Out with the Cold, in with the Stu
First off, I like Coldpizza, a lot, glad he is here. I just needed something catchy to get you reading....moving on
Most of you have been here for a while know Stujo4, or at least have him as a fond memory since it has been soooooooo long since we've heard from him. A few weeks ago I noticed I hadn't heard anything from Stu in a while. My first thought was, "Hmm, I wonder if he is actually working now....or he's on a vacation....or his computer broke....or the whole Internet broke in Kansas?" Then I realized his name had been removed from the "D-Cord" position. Curiosity set in, and I wanted answers like a pregnant man.
So I e-mailed Saintsational, asked him what was going on. He told me he sent an e-mail to Stu, asking politely to not use harsh language and negative tones. After their exchange, however it went down, ended in Stu asking to be removed as a moderator. He also sent me a link to a Norml912 fanshot.
Which brings us to the now...and now is boring. It has a lot to do with what time of year it is, the off season in between OTAs and camp sucks really bad. But I also think that it is because Stu isn't around, keeping people on their toes, cracking jokes, making semi-obscure references, posting pictures in replies, showing some conviction, and being a damn fine Saints fan...check that...a Saints fanatic.
So what are we gonna do now? Stu, I want you back around. I'm sure there are a lot of people around here that feel the same way. I'm sure that you have your reasons, and they probably have to do "with the principle of the matter". And you probably have a valid point. I mean the whole thing seems kind of like hiring Gregg Williams and telling him not to blitz. If you don't want to come back, just tell us why....leave a note before you pack up the kids and walk out on us...you heartless bastard.
I don't know if we need some mediation? Apologies? S'mores and Kumbayah? A Blog Hug?(OK, that was crossing the line, my bad) I need you guys to rec this a few times so if/when Stu checks it out he'll see it. I know we don't have all the facts here, but who are you blaming?

Can't we all just get along?
In my experience on this site, i have found myself shaking my head a few times thinking “in this day and age, how can people get offended so easily?”.
I am a Canucklehead…our TV and media is as prim and proper as you can get…you cant say moose doody without getting fined…but not so when tuning into the media from our neighbors to the south…you get an ass shot and a swear in a Taco Bell commercial…so how can some off color words offend? Lighten up a bit everyone…i’d hate to see people stop coming here and posting or adding insight because they may have offended someone…other than the hotly debated “cat-raping” article…i have yet to see anything that was offensive in any way shape or form…
Maybe i am thickskinned from the harsh winters…
Hope i didnt offend anyone! (Ha sarcasm intended in an amusing way)
Come on back Stu…you have my vote…

Babs's uvula who?
I don’t know Babs (or Stu), but I do know this. Anyone that cracks wise and/or makes obscure references on a football blog is A-OK in my thesaurus. Come back to Jamaica, Stu. You’re admired, you’re missed and gosh darnit, people like you.
P.S. hope my “gosh darnit” didn’t ruffle any feathers.

The internet is alive and well in Kansas...
…so please come back Stu. It felt like home with a fellow Kansan aboard.

Come back Stu!
You don’t have to be our DC, our Drew Brees of players. You just have to be a contributor. We miss you stu, it’s not the same without you around! If someone has his email, they should email him after alot of people have commented to show him that he is needed.
Superbowl bound!!!...I hope? Go Saints! :D

Hey,
what do I know?
It’s not easy to be in a virtual club. The lack of face time makes a lot of people bold, rude and downright pissy (I can say that, right?). It takes a lot of self control to have self control. Maybe too much.
I hope this is a place I can escape the Yahoo!/Fox Sports/SI comment nastiness. Everyone’s here to have a good time and keep it light, right? No flash-point topics. No finger in the eye. When a party-pooper walks in all flatulent and rowdy, the party ends and people just fade away. Some try to stand up for what the group has established as ground rules. After a while, they get discouraged and move on.
I can’t cast a stone at stujo4. I have left many a chat with no intent of returning. I’m old enough to have been old enough when this world-wide webnet thing came around to not get too wrapped up in it. It’s not easy when there are so many anonymous posters out there who take great joying in picking a virtual fight.
There’s nothing to forgive, stujo4. Come on back, the first beer’s on me. If you don’t drink, the first ice tea’s on me. If you’re Mormon, make it a lemonade. We can coexist here. It just takes a little patience, tolerance and the ability to imagine we’re all in the same room.
Do you know what it means...

I just wanted to clarify the original post
I has asked Stu to not use bad language when PRIVATELY warning other members of the blog. Stu was always considerate and law abiding with all of his comments here on CSC.

is there a TMZ of blogs?
i had no idea there was this drama going on…STU, stop being a baby and come back to the ones that care about you and your saint related opinions

Come on back Stu!!!
I spent about a week back tracking all the comments leading up to stu leaving and found everthing but the warning from Dave. Stu was provoked and he took the bait. I’ll bet he didn’t say anything PRIVATELY that wasn’t said to him on CSC. Stu needs to come back but it might take Stu and Dave coming together and finishing the discusion after the heat of battle has died. Stu is a great member and needs to come back to have our old CSC family back together. Stu, email Dave and talk this over. Get it aired out, and there might need to be a discussion with stu and another party, also.
Who Dat?...... Drew Dat ! ! !

I voted for myself
obviously being the “rebel” that I am I had to vote for myself…. Saintsational’s email to myself implied that Stujo4 made parting shots directed at Dave and then left… I will say that Stujo4 used that same vulgar language that I used originally to receive the warning and amped it up several notches. I respected stu’s opinion and his comments, but as a moderator you are suppose to do exactly that “moderate”, sadly being an extremely valuable member does not mean that one should be a moderator… one needs objectivity and the ability to be above the situation.
Maybe he was a little too attached and passionate. I am sorry for my minor role in this self imposed hiatus.
This is all Shockeys fault … j/k that was what the original argument was about

I was wondering why you hadn't posted yet...
Until you revealed the take over plan.

Hey Stu
IIt’s been over a month that I manage to insert "insides" in some of my posts as how much I miss not having you around anymore. You surely noticed the same from the early bunch (TAY, Asaints, Mtn_Exile…). Therefore, it’s no surprise I’d want to add my two cents on that fanpost .
Skinnykinney suggested earlier that we should email you if we had your e-mail address but you know I have better info than that… Because of the gift you so nicely sent me a while back you know I got your home address.
Since May 17th I did a lot of soul searching evaluating the relevance of sending a letter right to your door step and try to convince you to comeback or, at least, insert a doubt in your mind regarding the decision you made leaving this blog so I could get my old CSC life back as it perfectly was. Let’s just say I had a pretty rough year and your writing would often take my mind of my torments so I’ll always be greatful for that. But you leaving in such a fashion feels like trying to drop hard drugs cold turkey way and I ain’t that good with that! Heck, I’m chain smoking more than ever!
Since the whole essence of the internet is anonymity, I decided it would be wrong for me tu use privileged information about yourself even if it would be out of true affection for you and you know they’re ain’t nothing wrong with that…
I have a pretty good idea about what happened but it’s still none of my business but I’m pretty sure you probably feel equally as pissed as sad from all that nonsense. We all know you’re a man of honor and stand by your ground. I probably could add a bit of stubbornness to that list…But just remember this: Only fools don’t change their mind…
God I miss you man….
Just get the D going!
