I get, and appreciate, your peacekeeping volley, however we know that there are student athletes, potential student athletes, students, fans, faculty, and administrave personnel that read these boards without posting or making themselves known.
How can any of our voices be heard and/or taken seriously when there are people posting hateful rhetoric? That would make me immediately discount all of the quality ideas and beefs that I read here as it is hard to take seriously an A-hole, or those that surround him/her, who can't make a point without deprecating others (rightly OR wrongly) .
Packing up my soapbox now. Couldn't stay silent. Won't stay silent.
