Comments like that have been deleted and reprimanded. jgalt, that would mean that the truth would get in the way of making a point, and you know we can't have that on this board! *Topping off a season of terrible on-the-court decision making with a terrible off-the-court decision. *for dajuan's sake, I seriously hope that his future doesn't much resemble vp's....eye patch and all. *Nor does he seem to have hustle, work ethic and drive to improve his game *Summers is another guy who listened to the wrong people tell him how he wasn't being showcased etc. Sad day. *I hope he likes cities like Bakersfield, Grand Rapids and others in the NBDL. Since he's apparently not on campus anymore, I guess he isn't taking Greek or Italian this semester. Maybe he got himself a Rosetta Stone. *Summers cared--inseason... Out of season and workouts--what the hell did he do? *he seemed to care more about getting to the NBA than getting to he NCAA tournament *Dajuan was a lock for at least one sloppy TO per game, and some games were downright awfule. And not just a play that didn't work, but a poor-decision, me-first, drive into 3 guys, dribble off his foot, and miss the open man TO. Those are selfish plays, IMO. Plays made by a guy who thinks his ticket out is by making the 20% play of dunking over a guy and drawing a foul instead of making the 80% play and hitting the open man. *I've never heard anything from any of them that made me think highly of the guy in terms of attitude, goals, or devotion to Georgetown. --- And these were all well after people had a chance to calm down. The original thread pertaining to Summers was deleted due to non-Summers-related rumors and there were worse in there. I took a little bit of liberty with the amount of vitriol in the message. Sue me.

How well must the rest of your life be going that you're gonna spend time whining about and/or debating the validity or sanity of the rules of this board? Wow. The rules are the rules. Follow them. Is it that difficult? I'm just glad the mods spend the time they do to provide the forum... a service I'd gladly pay for but, thankfully, don't have to. Why don't you save the mods some time and follow the rules instead of crying about them. It's their board. Simple.

We all spend a fair amount of time on this board each day, so if we think a change could make it better why not say something?

Which part of we don't make the rules is unclear?

I think the point here is this is a chat board. The primary purpose is to discuss the team and it should be kept reasonable.
"I heard Sims is transferring because JTIII picks on him at practice" is a rumor. "Fox Sports is reporting Omar Wattad is transferring" isn't necessarily fact, but it sure ain't a rumor.
A matter-of-fact report from a public sports writer and a vitriolic post from an anonymous board member are clearly different things. So yes, this should be in bounds to discuss now.

Which part of we don't make the rules is unclear? I hope and believe that the rules exist for actual reasons, and aren't some sort of arbitrary power play by the mods. If so, it's certainly within the rights of the posters to discuss the reasoning behind the rules, and possible changes to them.

"Fox Sports is reporting Omar Wattad is transferring" isn't necessarily fact, but it sure ain't a rumor. Technically, this is a fact because this is what Fox Sports reported, they just might not be reporting a fact. Just thought the only thing this thread still needed was accusations of racism and a comment on semantics. i took care of one of those.

"respecting privacy of players and their families"
Please - they're not 10 year olds. These are big time NCAA basketball players, pretty much minor league athletes. I understand protecting privacy to an extent by removing defamatory and overly personal rumors, but the transfer rules are a bit ridiculous.
