Not to be picky here, but wouldn't your father's brother be your uncle, and a cousin of your uncle would also be a distant cousin?

Update: it appears that language is no longer in your post.

You're right: No track record, and less than ZERO after this. This quasi-insider bullshit works great on Scout--everyone there will teabag you and make you feel important (which you obviously lack)--so go back there with this shit. Please.

Come on. Statements from unverified, uncollaborated, unofficial sources should be taken as UNFORGIVEN!!!! DeathSquad is out there, but you don't need to perpetuate it with unsubstantiated claims.

Yeah I know right. I was hoping to have enough points to get an invitation to the end of the year party but I get neg'd so much I don't think I'll even have enough to cash out at the mgoblog prize store. Honestly who really cares brah? Just hang out and say what you wanna say. If you get neg'd, move on and learn from it. Regardless of pts., we're all winners.

I'm thinking of cashing in my tickets for the sawdust-stuffed Ninja Turtle knock-off or the build-your-own wooden airplane.

All this time, I had my eyes on the Simon Says or the sweet, sweet radio-controlled Lamborghini Countach.

Sadly, no. This downturn in the MGoBlog economy sucks.

WLA. They are responsible for all things bad. I think they hangs out at their snotty little web site and make fun of people who are mentally challenged. I have heard them use the term 'mgoidiots' before. They say Brain Cook loves ass. Now, what the heck is that supposed to mean? And that $am guy, he's going to business school at Ohio State! Yeah. Right. Obviously, the WLA is NOT made up of true Michigan Men. They completely lack any semblance of grit and score very low on the intangibles standard. They should all get the banhammer. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

You dig?

And you know what else bugs me? When people don't turn right on red. Come on people, it's the law and you can do it! Get off your cell phone, turn down that Taylor Swift crap, and turn your damn car! I've got places to be today! LOUD NOISES! LOUD NOISES!

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks
She's gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune

And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on

That should definitely go on the piped in music playlist! I can see it now. Right during the chorus everybody puts their hands up and we release 1000 butterflies from the endzone right as we come out of a commercial time out! That is TV gold right there!

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga Oo-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga Oo-la-la!
Want your bad romance

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

I want your drama
With the touch of your hand
I want you leathe-studded kiss in the sand
And I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
B-B-Bad and bad

I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!)
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Get rid or hide points or the plus/minus system? Hiding the plus/minus would just lead people just say "my points changed, I don't know why" over and over.

People really need to get over the idea that mgopoints can be turned in for door prizes.

People will never get over that notion. Not as long as this system exists. It’s simply too much to ask. Aside from scraping the whole system, the next option is to hide them completely.

No one can say "my points changed, I don't know why" if they can't see them in the first place.** All posting privileges remain, unless they fall under the minimum threshold. Neither they, nor anyone else, would ever notice a difference between 20 points and 2000 points. Yet it still serves it’s primary purpose: calling attention to particularly abusive posters and trolls.

Further, it might actually force people to start reading comments and forming their own opinions before voting, instead of voting en masse because a comment has already gotten several votes in one direction or another. Heck, it even force people to comment better, because it eliminates the e-peen and carelessness that can come from the knowledge of having many points. Am I going to make a thoughtless comment if I’m not sure whether I have 20 points or 2000 points? Probably not.

So basically, the point is to put them out of sight and out of mind. Trolls will still get negged, and threads like this one will hopefully be limited to one a year (or eliminated completely), instead of being a weekly occurrence.

**Isn’t this a complaint already?
