And this is a thousand times the problem that repetitive posting is. You've got to learn to let things go. If you don't learn to let things go, especially over something as dumb as people criticizing your posts on a fan board, I guarantee you'll be dead by the time you are 50. I'm sure there are some guys here who post just to get a rise out of you. Have you ever considered not responding? They'll probably get bored and leave you alone. . .[/quote]
If it's one person starting conflict with me that's easily ignored. If it's a huge group on the board doing it in tandem with each other with all the piling on, I'm not ignoring that. The problem only grows when piling on is allowed instead of people stepping in to say "ok enough, he's a SJ fan too just with different views than you give him a break". Thankfully, some have said similar things the past few days. Let's just talk hoops and leave the snarky attitudes behind. Not sure why that's too much to ask for some.
By the way, if our strategy really is to recruit players we know won't commit to us but maybe come back as transfers eventually does not seem like a legitimate way to recruit. It's a very rare thing from what I've seen. There are 2 reasons for the lack of recruiting results 1) lack of effort (in large part by MItch but hopefully he's actually ready to do his job now), and 2) zero results outside of 2 isolated big time wins in Mullin's tenure. I fully expect to start landing major recruits again if we prove we can be a tourney team this year. There needs to be a ton of effort and a lot of winning.
