Is there a double standard? Sure there is, as, IMHO, there should be. As I stated earlier, this is a SIOUX FAN sports forum. If we want to indulge in a little smack talk about our rivals, what better place? Don't the Bison fans have a sports forum where they can indulge in the same about their rivals?? They should keep it there and not come on this forum with the only intent being to post smack.
I also think that a little back and forth insults are ok if posted in the appropriate thread/topic and relevant to the subject at hand. As much as IowaBison talks around and aroung the issue, coming into a thread where the question at hand is clearly and seriously stated, to post smack should not be allowed. Had I had more time at work, I, like my fellow Sioux fans, would have posted a Bison insulting, reply to Bison Dan and Iowa Bison's posts.
I don't envy the Moderator's job. This is a tough one.
