Taking El Chapo off of moderation

I actually had lunch with Lakes yesterday. Not the typical Bison talk for an hour. He has toned the Bison chatter way down. He has a new job so I think he actually is working a bit more. Plus three kids under 10 starting to get busy with activities. So that takes away from his posting time.

Also on his Facebook page he controls. Bisonation ND he doesn't post much.

Could it be he is "maturing". Time will tell on that one.

That's awesome. Seeing signs for maturity are the only pleasure I'd get from letting Lakes post without moderation. However, he doesn't need Bisonville to help him on that journey.

That appears to be a doll representing you, not me.

Don't get me wrong. There is still a lot of "stupid" with Lakes in the 50 minutes I spent with him. An example of the change in the discussion. Instead of the whole lunch discussing his "EPIC" travels to Boulder very little time was spent on his Boulder NDSU experience. We actually discussed quite a bit whether his oldest should be playing tackle football versus a group of parents wanting them to play flag football. Son is 4th grade. He even coached summer little league and claims he was invited back to coach.

All things we would never consider from Lakes a year or two ago.

I'm no fan of Lakes posts, and the really stupid one that got him put on moderation. However, he's done his penance and these are reasonable expectations. Not to mention, it's your board, Tony, so you obviously have every right to make final decisions.

Instead of banning him for Violation #1, fine him for each occurrence. If he goes off on an a FBS tirade then ban him until he post proof of $100 donation to Team Makers. Also, you have to give him some wiggle room. Allow him to make a "Lakes, FBS thread" and require all his FBS tirades to go into that one thread. If people want to read it and post in it great, if not, no harm no foul. If he post FBS jargon outside of that, then fine him.

I had heard rumblings of an epic little league youth movement. They're trying to get ndsu fbs. Now i know who pumped that up.

Wasn't directed at anyone in particular, more aimed at everyone in general. (but if he did hurt you...)

So Lakes' flag football team will be FBS before NDSU? Sounds about right.
Pump it up!
