Message: [QUOTE="Bonpland, post: 2573315, member: 6000"] It's unfortunate that you have decided to not stay involved on the board. As others have pointed out this is a very fair place for those of us who spend too much time thinking and talking about UCONN wbb. Your described age, experience and knowledge sound as if they parellel my own and I'll admit that the occasional challenging response that I have received that I considered to be unfairly aggressive I initionally found to be disappointing if not insulting. (I once made what turned out to be an inaccurate prediction about KLS' future roll as a Huskie and one of the responders asked "whether you know anything at all about basketball? Hardly a scathing rebuttal but a little insulting none-the-less.) When the rare combatative comment has been made pointing out my limitations as a wcbb analist I've found it best to just take a breath and remember what a good group of posters there are that make up the Boneyard. When the occasional poster wanders into offensive territory the moderators generally pull them back or if need be just close the thread. I read the Boneyard everyday because this is where I learn about what's going on in wcbb (and in some very good off-topic threads) and that in the end Boneyarders tend to be a generous and understanding group. Leave the board if you really find this to be an unfriendly environment, but if you want to keep up with what's going in Storrs and elsewhere in the world of wcbb than this is the best and most tolerant place to be.
