Not allowing someone who gets off on being an "insider" to simultaneously be a Mod of the forum where he spreads his info would be a good start.

There's too much of a conflict of interest and he shouldn't have the power to ban those who call him out.

You are correct, it isnt a good scenario when a poster who consistently puts out contentious information also has ban power.

Now, can you admit that your posting yesterday, taken in a vacuum, may have warranted a brief timeout. The repeated calling out, the attempted doxing, the repeated demands to know if he played football / if he was whatever player you kept harping about and then restarting everything in the "let's move on" post?

As someone who just showed up yesterday, it came off a little melty and over the top to be honest.

He banned me and my last post on the Bama board is actually me saying "I'm bowing out."


Me - "I'm bowing out."

Boz - "I've tried hard to move on. Enjoy the break."


Jesus, just look at that thread you linked. The guy says "I've tried hard to move on", but he starts the thread...which again, anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows is just going to invite more comments and discussion.

He starts off the thread saying, "I’m done responding", but guess who kept responding on every page, including the latest on Page 6.

He refused to admit he was wrong and got called out. Instead of then admitting he's wrong he continued his lie. If me being persistent warranted a ban, oh well.

Guy is spreading bullshite about Tua and his family. That seems far more inappropriate than me calling him out.

See how can you demand Boz admit fault if you refuse to?

The peanut gallery saw your first few posts and then saw Boz's response and then can make up their own mind. It's the repeated harping, IMO, where you deserved a slight timeout.

Yes because he stands by his "info." His info changes 1000 times in three days and yet he won't stand by what he posted three days ago. "Final" verdict on Xavier is he's coming back. That changed. "85%" chance Wills is coming back - that changed. Tua and Ruggs are a package deal and they're coming back - that changed and it's the fault of Tua's dad and no one else.

As stated above, he locked the other threads and then started a new thread to keep it going. He didn't squash it - he promoted its continuance.

I mean if you had ignored that move on thread and not continued harping on it in that thread it probably wouldn't have continued in that way.

You know you were trying to antagonize him, which is fine, but you weren't banned for just calling him out

I have no issue with you. I realize I didn't let it go but I also realize the explanations Boz gave weren't good enough.

The issue I have now is how he's putting out there a narrative about Tua's family which seems misguided and made up. I'm sorry but when you've been as wrong recently as Boz has been over the last week, it's hard to put stock in anything that is said.

Tua was a hell of a player for Alabama. The day he declares, he doesn't deserve rumors being spread of Galu controlling him and his decision. And for what, so some old dude can claim to have inside info? That's really a pathetic approach.

Boz kept responding to him as well, if we’re being fair. If it’s unacceptable for one, it needs to be unacceptable for both.

An adult should be able to ignore someone on an online message board without taking away the other’s ability to post.

Did AHM take it too far? Maybe, but Boz didn’t do himself any favors by replying and thus letting it continue.

it appears he thinks its his personal forum. Chicken needs to ax him and elect another maybe more than one. I havent posted on the Bama board in years. Id probably get a ban right away

Boz definitely didn't do himself any favors and would ideally have ignore it but, to me AHM, seemed to be more escalating the situation. But i don't have any issues with AHM just killing time while contractors are at my house.

Also, maybe we can find some other people who are willing to be the moderator and vote or get someone to change it or however. Then have a mass pardon of true bama fans back to the board to start the whole board with a clean slate.

AHM isn't the only one who was banned. Many others have been banned, myself included.

There is 1 common denominator in it all, and he refused to take any responsibility for what happened to the board. Instead, Boz blames everyone else for what happens.

If so, who?

I do not get the whole thing tbh. Worst case scenario, at least some fans were entertained. Best case scenario, you got a behind the scenes or maybe behind the paywall look.

Seems kind of harmless to me, tbh.


I was banned because I pointed out he was full of shite on his Golding rumors. He tried to paint it off as if the reason our defense wasn't up to par was because Golding was a lazy, goofy slob that wasn't putting in the effort.

I pointed out the logical fallacies in his rumors and that I had a hard time believing that Saban was going to keep such a person on staff. Saban, who fired Lane Kiffin the week before the national championship game, is going to allow such a person on staff? frick no.

He's not fit to be a mod.

Stop lying to people AHM - you know you has said you were bowing out several times and continued with your crusade.

If you cant be truthful about your posts how can you expect Boz to be?




Nothing AHM did deserves to be banned. Just because Boz is a mod doesn't mean he has the right to force people he doesn't agree with out of the conversation.
