    Hey guys...
    I haven't been around much lately, so I didn't witness a lot of the drama that took place after Mo left. I have heard bits and pieces and quite frankly, I am a little disappointed that grown adults can be so cruel toward each other when hiding behind a computer.

    Having said that, I have noticed from glancing at the forum that things seem to be getting back to normal, so please do not assume that I am here to stir the pot.

    I am not the designated spokesperson for the ladies of SBR, but as a neutral party who hasn't registered at EOG, I wanted to let some of you know why the other three ladies are not posting here as they have in the past (that seems to be the reason some of you vultures have treated them as carrion).

    Nancy (Sportsgirl) has been a regularly posting member of this forum for two years now...but because she was having fun with a friend on another message board, she is now a slut, a whore, a traitor, etc and shunned by certain individuals whenever she posts in the threads.

    I suppose I should play the devils advocate and say that the women should not be treated any differently than the men in regards to being on the receiving end of the torment. And you all have to admit that for the most part, the women have been pretty good sports. Right? Right.

    I haven't followed any of the threads at EOG, but it has been made abundantly clear that the women are treated fairly and aren't egregiously picked on, but rather spoken to as if they were just another member of the message board. And from what I have been told, their posting behavior is not at all different from the manner in which they posted over here.

    So there you have it. The other women, excluding myself, of course, did not follow Mo over there simply to abandon SBR. They have found that in posting over there, they obtain a much greater level of respect, even when talking about boobies and e-flirting with others (talk of which I have never been a big fan of).

    Also, so that I make myself perfectly clear, it is my personal opinion that EOG has embraced the aforementioned ladies as a personal slap in the face to SBR. And what do some of you do? You prove their point by further driving the women away.

    Congrats!

    Robyn

        All will work itself out.

        Gamblers have been known to be a bit cranky from
        time to time.

            I love me some Richkas, but he has been a little wiggety whack. I'd like to hear his reasoning, without being disrespectful, as to why he is so angry that they other ladies are posting over there. Did EOG do something bad to him?

              *sigh*...I'm sure you are right. But this will only further prove my point as to the real reason the other ladies aren't posting here as often.

              But I also suppose that the same individuals you are speaking about do not really even care that the women aren't posting here...they are just using that as a reason to further berate women in general.

                Well said, Robyn.

                If anyone would like to talk to me like a human being about any of this, let me know.

                  I believe all these "women" are all paid posters, or ghosts.

                  Most girls I know take the same approach to gambling, as they would rape.

                  p.s. girls don't like rape.

                    If these "women" were "paid posters", wouldn't they be "paid" to "stick around" SBR?

                      Robyn, don't read too deeply into it.

                      Nancy will post where she wants, the comments of a few immature kids aren't representative of SBR itself or its posters. I can assure you there are dumbasses at both places, such is the nature of online gambling forums.

                      Anybody worth his salt here or there will show her respect until they have a reason not to.

                          I've never had a problem with any of the women posters and wished they were still here on a frequent basis. They bring a whole new dynamic to the place. That being said, I think over the last few weeks, SBR has moved in a very positive direction and all the cut you to the quick replies that were floating around have ceased. Everyone has kinda bonded together and made this forum very solid. We rib each other from time to time, but nothing like the blatant intention of hurting someone you saw before.

                          Hopefully the girls will come back more often, but either way, as long as they enjoy were they are, thats all that matters. Just so long as they know, we'll always be here and we'll leave the light on for them.

                            I see less man drama nowadays ... Does it have to do with the girls or not? I really couldn't say ... but there are WAY more sports threads and thats a plus in my book!!

                              This is very true. But you do have to admit (and you have been an infractor in the past) that a good chunk of the men here are pretty nasty to some of the ladies. I let what most of the fools say roll off my back, but Swede for instance, has taken a great amount of abuse from some of you. Now I am not saying that she hasn't deserved a lot of it because she likes to battle, but come on now.

                              I am not saying that people need to go out of their way to be nice to the girls just BECAUSE they are girls...but they also don't need to go out of their way to be dicks JUST because we are girls. Does that make sense?

                                Gambling and women just don't go together. Check the video on the other thread. With that said, I don't understand the nastyness of some people on the forum. Fact is, if you don't like some of the threads, don't look at them. When I'm at the porno store and looking for some jacking material, I go to the section of the store that I like, and then I don't look at the other sections that I don't like. It is called freedom of choice.

                                I think that sometimes gamblers have a bad patch of luck and it seems like they get some PMS going. I know I used to do it myself until I got under control. I just realized that it doesn't do anyone anygood to be mean for no reason.

                                  I'll still be here! I have no intention of registering at EOG...not because I don't like anyone over there, I just don't have any additional time in my day to dedicate to yet another internet activity.

                                        The last time a poster said some kinda bullsh!t about wishing another posters dad got cancer, he was banned. Hopefully, this will be the case, if ya'll come back and some poster flies off the deep end with his comments.

                                          SBR is filled with a bunch of real men.. whereas EOG is filled with a bunch of fags and wussies..

                                          to prove my point.


                                          don't women love men that treat them like shit, OR open their car door all the time and be super sweet to them. Girls have admitted many times that women hate men that are sweet all the time. they like the rough guys that treat them like dirt.


                                          so if you want a nice guy who will suck up to you and never put you in your seat like richie does, then eog is the place for all of you women..

                                          if you want men who will tell it like it is to you, treat you like dirt, stay here..


                                          that's why all you women that go to EOG, will end up back here again, just like now.. because you will get bored there very fast..

                                          SBR has real men..

                                            Rage: your 100% right, in general gambling and women don't go together. I've been fortunate that most of the women I've been with didn't mind my gambling. As long as they let me gamble it's all fine by me.

                                            I had one woman tell me I had to choose between her and gambling....... don't think I got to tell you which way I went.

                                            Every forum goes through drama (and every chat room etc). I wasn't around here when the $hit hit the fan with mo, but don't really care if he or others post at EOG. I've posted on other boards and so have a lot of others. The "women" of SBR are taking heat because they are "women".

                                            I'd prefer to e flirt with Swede or sportsgirl than man flirt with a degenerate gambler. But hey that's just me.

                                                to prove my point.


                                                don't women love men that treat them like shit, OR open their car door all the time and be super sweet to them. Girls have admitted many times that women hate men that are sweet all the time. they like the rough guys that treat them like dirt.


                                                so if you want a nice guy who will suck up to you and never put you in your seat like richie does, then eog is the place for all of you women..

                                                if you want men who will tell it like it is to you, treat you like dirt, stay here..


                                                that's why all you women that go to EOG, will end up back here again, just like now.. because you will get bored there very fast..

                                                SBR has real men..

                                                I think you might have a bit of a warped opinion as to what women want, but that's beside the point, lol! You're cute.

                                                I can only speak for myself because the other women have their own thoughts on this topic. I have enjoyed posting here in the past because for the most part, some of you guys are funny as hell. I do read a lot of the sports threads, but when I see the drama start up, it irritates the crap out of me. There is only so much caveman BS I can deal with.

                                                        Who the **** cares if a poster is a guy or a girl?Not many people care so there is no real need to bring it up. If someone says something bad to one of you girls just ignore it. They are the ones making themselves look stupid by saying it not you girls.

                                                            Different feel here now. Test drive it for awhile. I'm sure there will be those that will take a run at you, but I don't think it will be anything like the past, and in addition, I've seen you take some shots and still stand unscathed. What do ya gotta lose? Social acceptance from gamblers on a sports forum?

                                                              I had one woman tell me I had to choose between her and gambling....... don't think I got to tell you which way I went.
                                                              I don't want to get off track here, but I have seen this argument brought up time and time again over here. Question for you though. Do the women in your life get upset about it because you are compulsive? Do you care more about gambling than anything else in your life? Do you lie to her about it and use money from your savings or 401K to appease your fix? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, THAT'S the reason she gave you the ultimatum. I think that's what some of you don't understand. I personally do not mind that my husband gambles, but the minute it turns into a problem, I will have a problem. If you didn't have women in your lives to smack you around sometimes, you wouldn't have a pot to piss in. Now give me an Amen. AMEN!

                                                              I wasn't around, either...but the ladies told me about it. I have been too busy here at work to pay much attention. Plus, I hate the drama. I didn't even want to get involved, but I really don't want to see them stop posting here all together. I like it when I can come in here and have fun and joke around with you guys without people constantly pointing out that we are stupid women who need to stay in the kitchen.

                                                                Just seems that the threads posted by the girls seem to just snowball all of the time into something bad and thats when bad words start to come out against the girls. Its kinda like they are starting a thread just to get a reaction out of everyone. There really was no need for this thread

                                                                  this sounds like a richie post.. but if you girls think this was a slam, wait till richie gets home and sees this thread. this post here was a cake walk compared to what you're about to get once richie sees this thread.

                                                                  richie is a nut, he doesn't like you women at all.. he hates you like you have no idea.

                                                                  and he will probably be sober too, seeing it's afternoon time.. you should thank your lucky stars he is not drunk, because if he posts here drunk, fasten your seatbelts. i will pray for you women..

                                                                  richie has a lot of bitterness towards you ladies.

                                                                    I think that somewhere along the line, some of the men picked up on a little bit of caveman mentality toward the women and ran with it. It then became their own little joke to talk to the ladies like they were unworthy of even breathing the same air. I am also 100% certain that the exact same individuals would never in their wildest dreams speak to any of us in that manner face to face. It's just easy to hide behind a computer and be a tough guy.

                                                                    A joke is a joke until it is taken too far.
