Atleast I learned something in LIT 213. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that... And I believe if the mods show people the consequences of their actions... things may change. Maybe a couple temp. bans will change things, who knows... In athletics... as a player and a coach I find that sometimes you need to make an example out of somebody... In my college baseball days I got benched for a game because I missed a team meeting... A lot of the Alumni was upset because it was a big game against our biggest rival... I was the starting shortstop and our number 3 hitter... we lost the game, ironically on an error by the shortstop that replaced me for the game. I didn't cry about it... I knew an example was being made of me. Because my coach told me... "You're going to be an example for everyone else... on the field and off the field... and this is a perfect oppertunity to use you as one." So, I guess what I'm saying is... Sometimes benching the best player sends the best message......... I learned my lesson, and no one else missed a team meeting without a good excuse... But I also think some people here need to see that we're trying to move toward a more conflict free forum... not a restricted forum. I don't think anyone is saying you can't talk about what you want to talk about... Just that sometimes threads are being turned into nothing but off-the-subject joke fests... that really aren't needed. Especially when someone comes to this forum to ask questions and the question is completely ignored... It IS dissappointing. I'm just putting in my comments... not that my opinion was asked for or that it matters... I feel like everyone should do their own part to make this forum work the way it should... Think before you post and we shouldn't have any problems...
