The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Well I can't pretend to like all of your opinions on everything, but I must say that I am extremely appreciative of the repect shown to the rules the last few weeks following bad losses.

I don't think it's much to ask that you confine your comments to a few threads to not convolute the board, and you all have been very co-operative. There has also been precious little petty bickering and name-calling.

I don't know whether it's just because misery loves company, but I don't care either. We really don't have a problem with whatever you have to say as long as you respect the house rules. The staff are very appreciative of the fact that most-to-all of you have confined your comments to the post and not the individual poster... that's commendable in light of everyone's frustrations. Little golfer clap there for the whole group.

Thanks.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't know that it should be applauded that people didn't call for public hangings, cuss their heads off or attack one another personally.

That ahould be expected, normal behavior.

I think people are starting to accept that this is what we are going to get this year...it's nothing new for us anymore.

I don't think so.

I think people are learning that it's not that hard to put your thoughts in the right place and that's all that we as the staff ask of you.

It's not like people haven't had things to say or that the board hasn't been busy, it's just that the community has been respectful enough of those that are in it.

They've confined their comments to the posts and not to attacking the posters. Nobody likes to be called names, so that just leads to senseless bickering... people have been very careful to make sure they ''had a go' at what someone said... and not at the person who made it.

To me that's great. Like I said... say what you want as long as you follow rules... your ideas will never be censored here.

... and judging from some of my correspondence today... that isn't true of everywhere.

Hey Bosshog, I'm from London too! It's a small world.

Vote Joe Fontana!

Right on. There's a few people on the board from London... ironically, I met them through the board first, not in London.
