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.

Weird story… Years ago I went to Charleston for my sister’s by morrissey man
wedding. We were staying in a hotel across the street from the Citadel. I was finishing My Losing Season by Conroy about his abusive basketball coach while at the Citadel. In the epilogue he described what happened to each of the characters. It turns out his coach left the next year and relocated to Richmond, IN where he opened a restaurant. The weird part? I live in Richmond, In. So I was across the street from the Citadel reading about a guy who left the Citadel to go to my hometown. Odd. Btw, his restaurant was destroyed when our downtown exploded 2 days after MLK was killed.
