What's wrong with you, MTGRZ and PhxGriz? There is absolutely nothing wrong with PlayerRep and my post. PlayerRep was just joking about a friend of his, and I was just posting a cool family picture. God forbid we know and like people.
I think the issue is that a previous post alluded to the looks of his mother, and then another post said, "Pics or STFU."
I'm just commenting that it is creepy that someone had a picture of his mother that they could post so quickly, and with the intent of acknowledging her physical appearance. Look, I'm not trying to be the PC police; but I think it is in poor taste to talk about the physical appearance (good or bad) of a parent of a student athlete. I understand PR knows her, and his post was a joke. I am not commenting about his post;
this is about the "Pics or STFU" and the response with a picture.
Without the context that previous posters established, there is nothing wrong a cool family picture. But....there was an established context related to the appearance of his mother. And as I stated before, I think it is in poor taste to discuss a family members looks on an online forum.
:lol: It took all of 15 seconds to google a pic, welcome to 2018.
And you READ WRONG about my intent. I was never once said one word about his mothers appearance, good or bad. All I did was post a cool family picture (listed who was in it), and talked solely about Braxton (like I have done a lot) and his Father.
Alright friends, let's finish this. IntuitiveGriz, I feel there is a great deal of miscommunication regarding your post of the Hill family. I feel it is in poor taste to post a picture of a recruits mother when her physical appearance is being discussed. So here's the catch: I don't think you meant to post the photo in regards to the previous post commenting, "Pics or STFU". I don't think you meant to objectify her. I also don't think AZ meant for somebody to actually post a picture of his mother. PR's post about her appearance was apparently done as a joke. This entire fiasco of a thread hinges on the misconception that the picture you posted was in response to the "Pics or STFU" post.
Like you said, you were just posting a picture of their family. It is an innocent picture; and under almost any other circumstance, there would be no negative result of posting it here. However..........because of the previous posts regarding her appearance (Again, I don't think those previous posts were intended to ACTUALLY objectify her based on appearance) and your subsequent post of the photo, one could make the connection that your post was in response, and you were trying to display his mother's physical appearance. You have said that your post was NOT in response to those earlier posts regarding her physical appearance, and I believe you. It was confusing because you quoted them in your original post of the family photo.
I get that misunderstandings happen, and it is very easy to misread or have some form of miscommunication in an online forum. A little civility and clarity also always helps. Cheers, and have a great Sunday.
