As a long time friend of Facetimer, I think I should say a few words on his behalf.
Facetimer made his first post to defend Mike Rosenberg, who many of you know and have gotten to know since Facetimer's original post. For those of you who know Mike, he is clearly a great guy and one of Lynah's most faithful faithful. Essentially, Facetimer's original post had a positive result.
Throughout the months, Facetimer has also started topics that although many of the faithful may not agree with (e.g. Schafer should be fired, or the pep band shouldn't travel to away games), they were well thought out arguments and his opinion . The post about firing Schafer listed 5 or 6 reasons why he believed Schafer should be fired. But rather than just disagreeing with him, you castrated him for his well thought out opinion. Why have an open forum if some opinions aren't valid. Facetimer's point throughout his posting tenure was something on the lines of "you are all brainwashed by Age, Berge and the like, and you all follow the leader like a cult. This forum is truly masturbatory in that you all like to hear yourselves talk, but don't like to listen to dissent." Again, going back to Facetimer's original post, he was chastising Greg Berge for believing that Mike Rosenberg's chant crossed the line, and as soon as someone disagreed with him, everyone on the forum followed Berge's lead.
You guys are some of the smartest people in the nation. There are people like Pavlov who will analyze Facetimer's physiology, and the not so smart, but always grammatically correct One of the Guys Who Got Revenge on Volonino who all seem to be intelligent people, but cannot have a mind of their own. Facetimer was trying to bring out the individualism in each and every one of you. Facetimer, in a way, is a martyr.
If you look at the posts written by Facetimer, you will notice that there are at least two different e-mail addresses for him. As some of the more astute posters have noticed, there are strikingly different writing styles of Facetimer. Further, you may have noticed Facetimer calling Facetimer a facetimer at one point. You will see that the original Facetimer made it a point never to call out Cowbell Guy until he routed his IP address to homosexual pornography. It is a shame that an open forum will exclude people based on their opinions and the actions of others.
I hope others on this forum stand up to defend Facetimer, or chose not to read the forum.
