Probably not good to compare behavior at a Duke volleyball game to basketball. Basketball games sell out and the behavior of an individual barely stands out. Most Duke volleyball games, especially in the time frame just before this post have an attendance in the 500 to 800 range. One Duke volleyball fan yelling negative comments about one Duke player, especially if he's apparently sitting near where players' families sit, is going to really be noticed. I'm not suggesting it should be illegal for a fan to do that. But perhaps it's not the smartest thing to do. "Hey, I'll sit near the families and be, most likely, the only Duke fan in the building, berating the home team. And then, after I get the stink-eye from some of the parents, I'll just hang around near the players and parents after the game." Again, not illegal. Also, not smart. What's really stupid is posting the same thing over in slightly different words repeatedly in this thread.

KOKYU, only the second VT poster I've decided to block.
Now I'm stupid. Before I was racist. I'm whitey. white privilege, white entitlement, white this, white that, white, white, white.
Since I'm blocking you, I guess I'll miss it when you start describing me and anyone else who agrees with your viewpoint on this as 'crackers' or 'honkies.'
For me, an added bonus will be not seeing your trolling posts totally lacking in substance in many of the threads that are actually about volleyball.
If I'm going to take suggestions on race relations, and god knows we could all probably use some, it sure won't be from a trolling, name-calling, holier-than-thou, flame-thrower.

"Not illegal, but not smart" implies his getting banned wasn't undeserved, now that's some real holier than thou s.hit. You watched Oregon Stanford match last night, Sundy and Karch were laughing about the Hodson hecklers. They didn't say well her parents might be watching on TV they may be real fragile constitution like huskyvball or tomclen and get offended so we should ban them from the arena and campus afterwards. Like I care if you block me, falls right in line with blaming touchline for getting banned. The world's economy, environment, and energy are in more serious trouble than you can fathom, yours and many others blinded bubble will be popping in the near future. Can't handle a vocal fan (or my posts), admonish him for getting profiled, good luck dealing with real life when it hits.

I'm always a little suspicious of the "victim" of some type of punishment crying foul. More times than not, when all the facts come out (and that won't happen here), I usually walk away feeling the "victim" deserved what he/she got. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Not making a judgment here, but that is the case probably nine times out of ten. I am trying to understand your point of view, so please correct me if I am wrong.. are you saying that 9 out 10, victims are to blamed for what happened to them? There's different ways of saying it: Nine times out of ten, law enforcement is right/did the right thing. Nine times out of ten, the "accused" (maybe a better word than "victim" as that is confusing), did what they are accused of. Nine times out of ten, the accused, is guilty as charged. I used the word "victim", because the one accused of wrong doing plays the victim card themselves. Hope I cleared that up.

State your opinion, just don't fabricate statistics to support it. If you actually knew how to follow along, you'd see that I stated it was my opinion in my original post. You'd have to not be lazy though to catch that.

Well, that is totally different than the original statement you made, glad you reworded the whole statement I understand, and that's why I clarified/elaborated. But the come along lately posters trying to say I was trying to pass off the "nine out of ten" comment as "fact" clearly did not follow the thread. In my comment prior to this one, I stated that it was my opinion that nine out of ten..... Since when are "facts" used here, LOL? In my opinion, 99% of things posted here are peoples "opinions".

It's my opinion that you are close to reaching @dumas level. And that's 99% bad.
