[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 79123, member: 231"] What did you say? Kidding, obviously not you. I don't want to go there in a post as such behind the scenes talk should be off-board in pm. I do mean it that I will try and resist about posting about ignoring people going forward. Threads like this bring out the overwrought views on CPJ so it does amuse me because the thread reads funny when you have a string of responses but don't see the original comment that is being responded to. Typically, I do not resort to hitting ignore until a poster has done one of the following more than a couple times: 1) Blamed the offensive system for [I]anything [/I]in a poorly evidenced or reasoned manner. I appreciate this offense for one simple reason: so frequently a play seems to have been defended well and "blown up" and then I check the yardage and go "oh, we actually got 3-4 yards." This is psychologically [I]comforting [/I]for a Tech fan who suffered through the offensive woes of some past staffs. I don't care what offense a coach runs all that much. But [I]this [/I]offense has been the primary culprit in losses [I]far less[/I] than the other two units in the CPJ era. That is enough for me to leave "the system" alone. 2) Made negative comments about a current player or kid being recruited in a manner I think goes too far. No matter who the coach is at Tech we do not get many semi-pro 4-5 star "paid" (wink-wink) amateurs who will not have to bust their backsides on and off the field to compete in the ACC and the classroom. These kids are always the [I]future [/I]of the program. The future of the program is not the mythical second incarnation of Dodd just waiting to be hired when a current coach is fired. Eric has built this site by his efforts to be a positive point of contact for high school coaches and players. He now he has some great moderators and content providers who make this a special place for kids and their families to learn about what Tech has to offer. They also get feedback on their own game as well as see who else Tech is going after. Special things need to be treated with respect and protected. 3) Turned themselves into a "crank" or a hackneyed ax-grinder. Even if I happen to agree with the ax being ground I see no point in reading posts by peoples who turn themselves into caricatures. In all honesty, maybe most of all I [I]have [/I]to ignore some people because I am close to completing a doctoral dissertation and my brother will give me hell if I post too much. I [I]love [/I]to argue so if I don't use the ignore feature then I would get sucked into debates far more than I already do.
