Posting Guidelines for BWI/McAndrew Board

[SteveMasters]

Are the any documented posting guideline for what is and is not permissible to post on the McAndrew Board?

Is the topic of Jerry Sandusky's PCRA and whether or not he got a fair trial a topic that is too controversial?

Whatever the PC posters ask to be deleted will be.

Must be.....while I'll conform to whatever standards are necessary for posting, it seems that anything that attempts to point out some obviously suspicious features of the Sandusky situation lasts on the board for only a few minutes.

Like most here, I love PSU football and that is what I always hope to talk about - but sometimes other issues...more content oriented situations need to be discussed. In our PSU past, we never shied away from discussions with serious social and political content, but, it appears things have changed. That is the real PSU "Culture".

WE ARE.....started because, as a University, we wanted to be part of a dialog that supported "doing the right thing". I guess now, as Paterno once said, we need to set lower expectations

 

[cjrugger]

Not sure if its documented but heres a good rule of thumb- If you start a thread that gets deleted, don't start the same thread again. If the 2nd one gets deleted, don't star the same thread a third time. Etc, etc

 

[CappyToCJF]

Avoid politics and criticism of anything "Philly".....

Repetitive posts and hijacking the site used to be a part of the board rules. They are no longer posted, but this OCD type desire of Steve with Jerry has run it's course. I just hope they keep whacking his crap until he gets the picture. He can use various other social media sites to fight Jerry's battle for him.

You have an agenda which causes you to be obsessed with trying to get a convicted child molester a new trial. Everyone in the world without an agenda believes Jerry Sandusky is where he belongs. You are so wrapped up in the minutia of your argument that I don't think you realize how sleazy your agenda is and how nobody wants to be associated with it.

The owners of this Board have a proprietary interest in it. What they determine is appropriate content for their board has nothing to do with fairness, free speech or a strict compliance with stated ground rules. If you want to have these discussions, I suggest you find another message board where discussions about freeing convicted child molesters are encouraged and appreciated.

Or Pittsburgh.

The problem is simply the following. If you advocate for sandusky's Constitutional Right of a fair trial, which he did not receive in June 2012, you get certain people screaming bloody murder ( ) and characterizing you as believing sandusky to be innocent. They automatically assume that you want to see a known pedophile back on the street to harm children. THEY. ARE. OUTRAGED.

i submit that in at least some cases it is false outrage. Many are far too concerned with what others may think.

 

[psuro]

Here are some general rules:

1. No profanity. No f*cking way.
2. If you mention a woman in your post, you are obligated, by the Geneva Convention, to post a photo of this woman, or face the wrath of the Council of Elders of this board. Exceptions are female family members and Bruce/Caitlin Jenner.
3. Any non PSU poster who comes here asking for "where to go on my first visit to Penn State" must be told to go straight to Chumley's on College Ave.
4. The back up quarterback who has never played will always be better than the starter.
5. The QB recruit who has not yet set foot on campus is better than the backup quarterback.
6. If Franklin takes the same approach as Joe did to a player issue, he gets a pass, whereas Joe can get lambasted - still.
7. It's not really all Jay's fault, but I am allowed to blame him.
8. There are scant few places that people on this board have not visited. So, with the exception of North Korea, Brunei, and West Philly, we will always be able to tell you hotels/restaurants and where to score hookers. (OK, so West Philly has that).
9. Boilo is the official drink of the BWI board.
10. If you are a Democrat, you demonize the Republicans. If you are a Republican, you demonize the Democrats. And everyone demonizes the Socialists.
11. No one really understand Michael Felli, and many of us have stopped trying.
12. Everyone on this board is morally superior to any celebrity who has done something immoral, illegal or unscrupulous. And if you don't believe me, just ask them.

I think that should cover it for now. These are our 12 Commandments of the BWI/McAndrew Board.

I don't believe that Sandusky's Petition for a new trial has run its course at all. IMO it is just getting started. Whether you want to admit it or not, there is a very strong case that there was something very wrong with Sandusky's trial. It will be very interesting to see the Commonwealth's response to the Petition that is due by Sept. 1.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

I think you should do it elsewhere and I don't care if you can't understand what Jerry did. The school, Joe, and his reputation is what drives your transparent fight for Jerry. They need to delete this thread too and warn you about doing this again. Save Jerry elsewhere.

If you want to have these discussions, I suggest you find another message board where discussions about freeing convicted child molesters are encouraged and appreciated.

Judging from what other commenters have said on this board, there are a lot of people who believe that Sandusky didn't get a fair trial and that he deserves a new trial. I will acknowledge that there are also a lot of people who believe that the trial was fair enough and that a new trial is not needed and would be a waste of time of money. I don't believe either side of the issue is morally superior to the other. I just don't understand why people are so afraid to even discuss the topic.

This is BWI's board, and I am fine with BWI's moderators deciding what is and what is not appropriate content for the board. My understanding is that the primary purpose of this board is to discuss Penn State football. IMO, issues regarding the Penn State/Jerry Sandusky story are very relevant to this board and are not going away any time soon.

Please make it stop. The court will decide, and we will find out. And no discussion here will change that. Quit picking the scab.

So, you are one of the Time to Move On crowd. Why is it so painful for you to even see a discussion of the numerous irregularities that took place in the trial?

The Move on crowd supported the BoT. Plenty here can separate the piss poor job the BoT did from Jerry's actual molestation which did occur according to 8 victims. The BoT's poor decisions don't excuse Jerry's crimes. No matter how badly some want that to be the case.

Do you believe the first trial was fair LaJolla? I don't. The lack of a fair trial doesn't not show that Sandusky is innocent, it only shows that his guilt has not been established. IMO his guilt (if he is guilty) should be established with a fair trial.

Do you want to ask everyone that same GD question one more time? Yes the trial was fair enough to put a serial pedophile where he belongs. No matter how badly you and your senior home are upset by the nice pedophile getting locked up. Yes he is guilty and you have to be pretty thick not to know what I think by now.

I respectfully disagree. I don't believe the joke of a trial established that Sandusky is a serial pedophile. There are too many unanswered questions. The key unanswered question is if the case was a slam dunk case like it was made out to be, why did the OAG have to do all sorts of shenanigans to convict him?

You just want to keep going with this crap. 8 different victims stated he was a pedophile and he couldn't even refute 1 of them. Keep blaming the OAG and everyone else...poor ole Jerry. You are delusional and I feel sorry for you as you value a school or coach more than the innocent children he raped. It's pretty disgusting and where PSU got the Cult name from, but thankfully you're in a super small minority. No need to quote me or start any new threads. I think Jerry is a pedophile and should die in jail, you don't. If you aren't clear where I'm coming from now, you're just not paying attention.

Bring this crap somewhere else. Your congressman, your local paper, your shrink...I don't care, but it's not going to change.

You say he didn't get a fair trial? Let's see what a judge says about it. My money is on the conviction being validated.

They railroaded the guy on 48 counts? Now that is better than a southern jury could do during the civil rights era. I predict an appeal will never succeed.

Anything less then a Sandusky retrial and Penn State stays buried in the grave. There are way too many posters on any board who can't seem to grasp this simple fact.
