Best read I've had in a while!
Cameron Kennedy stole the show with his earlier comments though.
I somehow respect all of you blokes.
This is just a rogue seiche* in the modified harbor.
*wave, don't bother looking it up

I've only been a part of footbag for 13 years, so I can't comment on what it was like 30 years ago. That said, in my experience footbag isn't much different than it was 13 years ago. When I started playing, there was tons of politics, backbiting, and shit talk. It just wasn't as publicly visible because internet forums didn't exist.drillbit wrote:what happened to footbag?........geez
this is not the sport i picked up nearly 30 years ago.
well maybe it is, just minus all the "stuff"
this thread kinda saddens me
I was at the induction ceremony in 2003 and 2005, so I remember the announcement over the microphone. As for 2004, I didn't remember where I first heard it, but then I found this in my 2004 Worlds write-up in my blog:Webslinger wrote:You were not invited to BAP 3 times... just once in 2003 and that was it, but I guess you like your versions better...
So while I wasn't at the ceremony, my source was three very reliable footbaggers who were there. Just wanted to set the record straight.C-Fan wrote:At the convenience store, i run into Dave Clavens, Crisco, and Mike Hansen. They tell me that I got voted into BAP again and I laugh. Then, in a semi-expectant tone, Dave asks me if I will accept this time. .
Update: much hackoff footage was filmed at NYJ. Zac Miley is sorting out the footage, which should conclusively prove who is master of the universe. Or whatever it was that we were setting out to prove with it.Zac Miley wrote:Mark and Josh: I think Ken and I were planning on filming this thing at NYJ.
You silly mortals you think some hack of footage can make you master of universe? <demonical laughter: muahahahauhauahauhauahuahauhauahauhau <enough>
There is a one master and it's me. So now I (the master) challenge both of you to do 10x osis right after punching Anderson Silva into face! Ymmmm, you first.

I'm up for a video hackoff with you Radek. Maybe we could do something with Ted/Nathan Anderson instead...I like our chances better with that. In all seriousness though, Zac Miley and I shot a hackoff video at NYJ in Chicago, so hopefully a video will come out in the near future.Radek wrote: So now I (the master) challenge both of you to do 10x osis right after punching Anderson Silva into face!

Hey I tried it!
I punched Anderson, did 10 times osis. Video should be uploaded whenever I leave this hospital (up to 3 months) Now I am true master of universe
And seriously, I am too weak to face you now, but I feel this spring will be mine (check out 'new moves' thread, I'm rollin!*)
*ruling too.

So you're finally gonna shoot "Ken punches some guy in the back of the head, then runs away - in HD"?

To be fair the discussion in this thread (which is likely the worst I've ever seen on Modified) is pretty tame compared to what happens in a lot of other forums. I'm not vilifying this BS at all but we all need to please keep things in perspective.drillbit wrote:what happened to footbag?........geez

On another note this was perhaps the most amusing thread I've seen here in ages. Really poor form from several posters but a good read nonetheless.
Also Ken, you'd school me in shred pretty much any day of the week but from what I've seen your form COULD use some work. You bust some incredible shit but it's very choppy. Does that get me a point?

I think you meant justifying, not villifying, but it brings up an interesting point about how flame wars are preserved on modified, under the current moderation policy.Anexthesis wrote: To be fair the discussion in this thread is pretty tame compared to what happens in a lot of other forums.

The way things work on modified now, is that after a flamewar ends, the mods selectively delete parts of the flame war. Usually, they remove the most offensive posts. This has the unfortunate effect of removing context from the argument, effectively penalizing the posters who kept the most level head. Take this hypothetical exchange:
Poster A: Your style sucks, and you are gay.
Poster B: You're a dick.
Poster A: You're worse than Hitler. Suck a dick.
Poster B: Nobody likes you.
Poster A: I will physically harm you when I see you next.
Poster B: You've never accomplished anything in footbag, which is why nobody cares what you say.
Not a very nice exchange, and both posters are guilty of being jerks. That said, Poster A breaks forum rules, while Poster B does not. Therefore, when the flame war is over, the mods will go back and edit it so it looks like this:
Poster A: Your style sucks.
Poster B: You're a dick.
Poster A: You're worse than Hitler.
Poster B: Nobody likes you.
Poster B: You've never accomplished anything in footbag, which is why nobody cares what you say.
So while in the original, unedited exchange, you can see that Poster B is responding to inappropriate attacks from Poster A, in the redacted version that is left behind, it looks like Poster B is just needlessly throwing insults, since the offending comments that provoked them have been removed. For modified users who saw the original exchange, nothing is changed, but for people who read this thread (or any other flamewar) after the fact, it doesn't reflect what happened. I don't think this is a good policy. The original flamewar should be left unedited, or removed altogether.
I appreciate the attempt, but it's really not nasty enough to get a point. Maybe if you added something about my grandmother's sexuality, or how my cooking sucks, etc. Or if you had said it in a freestyle rap or something.Anexthesis wrote: Also Ken, you'd school me in shred pretty much any day of the week but from what I've seen your form COULD use some work.

Anyway, it would be nice if the mods discussed the flamewar response strategy in the mods forum, and posted something about it.
