Face To Face Or Face to Computer
From DC Ref 12: "Maybe it's just that people feel they can act differently when they're talking to a computer screen instead of a real-live human being."
DC Ref 12: Great point. I certainly hope that what you say is true. I've been reading and posting on this Forum for a few years now, and up until recently, I had trouble understanding how some of our members can function in every day society. I imagined not ever wanting to meet any of them in person, however, after your statement above, maybe these members do act differently when they're face to face with a real person, instead of being an anonomous "poster". Did you ever notice that those members who use their real names and identify their real basketball affiliation seem do get involved with little namecalling?
I find this Forum to be great source of infomation about basketball officiating. I just wish it was a "kinder and gentler forum". As Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along ?". At mass this weekend we were reminded about the "Golden Rule", "Do unto others what you would have them do onto you".
