[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 630651, member: 195"] First of all, let me admit up-front that I don't claim to be perfect in following my own suggestions here. However--and some may disagree--this forum developed a real bad form over the last couple of years which I would encourage us to try and avoid. I'm going to start with two suggestions. I may add more later, but I also encourage others to add their own suggestions or to disagree with mine. I put this in the football forum because I'm concerned especially about discussions in the football forum during our time of transition. 1) Let's try and focus on what is being said in our conversations, not on who is saying it or why we think they are saying it. [INDENT]For example, if someone posts an opinion about the play-calling, responding with one's own opinion about the play-calling is appropriate while responding with accusations of being a CPJ fanboy who is just lurking to hate CGC and is enjoying GT losing is not. Similarly, if someone expresses an opinion that they like the guys on the sideline being able to have fun and that the sideline excitement is ultimately adding juice to the team on the field or whatever, responding with one's own opinion about this behavior is appropriate while responding with accusations of being a CGC fanboy who doesn't mind GT losing to an FCS team because they have their preferred coach is not. [/INDENT] 2) Let's try to be consistent in the standards we use in assessing our team's performance, especially during this coaching transition. [INDENT]For example, if you only looked at results and ignored issues of injuries or of player focus and execution when assessing our team's performance under CPJ, then don't use those issues in defense of CGC. Similarly, if you defended CPJ for particular losses by citing issues of injuries or of player focus and execution, then don't ignore them when discussing CGC. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
