Just goes to show how easily it is to misinterpret the written word.

Another case of easily written words that are easily misinterpreted.
One might think that you have just impuned the integrity and tarnished reputation of one or more people on this board, including me.
One might think that your last words are more damaging and more mean-spirited than what has been written in this and many other threads on this board.
One might think that there is a double standard where the "anointed few" have a permanent Get Out Of Jail card. The same sins are percieved differently based on who commits them.
If a rookie were to have made the mechanical mistakes or was quoted, I find it hard to believe that it would be just swept under the carpet. Think what you may about the purity of this board. My perception is that the majority of the posts on this board are critical of imperfections in the spirit of learning from other people's mistakes.
The only real sin is to criticize those who are above reproach. This includes on the field as well as on the message boards.
The effect is that the board is now clearly polarized. I have enough personal demons to deal with. I do not have the capacity to post messages under a black cloud.
