I was so impressed with a posting from OilerBuck that I wanted to give it a thread all by itself...
"it is one thing to point out an error in someones judgement. It's a totally different thing to come off as a self-righteous, know-it-all ... I have a little tip for you - being RIGHT isn't always what makes you a better man... there is something to be said for respect and humility even in victory. "
Sometimes there's too much testoserone and lack of respect in some of the postings... We can elevate this whole site with an effort to avoid name calling and personal attacks... I never belonged to BN but I have certainly gotten the impression this is what caused a number of folks to come here... Let's do it one step better...
Maybe rule of thumb could be... "if I'm a parent of a player or prospect and reading this posting .. is my opinion of OSU better or worse?" .. because at the end of the day, I believe it is the intent of ALL members to elevate OSU in the eyes of all.
Clarity and mods, you fellas are great ... but we can and should make your worlds easier.
