Peegs is running a business here...fortunately for all of us he does a very nice job with the information he continually provides us with regarding the Hoosiers...unfortunately he doesn't (in my opinion) do as good a job of of making sure his customers are happy with the way he runs his business.
For instance...if he ran a theater and certain group of his customers were always talking out and being disruptive to the rest of the paying customers, I am sure he would take steps to make sure that the disruptive customers were made aware of the fact that the theater was for everyone's enjoyment.
Another instance...ever been in church when the babies started crying...yeah, yeah I know that's what babies do...but many churches make available rooms for mothers to take the babies when they are crying until they quiet down...thus allowing the remaining congregation to hear and benefit from the Lord's message.
Another instance...the bar where the guys or gals who have had too much of the spirits, become loud, obnoxious and belligerent. The other customers would leave if the manager didn't take steps to either curtail the disruptive behavior or have the disrupters removed, so that the rest of his paying customers can continue to enjoy the "friendly" atmosphere which is conducive to repeat customer's enjoyment.
...the library is another place where you see the annoying noisemakers being curtailed.
But there are many businesses that also have to rein in some customers for the continued enjoyment of all.
My complaints in the past have not been about people looking for good restaurants in Bloomington. Nor about the Steelers, or the Pacers, or the Colts...or for that matter anything resembling a discussion about sports in general. Thus I posted about a series of TV ads I saw while watching the Hoosiers on the BTN...of course there were the expected hoots and derision about an OT post...but then there always have been the certain element who can't distinguish the difference between on-the-line and over-the-line...right G?
My complaints have been about ridiculiously OT posts like WATER HEATERS, CARS, FAVORITE MOVIES, WHERE TO CONNECT WITH WHORES IN FORT WAYNE, AND TV SHOWS THE KIDS ARE WATCHING as well as many other assorted totally non-related topics.
PEEGS has gone through the motions of correcting these abuses, he has made know where he considers the over-the-line starts...but as always there are those who have no respect for others "in the room" and even the person who "owns the room". They think his rules are for everyone else except them...they can care less if they are "disturbing the peace" so to speak. You see them everyday...they drive down the road with their big bass speakers going off so loud they...well I guess they just like to be annoying to everyone around.
As I said PEEGS has stated his interpretation of "the line", he has pointed out that there is an OFF TOPIC FORUM where the OT posts should properly go...but then there is always the guy holding up the John 3:13 whenever a field goal is being attempted or a freethrow is being shot...It's all about them and their message. I don't go to that guys church and hold up a GO BEARS sign.
I know I am not the only one who feels the OT posts are obnoxious and out-of-place...there have been a large number of not-as-vocal posters who have supported my position.
I know there will be those of you that say if I don't like OT posts what am I doing if not posting an OT post...well that's a good question. The answer to that is I won't post anymore if you don't...but if you do I will also. But the real question is: PEEGS, how much do you care about ALL your CUSTOMERS? Enough to sweep the trash to the proper forum? If your answer is yes...then I invite you to start with this one...don't remove it, but move it to the proper place you have already provided. I am sure everyone will appreciate it now and in the future. In other words run it like a business.
