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.
Post being replied to
I like the posters here way more than on other boards by ram
people are respectful to each other most of the time on McGraw's
On other boards, esp football, there is a lot of "quien es mas macho"
Football is the worst, of course. The Pit isn't bad except after losses when the trolls are out and the "Fire Brey" posts start
My experience is that message boards reflect the state of the team. WBB has had great success and that makes for happy, happy, happy. A board I followed for years for Giants' baseball died when they won 3 of 5 due to inactivity.
ND football fans have the most to complain about and I used to complain a lot myself. Last year, I found myself somewhat disinterested for the first time after 53 years. Kelly's long tenure has worn me down.
I like most of the posters here. So, yeah, I come here first.
