I completely disagree. The tone of this board has, since that incident, become much more respectful and civil. I'm enjoying it far more now. Some amount of jabbing and fun-making is certainly good and appreciated but there were poisonous, condescending attitudes that were just running people away and killing the comraderie that used to be here. Enough rookie posters had stated that (and left) often enough that it should have been obvious. But for some, it took a stronger message to let them know that some of their actions were not beneficial to the board (and I'm not talking about the
occassional comical image). This board is at its best when it is largely helpful and constructivley critical, when it builds friendships and when it is a community. It had become too hateful, elitist, and focused on putdowns and criticism instead of basketball with a healthy dose of good-natured humor.
