    Well IIRC a mod was trying to goad rdavies into calling him a liar which rdavies wouldn't and didn't do. And the mod must have been frustrated that rdavies couldn't be goaded into it and then abruptly banned him and also deleted and destroyed the evidence. Why would they do that if they weren't guilty of something?

    Maybe the archive.org Wayback machine has a screengrab of the exchange, I'll see if I can find it. But it's really none of my business.

    While I liked rdavies (still do) and want him to return; the issue was that he was asked to drop a subject, but rdavies choose not to - if anything it actually got worse.
    The favourism towards a certain poster seems to be slowly coming to a halt. Once it finally does I think this forum will be in a good place.

    Sounds like a job for the FBI or the OPP, the former is trying to get that wayback machine to chase all of Hilary's deleted government emails from her personal server, while the latter has supposedly been trying to do the same with the McGuinty and Wynne's govt emails and messages regarding the cancelled Gas plants and the Pan Am games expenses. I think those issues are a bit more pressing than some TFC fans taking a hissy feet because he wants taxpayers to pay for his friggin playground for just him and his TFC friends.

    I like soccer, but it's nimwit TFC fans that turn me off. They can't get it through their thick skulls (must be because if they had brains, they'd realize the stadium was supposed to be used for Canadian football from day 1) that BMO was originally designed for Canadian football, as much as it was for soccer.

    It wasn't designed for both originally, but it was passed by the City on the basis that it be able to house both soccer and Canadian football.

    What do you think I meant? it was supposed to be designed on the compatibality of playing both soccer and football. MLSE was made in charge of building the facility, which is where Tom Anselmi came in as the engineer, and the city did not do their due diligence. The Endzones were never meant to be built permanently using brick and blocks but it's what Anselmi allowed to happen, even though he knew full well (imo) that a Canadian Football field would not fit.

    Personally I blame Richard Peddie. He's single handedly the reason the Argonauts/football weren't involved with BMO from the beginning. Peddie admitted that when he was negotiating with the City on the stadium he received a call from Howard Sokowlski about getting involved with the deal; of which Peddie replied no, "because there wasn't enough time for him (Peddie) to negotiate with the City and the Argonauts". According to Peddie - "They (C+S) ran out of time. Time to properly negotiate and time to come up with the money."
