The Washington Post backhands Extremeskins.com

[BDBohnzie]

what's sad is...that post was written over a year ago. if anything, Mike Wise should have written about it last year. It's definitely short sided and childish to bring this up now.

For those who might be interested, this thread contains my Letter to the Editor pursuant to Mr. Wise's first column where he used this cheap stunt, as well as some comments from the poster who was quoted:

Good response in defense of not only your board, but message boards in general.

For the life of me I just do not understand why Extreme Mods constantly are checking and posting on this site. You would think with there 100,000 members and there deal with the Skins that they have enough to do over there. Checking all the Arrington post and making sure all are being good little boys and girls. But now they come over here to. I post over there sometimes but just when I see a thread that peaks my interest. But do they sit in front of the computer 24/7?

Do we have a potential answer for question #3 here??

Sorry. Was away from the computer for a while.

Didn't get to see CT's latest hypocrisy. How many times is it you've shown up on ES since the merger for the sole purpose of poking a stick at us, CT? I've lost track.

As to why we'd check here ... because we're not provincial. And because we're fans of the team. We follow trends and discussion on all manner of Redskins boards (and even some of other teams, believe it or not) to keep abreast of what's happening.

Not quite sure why that would be a foreign concept to anyone.

How come all of you ES guys have just recently joined TWP then?

I don't speak for "all the ES guys," but I can speak for me. I've been a member of several Redskins boards for a long time, and I'm pretty sure I was a member here as well long before the merge, and long before my current account was activated. At some point along the way, I apparently managed to lose track of my original TWP account, and so registered again when the merger thing exploded and I felt compelled to at least TRY to dispell some of the more egregious misrepresentations I saw.

Still kinda hoping to do that to the extent possible .. though the level of animus I'm finding most of the time has me wondering if it's not like trying to play horse-whisperer to a hungry mako.

Low blow, as all I did was post a question as to why you guys would surf here when you have so much to do over at Extreme. Please go read all of my post on your site, as they are not all poking a jab or questionning the reason as to join forces with the Skins. You say you have lost track but as you guys constantly say over on your site "Use the Search tool". If you used it you would apparently be able to keep track.

And I guess based on your response what would you be trying to keep abreast of? You guys have complete access to the Skins and the amount of fans spewing off about this and that, what more could you possibly get. Seems you are just really monitoring what might be said about Extreme, which is quite pointless since most of the discussion around here revolves around the games, and other teams. One of the items I did bring up a few weeks back was when the Redskins clearly crossed the line in attacking the post via the message board. They have not otherwise pointed the readers to the message board other then when a article is written or a chat is open. They clearly pointed people to a thread that involved their own interest. This is not what you guys had originally said would happen with your site. It was stated that the Skins would never use the site to their own advantage. Maybe I misunderstood. But all I have done on some of the post over there is point this out and some have answered with "I see your point" and some have answered with "you are trying to stir the pot". I just am trying to understand the actuall motives of Karl Swanson and Dan Synder as thier practices in the past have been questionable. Apparently the way that Karl has handled our good friend Joe should really be questioned. He is a fan and a reporter and should at least be treated with respect. You have to admit he was treated rather poorly and we all hope that you guys would back him up and maybe restore his privlidges for the Warpaths Self Serving needs and wants.
