While I get what you are saying........I think growing up in a small rural farming community is a much different experience than growing up a couple short bus rides from a city.......which is what a SUBurb is.
Firebaugh is rural.
The population is well over 90% hispanic. The school is almost entirely hispanic.
The point being........Josh didn't need pop culture or anything external to learn how to relate/communicate with people from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds........he was different every time he left the house.
AND his father employed a lot of the kids and the family members of the kids that he went to school with so he had to be kind and gracious and a lot of other things the average BMOC high school kid does not have to be.
That's likely why he's such an emotionally intelligent guy who always seems to say the right thing.

Hey regarding the thread where Tesla is getting shouted down by Chandler please make note that this is now a regular thing with Chandler. I just got off of a month timeout for suggesting that a rather random new poster didn't have season tickets in the "is it ok to boo your team" thread. I've had numerous rep point hits by him in the past couple of years that SDS has had to revoke because they were absurd........ but more importantly I log in some days and see Chandler propping up people he agrees with for what should be clear TOS violations and attacking and intimidating people who might just have a harmless negative take on the on-field product. Then some days he's mad at the team and critical. He's off the deep end as a mod and basically doing the thing I hate most on here which is shouting down discussion. If you agree by all means register complaints when you see it. SDS is very loyal and can't monitor the board all the time but bad mods have been forced out by bad behavior before.

This is what I mean. It was absurd and once you are gone you can't communicate thru the board to appeal. He has tried to ban me for less. Then some days he's giving thumbs up to my takes. Mercurial. Sometimes he responds to things like he can't comprehend what he's reading. Maybe the Bills being legitimately competitive for a change has raised up his homer-ism but I honestly question if he is having a cognitive issue of some sort. Bandit said he lashed out at him for suggesting Edmunds was the Bills best pass rusher. I mean WTF. Chandler has been on this board for a long time and I know that there are a lot more people here now than 2 years ago so it's a little more restrictive but his behavior is beyond that.

Regarding your comments to Tesla03 please be careful about even seeming to support Chandler81's continued intimidation of posters for having takes that differ from his. It's a problem. Differences of opinion stimulate discussion. You are one of a dozen or so folks on here who provide consistent good football content but without the freedom to express opinions it gets really boring and that leads to even less football discussion. I am concerned that he is stamping out a lot of people who are convicted in their opinions enough to actually care enough to contribute.

Fair enough.
I tried to steer clear of any type of endorsement since I agree about Chandler and make my statement stand on its own.
At some point this season I may exhume the thread in which Chandler called me a self righteous know it all for saying that Edmunds was the team's best pass rusher and should be playing LorAx's position once he retires. But that would only be if he gets so big for his breeches that I feel some personal responsibility ?

I'd like to see him out as a mod. He knows that. SDS is very loyal......including putting up with complaints about my sarcastic responses for years.........but it's not right having someone acting in such a mercurial manner as Chandler as a senior mod. If he's having run-ins with you that just illustrates how ridiculous it is because from what I've seen you are always cordial in disagreement. I was in timeout for a month for suggesting that JoshAllenhasBigHands didn't have season tickets in the "is it ok to boo your team thread". I've got about a dozen people on block(which they B word about) because I literally have no idea how Chandler is going to react to any response I give to them so it's not worth it. I rarely complain to Scott but some days like today I log in and Chandler is giving thumbs up to posts that he agrees with that just say "that's idiotic" (clear TOS issue/personal attack) and then threatening people for expressing dissatisfaction with what they see on the field. It's gotten ridiculous. Clear abuse of the privilege of moderation.
