I might get hacked to bits for this, but....
You have to admit that newcomers can have a tough time on this board if certain people don't like their attitude. Most of the time it's bang-on, and weeds out those "trolls" that come calling from time to time (I still remember the rash of first-time posters we got last spring during the Final Four - yikes!).
But sometimes, some of the veterans here come off like they have nothing to learn, and those that don't agree are sometimes cast aside or dismissed.
I agree with Tony's basic argument....the discussion over the last while has disintegrated a bit. But don't y'all forget to look in the mirror from time to time, too.
I love reading this board, I've never been steered wrong when I've come forward with a sitch or interpretation, which I appreciate. But it's up to ALL the people in this fine community to make things work like we want them to.
Just my $0.02 (about $0.0178 in Magic Padgett Bucks
