Can't stand the owner, and would fire the entire front office out of a cannon and into the sun.

That would have been the better way to tell the joke.

Explaining the joke as part of the joke is typically what hacks do. #TeamME

The best way to tell that joke is exactly how I did. Everyone who knows me got it, everyone who doesn't is free to jump to conclusions and look silly. Win-win.

First off, I didn’t jump to conclusions, I didn’t know your intent and didn’t try to paint you as anything. However if a joke can’t stand on its own without requiring knowledge about the person then it’s probably not that great of a joke to start with. I like the other version mentioned above as it makes it clearer and impersonal. Anyway, we spent too much time on this already, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I mean, you obviously did and that's cool. Despite being one of the loudest progressive voices here for a decade, and in general being a deeply sarcastic human being (neither of which I blame you for not knowing, you're a Habs board guy, I know) you immediately assumed I was being serious with a very, very regressive statement and that it was going unaddressed by the shitlibs here. Is what it is.
Nah, this is a deep mis read of the room if you guys think that shit flies well over here on the Leaf board at all. This isn't about not knowing me specifically, this is just not knowing where you are. If I was on stormfront and posted something that was anti racist, I know what kind of reception it's going to get.

Again, I did not, which is why it was a one word reply in which I stated my position while being careful about making any assumptions and accusing you of anything. I don’t get personal, I’m not that person. But discussions have been so divisive in recent years that I understand why you think I was.

I don’t know if there’ll actually be any significant repercussions for him tbh. Guessing a lot of people will yell for a while and then he’ll ultimately get another chance.

They don't have a policy? That can't be real.

It's true. It's all on a case by case basis decided by Bettman.
