I have revised this blog to show my appreciation for CBSsportsline's fairness with me in private conversation regarding an improper and off-topic post I made on the main CBB board a little over a week ago.

I will try to limit my posts on the boards to sports related topics as best as I can, and will post non-sports related comments on my personal blog. I definetely don't want to have a repeat post in which there is a chance that I may offend anyone.

Thank you again Sportstline staff and moderators.

Sean.

Maybe he can help you out by either deleting the warnings or giving you a straight up answer from an actual human, of why they gave you a warning and deleted your thread. Sometimes I don't think the people you e-mail at the help center are actually humans. They post the same exact paragraph of reasoning to everybody. Unless they just copy and paste it off of something. [ Reply to Comment ]

As such, they can change the rules at any time or make them as hypocritical or arbitray as they wish. Its their game and we are merely its players. Your comment does have merit in my mind. Was it offensive to you or I? No. Was it offensive to someone/anyone else in the CBS community? Likely. I think this is why CBS would make the comment. I had a comment calling Jose Conseco the colloquial equivalent of a son born to an unwed mother and had my post deleted. Whatever. [ Reply to Comment ]

The issue will only go away if we stop making it an issue. It shouldn't be an issue anymore. [ Reply to Comment ]

Your post tried to compare Jose Conseco to an unwed mother as if that were a bad thing, and by doing so, you may have insulted anyone who is an unwed mother. I did not use the word "gay" in a negative way. I only asked a question to which nobody had to reply, but one in which they could sumbit a vote anonymously without insulting any specfic class of people or persons. <> [ Reply to Comment ]
