2010 recruit question

[HoopsMalone]

I think Malone is just suggesting that Buzz focus on the future.

Thanks.  That is exactly what I was saying and I could have inserted an only so it said "start only recruiting for..." but I think the gist of it is pretty obvious.

These types of little zingers throw off good discussions and accomplish nothing.  If someone has the amount of posts I have, then it is fairly obvious that I have at least seen Dawsen or Tokoto threads.  Number of posts doesn't predict the quality of posts, but it should suggest that you have been on here.  Scrutinize what I or other posters say all you want.  Keep the context on basketball please is all I ask.  I find it very distaracting when people nitpick little stuff or make personal attacks on other posters. 

I don't think message boards should be about proving your intelligence or tossing meaningless zingers back and forth.  It is not my message board and people should do what they want.  If you want to throw zingers, fine.  It does mess up threads for the people who just want to talk hoops and Marquette in my opinion, but I will live with it.  I just don't want to be a part of the distraction, so please nitpick other people.

It is June and there is not much to talk about I guess.

+1.  The arrogance by some of these posters is incredible at times.  At least you don't get "worst post of the year" comments.  It's ok to disagree but what is the point of making statements like "you don't have a clue"  when there was no personal attack at all in the first place.

I believe the Boo-hoo Choo-choo departs at 3, shall I punch your ticket now or when you board?

These aren't clever zingers.  I don't criticize other people's back and forths because I guess people come onto message boards for other reasons besides just talking about MU and basketball.  All I am saying is that there are people on this board who just want to talk about the topic at hand.  The people who feel the need to prove their intelligence or wit through zingers mess it up for the people who just want to discuss hoops.

I disagree.  You used the word start, and got called out, then you spent the next 3 posts whining about people jumping on people.

Let it go man, it is all in fun... its the effing internet for God's sake.

In the end we are all on the same team.

Im just making a point that there is no point in nitpicking people's posts.  No one re-reads his or her posts for spelling or grammar.  It throws off the flow of the conversation, and I know that I am doing it now, but it's June and I have been so sick of this since I started reading this board.  People come on this board for lots of reasons, and I can appreciate people wanting throw zingers out there.  But some people just want to talk hoops. 

And yes, it is just the effing internet for God's sake.  That is all I have trying to say all along.  It is all supposed to be fun and it usually is, people just don't need to be a-holes if we are all on the same team.  I can handle zingers, but they lead to tangents this one and it ruins it for everyone. 

And again, I appreciate the irony that I am hi-jacking a thread in order to complain about people hi-jacking threads.  I apologize for that, but I just want people to be aware that not everyone comes onto this board for the same reasons.  I respect anyone's reason, but would like to see less threads killed with pissing matches.

I agree, people just need to let stuff go like you said and I have thought that for a long time.  I don't think I am the one who needs that lesson.

A raging clue??

HA!  It's huuuuuuuuuuuuge.

You realize that *you're* the one that completely derailed the thread, right?  All because you're making a big deal about a silly anonymous comment on the internet.  Just ignore it if you don't like it.  No reason to derail threads with your rambling.

Thing is, the subject of Hoops' post is legit.

The "hard guys"--pun intended--on this board, any board, just kill me.  Do people give you an "attaboy" privately when you zing somebody?  Does it elevate your mood?  Is there some sort of tough guy award given to the most abusive posters?

People say "it's just the internet--deal with it."  I'm like Malone.  I'd rather not.   

[NersEllenson]

Tough crowd today - As Malone pointed out..with 800+ posts, he's likely very well aware that we are recruiting Tokoto, Dawson, etc..so he is aware that we've already been focusing on 2011/2012.  Though he did say "start" focusing on next year, we are really nitpicking the dude's post.  I read it as instead of trying to sign another 2010 player, lets focus on all the talent available for the 2011 class (and save the scholarship)..versus (spending the schollie) on the limited talent supply left currently in the 2010 crop.

Ahh..the off season..

great pun!

if you don't like it, the ignore button is right there for you.

It doesn't elevate my mood, and expect it back from people on the board.  Unlike others, apparently, I can handle a nice ribbing.

I'm sorry from now on, no more jokes, just straight information.... HA!

The only comment I have is that the 2010-2011 season is the future.

No one wants to end good spirited humor.  I probably should have let your train comment go as it was funny.  It just allowed me to make a broader point about people acting tough on the internet and nitpicking posts for grammar.  It is very, very, very annoying. 

There is a big difference between a good natured ribbing and being an a-hole though.  Jokes keep the thread flowing and add to it, while being an a-hole hi-jacks the thread and adds nothing.

I can agree with that.

This is very good news.  Do you say this based on information you heard, other than the comments on Davante's Facebook page?
