This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I find this position to be preposterous by JHND
To evaluate the quality of a policy, look at the results. The policy put in place by Jack allowed extensive files of complaints to continue to be accrued about >50 coaches with USA Gymnastics, with nothing being done about any of them. It treated almost all accusations as hearsay. It made unaccompanied treatment of minors by said doctors with laundry lists of complaints against them mandatory, with punishment being levied if any complaints were made.
These are not the hallmarks of a good sexual assault policy that simply wasn't being followed.
Moreover, your assertion that your fellow alumni would be defending Swarbrick instead of vilifying him if the football team were performing better has been discussed here repeatedly. It's enormously insulting and completely incorrect.
