Recanting my previous position

As you might have seen on McGriffs, after having a couple of days to cool off, I decided that I wasn't going to let a bunch of trolls drive me away from there, just like I won't let a bunch of heckling fans affect me at a softball game. So I'm back at McGriffs to discuss softball and ignore the trolls.

I agree it is possible to continue to have good discussions on McGriffs by ignoring the trolls (after all, I am the one who would periodically inject the "do not feed the trolls" mantra). I have come to the point, personally, however, that it is too tedious and annoying to wade through all the crap. Good for you if you can continue to tolerate it.

Here is how I rank the softball boards in "civility"

1) Official forum
2) eteamz rules board
3) eteamz coaches' board
4) fastpitch forum
5) McGriffs

Unfortunately for McGriffs, if you could filter out all the trolls, porn spam, drive by shooters, moniker stealers, etc., the regulars who would be left conduct a very civil discussion of softball rules and game situations. IOW, the board has been hijacked. Sad.
