Message: [QUOTE="alphaorange, post: 873087, member: 305"] I've been to the different iterations of this board for nearly 15 years. It is worse now and far more juvenile and disrespectful. I understand the social networking generation that feels everything they think, do, and feel needs to posted for all to see, but it was better when the posts had to do with team and school. It is much better when civility rules, and sadly, I have had a part in the incivility at times in the past. Dick is a great fan and a valued former poster. That so many mock his choice to not participate here is exactly why he doesn't visit. He is not the only one, by far. As longer tenured posters leave, they are often replaced with a new generation of mocking, "in your face" type of posters, who don't seem to understand that the board they are on is possible only because some of the veteran people here made it happen. As I recall, it was as an alternative to the other board where insanity ruled. [/QUOTE]
