Fun Forum
From JRutledge: "Then there would be only two people on the board and that would not be much fun now would it? Peace"
JRutledge: I agree. This Forum would not be as much fun and would probably be rather boring, however, I have a few reasons for wanting fewer impolite and confrontational threads and posts.
First, I would like people, not just officials, to act in a polite, civil manner, even when they stongly disagree with each other. I hope and pray that those Forum members who use a lot of impolite and confrontational language, do so because of the anonymity or the internet, and that they would, hopefully, be more polite, and civil, in a face-to-face, "real world" disagreement situation.
Also, I have found that impolite and confrontational language on this Forum often leads to more impolite and more confrontational language, which leads me to my third reason.
I value this Forum as an educational tool to help me improve my officiating. I waste lot of time "cutting through" the impolite and confrontational language on this Forum to get to the reason I visit this site every day, to educate myself and to improve my officiating.
P.S. Have you noticed that this Forum has gotten more polite and civil since Old School stopped posting?
