Silence is the best weapon against a poster you don't trust.

There have been some recent fanposts that have drawn the rage and fury of Brew Hoop participants. It seems to me that the silent treatment is the best technique for preventing fraudulant or deceiving posts. Commenting on the post, challenging his sources or arguing against his logic are only feeding his desire for attention. If you read a fanpost and it drives you crazy, just let it atrophy with no comments until it goes away.

Just a suggestion.

What happened?

Marko happened,

he put up an unsubstantiated or flat out false report about the Bucks acquiring Sessions in a sign and trade for Ridnour.

Sorry I haven't been more on top of this

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and I don’t want to ban people simply for going against the grain. But if someone is continuously disruptive I’ll take action. Thanks for your patience, and I agree with Brick’s initial post in this thread.

That's probably for the best

Not good to be too ban happy, IMO

Allright?
Since everyone wants to out me…It’s cool.
But, we all know that Milwaukee is the type of city that makes “knee jerk” impulse moves that they try to rationalize when were already screwed, angry, and stuck buying tickets regardless!
Granted, it did look real. But first and foremost when has this been anything more than a blogger’s site? Nobody, outside of the people that author here, look for our blogs for credibility!
This site has been here for 3 years and I never heard of it until FB sent me an invite!
