Message: [QUOTE="Lurker, post: 3354822, member: 3787"] When I first started posting years ago (under another name), [there was] an aura on the BY that sent me into lurker mode (with my current name) with little posting, but staying logged in so I could enjoy my favorite insightful and thoughtful posters like Diggerfoot, Nan, UCMiami, Java, and the witty humor of JS. Then about 1.5 years ago what seemed like a lot of REALLY unreasonable expectations and harsh comments by some posters towards 18-21 year-old kids; disrespect towards fellow posters; and BY status seeking led me to feel the BY was (for me) more draining than energizing, and I didn't like myself getting drawn into that. I still love the team and games live and on TV, and I am so excited about next years recruits. I now check into the BY to learn info since it's a great source, but I tend to not let myself get wrapped up in threads now. OK, that's my story, I'm going back to lurking.... [/QUOTE]
