Swilly: a split from another thread.

Hey folks this an answer to something Swilly posted in another thread about a high school basketball player. I wanted to respond, to an off topic comment, but I also have a desire to see that thread die so I started this thread.

When talking about a high school aged kid on any message board I think we should observe two simple rules.

1 If you want to comment on a kid make them constructive comments, just insult or negatives do not cut

or when in doubt.

2 "If you can not say anything nice don't say anything at all"

WEARE TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL KIDS HERE NOT PRO ATHLETES. What would you like to see your son or daughter read about them on an adult message board!

I'm only a high school kid. And you have not always followed your own advice with me....

Ha.... I really got a big kick out of this! I mean you act like a high school poster, but I thought people were giving you a bad time!!

It all makes sense now.

OK let me tell you the difference:

1) I did not know you were actually that young, which kind of blows a whole in your whole theory, but we will continue.....

2) The high school kid this board was talking about, did not asked to be talked about. He was minding his own business and all of a sudden a bunch of people are discussing him on an open public board. First constructively but which quickly devolve in some very mean spirited dictions. Swilly you on the other hand tend get what you deserve. You goat people into an arguments and then when you lose you get nasty. To be honest I do not think I have had much to you in over a year. I do feel for a person who logs on to a message board see people ripping him. I do not feel sorry for anyone regardless of age who logs on to a site to pick a fight and gets his fanny handed to him.

3) The most important reason: You hide behind the annominity (as we all do) afforded us as members of EGRIZ. When we are done posting, name calling, and rumor spreading we log off our computer and go are own way. No body knows who we truly are (for the most part). No body can stop us on the street and confront us about what we have posted. On the other hand that high school kid we were talking about does not enjoy that same anominity because we all have used his actual real name.

I am 45 years old, and yes at times I have had to rethink the actions I have taken, it is part of being an adult, but in this case Swilly I really have no regrets.

IF you are indeed under 18, and IF you have hurt by the responses to some of post, then maybe you should leave this board and other primarily adult occupied boards until you are old enough to play with the big boys.
 
Mslacat,

You must be the most misinformed Egrizzer ever if you were not aware The Swillster is barely over 16. Must not be a Chuckie Cheese in Missoula yet. :thumb:

Fair enough

I dont log on to eGriz to pick fights and I think that I tend to hold my own against the this site's elders.

What is your point?

I am 45 years old, and yes at times I have had to rethink the actions I have taken, it is part of being an adult, but in this case Swilly I really have no regrets.

I was never hurt by anything you said, but unlike most of the people on this board, I dont take this shit seriously or literally. I was just trying to point out the fact you have gotten at me a couple times not knowing that you didnt know I am 17.

Some people amaze me how they take this message board thing alittle too serious
 
The previous thread must have gotten a little too rough for it to be removed. Probably a good thing at this point. I truly enjoy everyones different take on eGriz, which is what makes eGriz what it is. Whether you are an "oldster" or a "youngster" should make no difference on this forum. Keep at it guys! Go Griz! :twocents:
 
dave: good postings on observations from the tournament. i understood your postings to be on the court observations, and i understand people defending individuals. i didn't realize that green would not be back to coach anaconda next year.
