I met wgdsr at bear week a few summers ago.....THERE.....I said it. Ask, he won't deny it. Evah since he cut past me for an easy layup. (I was the guy that nevah happened too) I used the truth, recalling this story at my Cousin's P'town condo to watch the sun set., anyway, I hadn't slept, much, saw the Dead the nite before, actually the day OF ...the game. Concert in Hampton, game in Charlottsville. So, with maybe a half an hour pregame nap, merry pranksters having their way with me.....yeah, you're not getting my A defensive game.......but, anyway, the KEY to this sad, but TRUE story....is after wgdsr scored, he ran up, kinda of gently, you know, but "slapped" me, smiled, and said, "heard you stayed well past the encore".wgdsr wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:37 pmcertainly i can do a better job of inserting the unwritten "in my opinion" to user's posts as i read them. even when on multiple occasions it doesn't read that way, but rather some sort of factual conclusion. even when those facts are wrong. and verifiably wrong.admin wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 11:10 amMD, you're spot on. There's a limit to how far a post-er can go with innuendo and otherwise and... I don't feel comfortable deleting a post-ers opinion about why a coach was fired. Even if it is seemingly unsubstantiated. It's the nature of a forum. Just one man's opinion. Taken out of context, the post is awful. But within a thread, especially a thread where others are refuting the claim, I think it's appropriate to leave it and, in the name of facilitating discussions, discussions being the heart of a forum, inappropriate to delete it.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:30 amI don't think the moderation of this site is likely to be the same as LP.
Topics are going to be much more openly discussed, opinions stated, with less concern about protecting certain coaches from critique (and not others).
It's a discussion forum, not a journalistic endeavor.
I think that's a good thing, however we need to be mindful that what is put forward by anonymous posters may or not have credibility.
in this instance, my preference is to not have to go into a reason, several or however many explanations -- as it is about the most sensitive topic possible. having it argued and posted again and again (which i typically try to leave alone until it looks like the assertions will just keep coming) isn't desirable.
so yeah. it is awful. imo. not taken out of any type of context.
given the above, it actually doesn't seem like there is a limit to how far a poster can go with innuendo and otherwise. your site, i guess.
so guess will have to take option #2 on the occasion.
Oh....we laughed and laughed and laughed. THan, watched the MOON rise......if you know what I mean
the sad part is it took so many years, decades really, to find each other again.
I DID see Jerry reffing the game, I kid you not
