Hey guys,

I see little relevance to a "Cougar Ute Forum" given that the rivalry (which, as a native Texan, never existed for me) is unlikely to exist in the future to the same extent as the past.

CUF, as CB before, has jumped the shark. Expect a lot more activity here.

Man speaks to the river, but the river has no mind. Just purpose.

Let me guess: a sweet-talking rapist showed up in Zarahemla, and most of the Intellectualites and Apotateites felt flattered by how diverse their portfolios had just become; meanwhile you were not cool with it and made your voice known, which hurt the pride of the counsel of the judges, so they banned you.

I just think that as much as Jeff & Co try, as long as you endorse mediocrity, there's not much difference between CB and CUF other than a few f-bombs.

I don't play to the crowd; I don't care (or need to) what others think. I say what I think and know that I will be wrong a lot but that life is more about probabilities than absolutes.

I have not been to CUF since their debut day. I discourage talk about that site, because I don't want this place to get wrapped up in the politics of outside message boards.

This should not be considered a place that welcomes whining about other forums and their moderators/owners.

Moreover, while it may not be readily apparent, Cougarguard has transitioned into a pure dictatorship. I am the dictator. If I don't enjoy this site, then it has no reason to exist. As it is, I don't have to page the firing squad at all, because the only people here are the misfits that fit.

I get it. Why not a natural aristocracy? Those are much more durable.

I've been obsessively reading through your work here, Mike. I thoroughly enjoy what you've created. There's a certain skadefryd that accompanies working others up into a frenzy...but, that side of me is reaching its nadir and I'm less interested in such Kinderspiel.

I like what you've done with your place. The fact you continue despite the crowd compels me perhaps more than anything else

Mike has an art to what he does, and each forum has its own identity.

I get banned by CB. CUF has no need of me.

And just because there are rising and ebbing tides is no reason for me to abandon.

Mike, if I recall correctly, sent me a PM on CB years ago inviting me to come here. I think I'm about five+ years late. Fitting.

I have a lifetime banishment on CB and my account is no longer active and can't confirm that memory, so pardon me if I'm confusing Mike with someone else.

It was either Mike or myself. I emailed more than I can remember.
