Absolute jerk. Posted mostly in the dump thread. Had no regard for the rules (or even for human decency). Stalked and hounded other members.

That was Crush's 200th HR as an Oriole.

That usually just gets you suspended. Believe me, other than spammers and obvious trolls, it takes quite a lot to get banned here. We have a lot of posters who have been suspended multiple times, but we keep letting them back. The whole mod team is very reluctant to ban anyone who seems to be an actual fan.

We once had a seemingly demented woman absolutely stalking a player through the forums. She repeatedly accused him of fathering an illegitimate child (like that ever happens in the NFL) and made progressively more nasty threats. That one finally had to get bumped up to team security. Don't know what happened from there, but she never posted again. We had another stalking incident that got so bad that eventually police were involved. There was a player's estranged father trying to open contact through the forums. And then there's he whose name shall never be mentioned. Shudder. These are the kinds of things that have gone on in the background for years. On a happier note, think of all of the births, graduations, engagements, and marriages we've celebrated over the years.

I'll tell you a little about trolls, though. The P*triots hold the record for the most banned trolls. They're pretty vicious and mostly have very nasty language. They usually hit the blogs, so a lot of you probably never saw their "work". They're definitely the most hated group by the mods. They're pretty relentless. They like to offer a lot of alternative facts, too, in their 3 page posts. In second place we have the 49ers. Their trolls were mostly whiney and gave us mods some good laughs on occasion. They were large in numbers, not so much in creativity. They also have better language. They disappeared after a while. We've banned a few Steeler trolls, but not really very many. They tend to be hit and run anyhow. One non-troll fan got banned but he did something beyond extreme to earn that distinction. Bengals and Browns fans seem to behave pretty decently, as do fans of most teams. Frankly, we get trolled more by our own "fans".

There are plenty of stories, but I'll have to think/ask about sharing them. Some might still be "classified".

This. He did nothing in the last four games. All of his sacks came in the first half of the season.

Back on topic: one of my lasting memories of this place comes from the early years. We were subjected to a truly vile porn attack that went on for days. At one point we had a bunch of mods on full-time deleting the stuff as soon as it posted. That's one of the reasons we now have the 15 post rule. My eyes have never recovered. Pretty sure some of that was photoshopped. Could not have been humanly possible.

You know we won't answer that.

Yep, just use the Report feature instead of hijacking a thread.

Or he's back posting under another new name.

Take the Jernigan talk to the new thread now, please. Gets too weird having the same discussion in two places.

Can be? How about will be?

Game threads. Oh, the game threads.

That bummed feeling is well deserved.

OMG! What an opening day! Thank you Mr. Trumbo.

Yes.

Don't automatically believe anything you read. ESPECIALLY if you read it on RSR.

I'll be here for the duration. In the meanwhile, I think we're going to love Trey. Orioles on MASN (@masnOrioles) 4/2/17, 6:31 PM "I'd dance with the Oriole on top of the dugout to 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy' if it meant being on the team."-@TreyMancini #IBackTheBirds pic.twitter.com/5KJMBx9Ss0

Not funny.

Ravens actually admitted it isn't true: http://bit.ly/2nuq4nm

NOT true. http://bit.ly/2nuq4nm

Very suspicious of this, especially since they mention the trip takes 7 days and they'll arrive just in time for kickoff. Also mentions having Reynolds help navigate. I wouldn't believe anything this "odd" today.

People were still citing that months later.

And we have our first victim.
