Well if this doesn't light a fire under the other candidates feet in the next round of debates, what will? The majority of negative comments made against candidate Earthquake Enyart, was the fact that he left the Billszone in protest of the NFL Forum being overseen/moderated by a Miami Dolphin Fan. This, like many things that you would find on a public message board, is an opinion. People disagree with his opinion on that subject, and it shows in the polls.

Ironically, the majority of the votes are for a candidate who admitted to being a bigger New Orleans Saints fan, than a Bills fan. Although I haven't searched for the post where L.A. Playa confessed this, I can attest that he did state that at one time.

The point is, team affiliation shouldn't matter on a community board that welcomes all fans to give their input on my beloved team, the Buffalo Bills. Despite his admiration of the N.O. Saints, L.A. Playa does root for the the Buffalo Bills, as well as Earthquake Enyart. Perhaps Earthquake was not aware of his opponent's love of another team, and may have fought ever harder to knock him out of the competition? It doesn't seem to matter at this time, not with such a strong lead by candidate L.A. Playa.

However, the next round of debates will prove interesting, as candidates Gunzlingr and MBBedard are most certainly still in contention. With Supervisor Shelby cracking down on all election wrong doings, the final three candidates will be concentrating more on the important issues. We all want to have some fun with this, but who will be laughing when the wrong man gets elected?

The polls close at 8 pm, so get voting if you haven't already done so. We are assuming that it's 8 pm PST..due to our West Coast members.

Have a Great Day!

I bolded two points that I think are important.

In the first point, it definitely DOES matter that one candidate doesn't root for the Bills as their favorite team. The first debate was all about how to make the main forum better. I find it hard to believe that a president who doesn't have as big a passion for the Bills as he does for another team will be the best leader for this site.

In the second point, it seems that you are showing your preference again.

This is bad reporting with no facts to substantiate the allegations.

I love football, do I have a favorite team, no. My affiliation and rooting for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:place></st1:City> is two fold. First, I am a Reggie Bush fan and he plays in <st1:City w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:City>, secondly I root for the city of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:place></st1:City> in general since Hurricane Katrina.

I grew up in <st1:City w:st="on">Buffalo</st1:City> and root for all the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Buffalo</st1:place></st1:City> team to be successful so the long suffering fans of their teams get to experience the joy and pride of winning championships they so much desire. This has been stated before but I see has been missed in this report.

I love watching football and am not a rabid fan of any team in which my emotions rise too high or fall too low when teams I root for win or lose.

I have expected the flase accusations from my oppoents but false allegations from the press is just a shame.

I'm getting tired of the complaints about my fairness. It's not as easy as you might think ya know. Let me reiterate something I've already said a number of times.

I CANNOT VOTE.

I AM NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE.

and most importantly, as of this point the top 3 candidates are all equal in my eyes. I wouldn't mind any of them being president of the zone.

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Not being as passionate or rabid about the team as other posters could be considered a positive attribute for someone who is going to have to step in and calm certain situations in discussions about that team. They would be more likely to take into consideration the impact the discussion was having on the board rather than jump in on the side of the person who's opinion they agreed with and wave the banhammer at anyone who did not share their point of view.

Still wish you guys the best of luck along with MBB, may the best team win I guess. Its been an absolute blast so far, Im loving this, granted this is also a lot of what I do everyday just much less civil and with more attacking. There isnt a TOS in the real world...

Personally I think that the reason why LA Playa is leading is because of thing things....first of all, he has a very strong Vice President candidate. You could consider nbf the strongest VP of all the candidates. :up: 2nd, a bunch of people are sick of MBB taking over the whole board, he's too popular for his own good, maybe his heads getting a little big? :idunno: :snicker: Hell, look at all the awards he won.

If you are referring to the first "election" I was unaware anyone actually took that seriously. It was basically "Insult Competition light" hell there werent even registered teams. I totally was joking around, had I had the time to run in this election my stance would probably change on certain things as well. Or id at least take it more seriously then I did that first goof-around.

So far as I know BZ was around years before MBB got here. Dont get me wrong, I have a good time with his games but I assure you whether any of the remaining presidential candidates were here or not the TZ would be fine.

Wasnt your list the composite of 3-5 different people?

To my knowledge we give writers a pretty big medium to write for, many have gone on to write for even larger sites. Our news/frontpage staff are supported very well by shelby, nbf and others. Nbf posts in the main forum when new articles go up as well. They get plenty of support and recognition. A couple of our writers have used us as references to have opportunities writing at larger football sites. And youre right, LTBF should absolutley be asked if hed like to contribute to the front page as hes an excellent writer......Oh wait.......

And correct me if im wrong but the 2007 Billszone poster of the year was LTBF, he won in a landslide. 2nd place was like a dozen votes back, not to mention how many nominations he had....how is it no one knows him?


Here's another idea.... why not post Billzone FP content on other websites? Not spamming if you post a Bills article from another site... might help to boost traffic and membership.

It would have been easier, it would have also been inaccurate. And if any of those statements were wrong feel free to point them out. Ill wait.
