A month? Hard time.
Hang in there Edgeman. You’ll be back for football season then we can freely insult players, coaches, officials and other posters without repercussions.

What precedent would be set if accountability is
so expendable?

There is a new guy on here whose posts seem very similar to Edgeman's.
But he resembles the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. ** Edited by KCHokie2 at 7/19/2026, 11:41:27 PM

I’m not going to give out likes, but I’ll back “Free Edgeman”
I don’t remember the exact wording of the post that got him sent off, but I do remember that it was barely definable as “political “.

Then you don't remember it at all.
Like it or not, he easily qualified for this. You can google his name as a refresher course. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 7/20/2026, 7:57:58 AM

You and I might think it too harsh for what was posted, and I usually like
Edgeman's posts. But it is clear that Will is erring on the side of caution, so to speak. No, we dont have uncurtailed freedom of speech, here. This is a private company, and Will owns this platform. You can go out into the street, and say whatever you want, but you have to provide your own soap box. This is Will's soap box, and he has put restrictions on what can be discussed, and how such things are allowed to be discussed. We don't have to like these guidelines he uses. I'm not saying that I agree (or, disagree) with them, but I do understand that failure to abide by them, has consequences. I do admit that it can be hard to not post something, that would seem to be innocuous. It's easy right now, to slip up, when the owner makes no bones about dishing out immediate punishment, without further discussion. BTW, I did a quick search. Yesterday, on All Boards, this site had from at least 250, maybe as many as 500 posts. That adds up to around 90,000 posts, to 180,000 posts, per year. And, although yesterday was the World Cup Final, that number no doubt pales in comparison, to the number of posts made in Football season, and probably Basketball season. That's a whole lot of posts, to deal with. With all the complaints Will gets, and I have no idea the numbers of those complaints, but it is easy to see how much volume he has had to deal with. ** Edited by HokieNL at 7/20/2026, 7:28:46 PM

Will is defining these boards sharply. Measure twice, cut once.

You joined TSL less than six months ago and you make this judgement?
Got any clue as to how and why it got this "sharply" ?? No, of course not.

We need Edgeman back
Isn’t this arena about respectful opinions??? Fellow loungers, let’s be heard.

Politics gets into ad hominem back and forth in long threads.
You obviously don't get copied on the email complaints he gets or Report Abuse notices (when it's working). He said knock it off and the pendulum is on the short fuse side now. Will is the head honcho, the big cheese, numero uno, etc., so our cries of mercy and fairness don't mean diddly. And this too shall pass [with the upgraded web site]...hopefully. Carry on!

You are so correct, Tom.

How about freedom of speech???
Not to mention that I personally enjoy his interactions. Whether you do, or don’t, is insignificant. So, I ask you, WHY NOT?

There is freedom of speech...and exposure to private consequences...

There's no freedom here

How about parts of speech?
