What's ironic is that so many of you decided to condemn Cobra for doing exactly that. Just sayin'....

He also moved into the area of trying to tell everyone else what to post and not post.

I don't know - I just think he was expressing some valid frustrations about certain poster's (arguably) neither funny nor on-topic posts. I happen to share his opinion about those posters, but I would never complain out loud because of exactly what happened in this thread. I don't want to argue about what people should or shouldn't post - that's futile. There are moderators for that. But expressing some frustration over some of the Billy Mac and Padgett posts is valid, in my opinion. If people can pile on chseagle, why not the others? Sure we can put people on ignore. But we also should be able to express some frustration, as other people with higher post counts do all the time.

I don't mind BillyMac and Padgett, though. They actually post about officiating from time to time.

I'm serious on the court. The day this place becomes "serious" all the time is the day I probably quit coming here.

Some people's posts bug me more than other's. I'm sure everyone has their own tolerance level. And I agree that there is a place for the friendly banter and funny commentary. I just think it's fair for someone to post their opinion about it and not have to be told to leave if they do. It's a public forum and I think the moderators do a fine job of keeping this place a great place to get officiating information. Cobra can't dictate what people post any more than you or I could. My only point was that there was a quite a bit of irony in the way many people responded to what he said.

Happy Holidays Boys !!!!!!

Rich - you are right on. Have had some great dialogue with Billy Mac concerning IAABO up in Connecticut.

If I ever have to be completely serious on this site then I am gone.

BTW - 5 overtimes in a D II game last year.

Free throws attempted total = 93

Fouls combined 68

Coaches were quiet as church mice in the OT's !!!!!!!!!

They probably had no voices left and were looking for oxygen masks.

Hey? My posts off topic posts deserve criticism. Lots of criticism. Please leave Mark Padgett, and chseagle out of this discussion. Mark Padgett is the comedy king of the Forum. chseagle is ... uh .. let's see ... chseagle.
