To be clear, blowcheese deleted his account after getting ribbed by me for his post on the rotating tap. I thought he could take it because he tends to dish it out fairly regularly. Seems to me like a drama queen move on his part. Maybe he's just fed up with me or maybe he was just having a bad day... He's welcome to come back. It wasn't my intent to run him off. Drama queen or not, completely in the dark on the why. But, also thought I saw a post by him under "blowcheese" after this thread was started?! But, from his recent postings it makes no sense he'd leave after being ribbed? I mean that's all he did the last few weeks. I'll just say that his posts the last month(?) or so were off kilter compared to his past. I'd venture to say almost 95% of his recent posts were silly quips, comments, tending to be very argumentative that lent zero information to the topic. Most had zero info, just making fun of a post. That was not his typical MO. He usually provided input and thoughts about the programs and players. To be honest I just blocked him about 2 weeks(?) ago. I was thinking his account had been hacked and he couldn't get logged back in?! He squared off with you here recently (forget the topic), which surprised me, as I thought he was typically more aligned with you than not. Also had always thought he was more thick skinned than how he came across in that exchange. |

Just smart arse quips, many having no connection or make much sense. But... I guess I'm/we're really not here to figure the why to what people post?! |

HA!!! I'm also in the DM from Blocheese club. Wonder how many members there are and if we get commemorative pins? Ah man, I never got a DM from him. Only DM I ever got being chastised for using the R-word. I mean, to be fair, it is an offensive word. go into the ARC thrift store and ask them what "ARC" stands for!!! LOL |

I mean, to be fair, it is an offensive word. go into the ARC thrift store and ask them what "ARC" stands for!!! LOL Association for Retarded Citizens, was the acronym. It is a pretty fascinating history, and of course interesting how our language and culture changes with time. They officially changed their name from ARC to "The Arc" in 1992. Even further back, they were NARC, National Association for Retarded Children. They dropped the N in 1981... somethingsomething The War on Drugs. Their statement on the matter is: "Words matter. Over time, as the words ‘retardation’ and ‘retarded’ became pejorative, derogatory, and demeaning in usage, the organization evolved its terminology to reflect the desires of people with disabilities, and changed its name to ‘The Arc’. While the term still appears occasionally, it has largely been replaced and usage of ‘intellectual disability’ and ‘developmental disability’ continues to spread. We are doing everything in our power to make sure they’re adopted more broadly and strongly believe the only ‘r-word’ that should be used when referring to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is respect." While I have a filthy mouth and frequently use naught words, I try to follow a rule, that rule is to not offend other people when I am engaging in offending a specific person. calling a person the "R-word" generally does that. What can I say, I am a man of principles. I rightfully should of been called out. |

Quitting is for freakin quitters, cheez....Geez. I never figured you for one. Not the first time for leaving a message board abruptly and never to return. Jon Blowcheese disappeared from Pure Orange on the eve of the Sun Bowl after getting into argument. Only to return years later here on this board with a slightly different screen name but same on line persona. |

Just reinstate him and welcome him back. Are there times when he can be an a-hole? Yes, but he is our a-hole and a true Beaver believer.

What can I say, I am a man of principles. I rightfully should of been called out. If I had seen it, I would have sent you a message. There is a discussion within the crip community regarding the term to use. Most of them were not developed by the crip community: they were developed by social workers, academicians, and special education teachers to enable them to speak about us in a manner that comforted them. The terms are: physically challenged, differently able, the H-word, the R-word, and special needs. So the terms used most widely is individuals or persons with disabilities [because it focuses on the individual by using it as a characteristic much like, brown eyes, blond hair, etc.] and disabled [it has many fewer negative connotations] though, crip and crips is becoming much more acceptable [because it makes people uncomfortable and create a teaching moment. I applaud you for your introspection. |
