Just wanted to give you a shout out for the civil and decent manner in which you post here. Based on my recent thread viewings, that seems to make you an exception to the general rule on OB. You are a rare commodity regarding the reasonable way in which you respond to others/visitors. I thank you for your good character. There are many others too that post similarly.
I'm not trying to get banned here but the qualities I attribute to you above do not appear to be embraced and encouraged by board leadership. That's not to say my opinion is accurate in this situation. There is a great deal of foul/impudent language in a rival's postings such as the Mayfield workout thread that is at the very least - through their indifference and inaction - seemingly condoned by the mod(s). And, it is not just in that thread. It seems fairly pervasive from what I read. Guess there are no board rules that addresses such ill demeanor.
Not that Orangebloods has to be similar to the Scoop but the Scoop has shown the door to those who interact with the incivility that is routinely displayed here. They have a much superior product now for regulars and visitors, imho.
I know, I know. As a visitor, I don't have to read or post here. That would normally be the refrain for my perceived insolence. After all, it's so easy to dismiss an outsider and their expressions.
Don't know what the general purpose - present and future - is for this site. As for me, I enjoy the reasonable and civil expressions of ALL who post. I prefer to give value to responsible, respectful and well-articulated perspectives. Guess that would apparently make me an oddity here.
Again, kudos to you outhereincali for your restraint, real and positive postings. You and others encourage responsible discourse unlike some here.
Just saying.
