Unfortunately, if it can be proven that the TexAgs ownership had knowledge of these "issues" and continued to give him access to our personal info, then that's a big problem. I like the site, but since the mods now have god status (in their own eyes), I spend less and less time here

This post should end this thread in my opinion. Responsibility for one's own actions. Thank you for this post.drthoop said:
Seems like people want someone to blame. Nobody forced me to give Damon money. Yep, I'm one of the people he got money from. I did it of my own free will. Didn't have a gun held to my head. Luckily it wasn't anywhere close to the amount a lot of folks are out. But I'm the one that is ultimately to blame for what I lost. Not even Damon. I could have said no.
Posting info to "warn people" would bring up the whole "slander can of worms".
Not Texags fault. Not anyone else who was taken's fault. And not really Damon's fault. It was my fault for being taken in.
That said, yes, Damon is a sorry excuse for a human, but he is what he is. I think society has forgotten how to think and when something goes wrong loves to play the victim and blame someone else.
As one of those 10-15, Pat, I suspect I know where I fit on that spectrum, as we have discussed to some degree over the years.Potcake said:
After 18 years, I've finally learned not to let TA or poster attacks piss me off anymore. I have met 10-15 in person over the years. Some, who are arrogant as TA posters were very cordial and fun to be around. Others who come off as benign on TA have been quite the opposite IRL. TexAgs provides a lot of useful info and entertainment just be aware that you never know exactly who you're communicating with.
That said, I reckon you and I represent the dichotomy that exists on this site when the common heritage we share is often strained by a different political perspective. that dichotomy is even expressed in how to manage coaching/player issues on the field/court when we act out our angst in what seems a never-ending drama. Which is what brought us together in the first place! (All the rest is just noise of our own making.) He stole from me in late 2017. Several thousand dollars of "retainer" money for legal services. I haven't hired many lawyers in my life, the several I engaged required a retainer. I never lended him money, I hired him to represent me and my GF,s son.MookieBlaylock said:

He didn't. I have every text that the lying scumbag ever sent. This is no 3rd hand story. Come to Austin sometime and I'll be glad to show them to you.MookieBlaylock said:Maybe he did maybe he didn't but 3rd hand stories don't hold much waterRedstone said:
Is it really difficult for you to understand the basics of lawyering? Anyone who accepts payment takes action as is appropriate - which means PAPER and FILING - or its fraud

This is nothing more than a 3 to 5 year birch fest that somehow got the owner of the site involved
I must've missed him collecting money for Toombs' son. I remember Toombs selling t-shirts to raise money. I bought a shirt directly from Toombs, so it didn't pass through jorts' hands.trouble said:
I have no idea about the money for toombs' son. I do know that compliance shut that down because they considered it improper benefits. I have no idea what happened after that.

Jorts is a loser, idiot. But the mods needs to clean their act up too. I've seen so many smartarse responses to (albeit dumb posts) from the mods that are so disrespect to paying consumers from interns that have no idea what they are saying. That's why this site will get zero dollars from me until the mods learn to act right and understand they work for the customers
As with any good comedian, the best troll's trolls are at least 1/2 true. Mookie is no exception. It's mostly posted for its troll value, but based on truth, or at least "his version" of it. And I say this as someone who's hung out with Mookie, in years past...Player To Be Named Later said:
I'm just impressed at how many people are still falling for Mookie's troll jobs.
Outside of Jorts, his bit has to be the longest running bit on TexAgs.
Brandon, what burns me is that Jorts had moderator privileges. You were letting a wolf self-police. I remember specific cases on another board where he and his cohorts would use the most vile language and comments and if you replied in kind your comments would be removed and you'd be threatened with a permaban. All the while their comments stayed up - so seems like Jorts was allowed to provoke and then hide behind being a moderator to try to bully you into backing down.

Our moderators do not have access to a user's personal information. They can access a user's public profile (which is public for all to see) and a user's log of moderation actions. That's it.

No mas. All about (lack of) proper Moderation.
Hope a lot of you go "free", so we can force improvement on this site and arrest the decline in quality.
"Good 'ol Damon" is just the most blatant loser here. There are a number of entitled jerks, relying on their same old favoritism by staff, who run wild, spreading lies and **** ...ing with people. Because staff lets them. Funny, huh, staff? Y'all laugh at the tailgate?
Best thing that can happen to TexAgs at this late point is demonstrably declining subscriptions. Hope it happens.
User feedback is ignored or condescended to; "pals" are taken care of, just like Damon. Damon's just sicker than *most* of the other usuals.
It's an Internet message board, dude. Chill out.88jrt06 said:Likewise. Paid for 15+/- years, both Premium and Varsity at different times.piag94 said:

Well, if you read through all the call out posts on this thread and permaban them, TexAgs subscription levels would have double digit losses.Nosh said:88jrt06 said:Likewise. Paid for 15+/- years, both Premium and Varsity at different times.piag94 said:

These call out posts have typically ended in permabans of good Ags of all subscription levels.

I love TexAgs. Never had any major issues with the moderators. I think they do a great job.
Life is not fair. Everyone is not treated equally. No one is sticking a gun to your head and forcing you to post on here or give them money.

Again, if you look at almost every other message board/forum/reddit, the Mods are public information for the users of the board.piag94 said:

[We are leaving this thread alone as much as possible to let people vent but we are going to be very clear about that subject
The volunteer moderators do not have access to the personal information of any posters and that included Damon. -Staff]
