"Oh well...such is life.
" was meant to address the entire situation.
I would certainly like to see where
"The "problems" had been addressed before that thread." Everything that I read was that there wasn't a problem and that things would repair themselves in once the season started.
After starting 3 basketball threads in a two week period, only to have all 3 hijacked, I started the Moderator thread. In that thread, all I asked for was to not hijack the basketball threads. I never opposed the off topic threads. I still don't understand why that request created such turmoil or why it's been distorted into a request that all OT topics be eliminated. It was never about that.
I'm not sure why my comments are confrontational while others are considered helpful or why I'm to blame for all these folks leaving. Chuck, I assure you I won't be confrontational again and I won't be the reason anyone else leaves.
I am done.
