Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 3052167, member: 626"] That post was not directed at any particular person, rather at the general tenor of this thread. Lately my particular axe-to-grind, & its JMHO, has been the negativity that is prevalent on this board. Yes, its one thing to offer an analysis based on POV, opinion, etc, but quite another to consistently forecast failure, nitpick every wart, and be generally dismissive of any of our own players' chances at the next level. It's the "he can't shoot, dribble, and will never make a squad" posts that get my goat. And, again JMHO, it seems particularly prevalent amongst some in our fanbase, who almost revel in the denigration of "our" guys, whether past and present. The finality of predicted failure, directed mostly because a kid decides to leave early, is offensive and unnecessary. JMHO [/QUOTE]
