Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2117099, member: 37"] And I'm disturbed you're just noticing this trend. This has been going on since ..... forever. Head bang And I'm disturbed you're doing what you want us not to do - telling us how to do it. Now I'm busting your chops and personally agree with your premise. However it seems obvious to me most of us are set in our ways and will continue to act accordingly. I think the bigger pattern that creates the trend you find disturbing is how people react during adversity. In the particular case of this forum it's how people deal with negativity such as bad seasons or shocking losses. Two things happen during bad times. First more people feel the need to express themselves and second the bad situation bubbles into our emotions resulting in more expressed negativity. We become thin skinned, argumentative, entrenched, repetitive, subjective, insulting, demeaning, looking for scapegoats and so on. This happened after the George Mason loss, the 2002 season and the 2010 season. It happens after a disappointing recruitment, a player having a bad game, players not developing, being on the wrong side of CR, the NCAA treatment of the APR and so on. I love the opinions of people. I love this forum. You can garner a lot of knowledge about the team, about players, about many subjects. There are a lot of informed individuals here. And you can learn a lot about humanity from what people post, how they express themselves and how they handle situations. Here's something to consider. Many of us believe it's easier to change someone else rather than change ourselves. What can be more ridiculous than that? [/QUOTE]
