologize.  

Hopefully my explanation above has cleared up any miscommunication between you and you'll accept my sincere apology for said miscommunication and no further discourse will be necessary.
