[QUOTE="Sidewalking, post: 657124, member: 4951"] Two problems with the swarm. Anyone who attempts to tell others to "shut up" "get on board" "complaining because they like one coach over another instead of being a fan of the school or program. Primarily though attempts by members to silence the opinions of others through personal attacks. That is unnecessary and childish. There is an ignore feature here anyone can use if they need a safe space from opposing viewpoints. Second problem in my own opinion is a moderator bias toward those who are strident supporters of the current coach. Those individuals have to go far outside of bounds on the first problem before action is taken by moderators while it appears there is a broader approach to deleting / removing posts from those who do not support or particularly care for the current staff or make criticisms of same. Bottom line. There is an ignore feature that members should use if they don't like the content of particular members on any point. The moderators should encourage use of that feature rather than sanction or silence debate. Opinion from a sidewalk fan that doesn't honestly spend a ton of time here. But enough to see some odd behavior. Probably typical among most fan bases. And typical of society today with movements toward silencing opposing speech. [/QUOTE]
