Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3844193, member: 40"] Nope -- not implying that you're creating a narrative at all. Just that the board has a tendency to take tidbits like that and then to begin generally accepting some of those things as "fact." Example -- a couple of years ago, a good poster was on campus in the summer and reported on a pickup game between players. One of their observations was that Frank was pushing Gillon around, and got the better of him. Quickly that morphed into board "fact" as Frank dominating Gillon -- when in actuality, Frank was being excessively physical / getting away with stuff that would get called in games. That led to many posters to point to that information as justification for their belief that Frank was a better player than Gillon, when the opposite was true [and quickly proven when the season began].
