The jumping off discussion area for the rest of the Deck. All things Lakewood.
Please check out our other sections. As we refile many discussions from the past into
their proper sections please check them out and offer suggestions.

Won't you be my neighbor?"

I don’t think Mike was teeing it up for the SLH people. I certainly wasn’t. This place used to be fun and informative. It’s not so much anymore. It’s more like a Lake Erie Monsters game. I went to one once, it was less than 30 seconds before the first fight broke out. Then it got worse. Good hockey? No way of knowing.
I don’t think I’m alone. Virtually nobody who posted five and ten years ago does anymore. I hope Jim can figure out a way of getting control without taking control. It’s surely a fine line. I guess that’s why most online forums are pretty heavily moderated.
Oh well…..
100% agree. Although everybody is invited to join in on the conversation the fact is that each and every thread is driven and steered by the same 5 or 6 upperdeckers.
Mike Deneen, before you accuse me of deck bashing. Prove me wrong. You can't because it is a fact.
And for the record. I am not saying your opinions don't matter. Not at all. I am just saying that there are only 7-8 or 9 of you that post. It's as simple as looking at the topics at any given time. Same people. You guys get so defensive when it comes to Deck.
I believe that it would be more appropriate if the clowns at city hall wore orange or black and white striped jump suits!
With alleged hospital stealing, alleged stealing and bull dozing down of Lakewood citizen's homes, alleged money laundering and alleged abuse of senior citizens, these outfits would be more appropriate.
Back to the original topic: Does anybody think there's a connection to the 'Juggalos' and the Insane Clown Posse? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo

Driving through the Metroparks today my daughter was pointing out possible places clowns could hide. So much for looking at autumn leaves. It's sad when this is what is in the minds of kids rather than the beauty of the Metroparks.
