johnbj14 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Can't we all just get along? It's summertime, we have a coach who cares about the school and putting SLU on the map, and we're half way through the work week. Just close/merge the thread and move on. I welcome all new posters, because everyone was there at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 5 hours ago, dennis_w said: all i did is say write down these rules so we dont waste time with this useless back and forth banter There was no back and forth. He made a post and another poster made a statement about how we normally do it here. He wasn't rude. Why wouldn't a newer poster want to know the normal procedure and then get on board? Also it isn't really a rule as much as just a way things are normally done. I really don't understand the issue or see why his (Quality is job 1) post would bother someone. The proper response after QIJ1's post would have been. Oh, sorry, I didn't see the other thread. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New or infrequent posters get treated like crap all of the time on this board....how about just thanking someone for caring enough to post some relevant Billiken info??? i mean, two individuals even went as far as to give him a "BAD POST'..... Can't disagree regarding the bad post part of your opinion. Been saying the bad post and troll designations get overused for a while now. As for who cares, the majority of long time posters care. Keeping it in the same thread makes the following of info simpler. Why wouldn't a new or infrequent poster want to know how the board normally flows and follow along?

Well, obviously not everyone sees things the same as you...think about it, you're a new visitor, you post some relevant Billiken info, the reaction to your post is it's in the wrong spot ( no thanks at all), and then two idiots respond that it was a bad post....I'm sure Father B is a smart guy and would have figured things out pretty quick, and despite the whining, his posting of his story caused no one any difficulties...if you caring souls were that concerned, you could have quietly sent him a PM and told him a better way to do it....my suggestion is to get rid of the bad post and troll comments, they serve no good purpose.....

Old guy Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well Big Bill Fan you had your demonstration of what rudeness looks like and you have kept on harping about the sensitivity issues. You have progressed to the ignore state, I hope you enjoy my absence, and feel free to call me anything you like I will just enjoy my blissful ignorance of your posts and opinions. Toots baby.

billikenfan05 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 When I suggest or refer people to join this community I always advise them to observe for a couple weeks before posting.

TJHawk Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Ok I've never seen him but I will pass along what Eric Bossi thinks of him. He compared him to a Justin Wesley with an upside. He's very raw and has a long way to go to match his athleticism. He's being recruited hard by East Tennessee State which is the level he should be playing at. I prefer the thread for one player over an 150+ recruiting thread. dennis_w likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is an unwritten rule about not having separate threads for game changing recruits this late in the year but it is totally ok to have subsequent lengthly thread bickering about unnecessary posting (mostly from guys who have over 10,000 posts)?

Look, all I did was inform you of the convention. We'd already been discussing Lok Wur in the recruiting thread. At this point, based on tradition, the expectation when we see his name in his own thread, it's because he committed to the Bills. That was my only point. It didn't have to result in bickering; others (including you, with your "blah, blah, blah" response) dragged it along. Interesting that a five-year member with only a couple of dozen posts is trying to rock the boat about how things are done in this forum. So, is it your opinion that having a thread with a recruit's name on it is going to sway his decision, such that he will commit to SLU? Is that the reason you're adamant about breaking the unwritten rule? If so, post your skeptical Father Biondi picture for me here!
