A Modest Proposal Concerning Post Replies
I hope Tiger fans will consider joining me in trying hard to refrain from giving fuel to aggitating, incentinary, nasty, snarky, and counterproductive posts about our team and coach. 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.

Everyone is not going to agree with you...It is how you handle that difference of opinion that makes a huge difference.

RE: A Modest Proposal Concerning Post Replies
If that means that you can't critique the coach or game scenarios then that's not going to happen.
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.

RE: A Modest Proposal Concerning Post Replies
No rule that demands that positive posts be met with equal number of negative posts.

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.
