Who knows. Knowing this place it could be about UT or UAB.

Why, did you start it?

It's a message board and criticism goes with the territory. Certainly it should be said that goes both ways. When things are going well, there will be a ton of positive posts and deservedly so. If things go bad, there will be deserved criticisms and over the top critiques.
It's almost insulting and absolutely unrealistic to only ask for sunshine pumpers and yes men. It just ain't gonna happen.

Folks are free to post as they please. My thread is a reminder to myself and others that responses by Tiger fans are optional.

IMO, it is best to ignore it and converse instead with like minded fans interested in rational and even toned discussion based on facts, sound logic, and perspective.

Please note I am not asking the Mods to modify their actions or censure particular posters. Indeed, everyone should feel free to post as they see fit (including ignoring toxic posts) and let the Mods police posts under their interpretation of the AUP.

This is by far the dumbest thing posted on this board today. That takes talent.

Right -- it's easy enough to see who the trolls on this board are.

Get what you guys are trying to say---but the idea that this should be an open forum to mock, disparage and rail on the university of Memphis because that is the equal thing to do- turns this into a Memphis area sports board instead of the University of Memphis.

None of which means constructive criticism is not expected nor even healthy.

Looks like that was all the OP was getting at- but since so many view disparagement and mocking as the same thing as opining that three popint shooting is lacking- is part of the problem. Still enjoy using the board- all things considered- but not encouraging the mocking would be an improvement.

So this IS a basketball thread....

Geoff Calkins posts here?

So Geoff was Bluebeard? It all makes sense now.

Interesting.

The usual nothing like the 4 above posts cluttering up every thread.

Thanks for adding to it.

So basicly what the OP is saying, on an opinion board, all opinions need to be the same & agree with his.
