One other idea for improving the fan base would be to remove kchoya from it. Addition by subtraction works in many walks of life and I think we have a nice fit here. He serves no purpose on this board. Sorry Dan. Pot, meet kettle... Two sides of the same coin, except you're not nearly as good at it.  Spirit, did you come up with an original thought? No, I guess not. Good work though. I'm proud of you. Wait I forgot - |

Wait I forgot - Sucks when people post the same thing on every thread. Well, it sucks to skim over at least |

Well, it sucks to skim over at least I couldn't agree more. That's why I posted the response I did. Tired of being beaten down by the board that posts the same nonsense. Attacking anyone with an opinion that differs. Thanks KG.  |

Nothing there, is that a niner?
I reached out to HiFi Gator as I guess he predates my time as he probably figured this board out before me.
He's willing to come back if you and others promise to be cordial.
Your call?

Pot, meet kettle... Two sides of the same coin, except you're not nearly as good at it. Spirit, did you come up with an original thought? No, I guess not. Good work though. I'm proud of you. Wait I forgot - Eagle, I've not seen nearly as much in the way of attacks toward you with regard to your opinions as I have with your pointed attacks at other posters. You're allowed your opinions and, as long as you back them up, I think most will discuss them most of the time though they may disagree. But when you take shots at other posters and then complain about receiving shots in return, it sort of makes you a bit of a target. I could be wrong about that but I'm a poster that has taken shots at you and you've done the same with me. That's not been the majority of our back and forth but, as far as I recall, it started with getting personal as opposed to just posting opinions. You've taken particular interest in going after kc and spirit. You should expect to get similar treatment in return. The older I get, the more I appreciate differing viewpoints. That sounds stupid and I realize that but it is, in actuality, the truth. I also recognize that I probably lean too far toward the status quo with regard to the basketball program but I also do believe that things are not as bad as some others (yourself included) believe them to be. Personally, I like the discussions and the occasional argument. It's part of the fun of being a fan to me. I'm hoping that I'm getting better at not taking shots at people on a message board that I don't know personally and that likely don't understand my sense of humor. I'm not particularly hopeful on that last part. |

I don't know where people think I have a problem getting attacked as I only talk about those others that will have an issue with it for having another opinion. And I can point you to several examples of me being attacked and I'm only defending myself. People attacking me does nothing but I think it does run others out who have an opinion and should be able to express it without these clowns circling the wagons of this board (which is way too defensive of a poorly performing program). I do appreciate your concern but I'm just here to look out for the greater good of all Hoyas and not let the likes of KC and Spirit run that into the ground with the mindless drivel they post. They really are proud of themselves for the role they play. Just go back and look at what KC did to Dr. Quigley who was clearly posting in the best interest of the program. He was an older alumni who has a right to post and was run off. He'll be back which I'm glad to see but the intention was to run him off. |

He was an older alumni who has a right to post and was run off. He'll be back which I'm glad to see but the intention was to run him off. To be honest, I'm not going to go back to see what was said to drquigley. I expect that he/she is able to fend for him/herself. If anyone gets so put off as to stop posting, there are probably larger issues going on. People are going to disagree and have arguments. It happens. You can say that I'm pandering. That's fine if that's your opinion. I happen to disagree with you on that too. I'm still puzzled by you taking shots at people and then whining about people taking shots at you without acknowledging that you're, in many cases, the one instigating it or perpetuating it. It's not your opinions that are what people are addressing. It's your approach. Continue undeterred as you tend to do. ON EDIT: Having said that, while we disagree a lot of the time, I read your posts inline because I do realize that my, admittedly, homerism isn't the only perspective or, necessarily, rational some of the time. Just because I do shade towards supportive as opposed to slash and burn, however, doesn't mean that I'm all in on all that happens and has happened. You tend to paint it that way and, with regard to my posts, it's probably fairly easy to do. But it doesn't make your coloration correct. You tend to rip me on an aversion to change without considering my explanations for why I think things aren't changing anytime soon. Those are two very different things. |

I've been attacked and all I've done is come back at those attacks which is then perceived as overly harsh or negative but some how that is whining? Not where I come from. Not worth arguing but I think the perception that I'm some how whining and looking for help against those so informed here is misguided. I've pointed out the herd mentality on this board many times but hasn't deterred me and won't - doesn't mean it doesn't exist. |
