Or just "Rick Butler" for Chrissakes. The fact is he still coaches whether you or anyone else likes it or not. Itd be funny if admin replaced that name with something else so when you'd type "Rick Butler" something funny would replace it. In addition it would protect this entity (this forum) against any potential libel and slander lawsuits that could come up in the future. If done correctly it'd be kind of funny. I once was was on a forum that replaced the word EVOO (extra virgin olive oil, coined by Rachel Ray I think) to say something funny. When you would read a recipe that someone wrote EVOO as an ingredient it would say something kind of ridiculous. Can't remember what it actually was, sort of a minor game of Mad Libs. How could this forum be liable for slander or libel? What is it that you stated to me in another thread? That you prefer not to strike up a convo with me because I don't seem like someone you'd converse with? Well. Same.

Some "words"?: shhhhhh; sportybucky; buckysbreath; mikegarrison; tomclen; les; ay-whatever-that-number-is (don't want to ruin my dinner, searching); chowda; factometer; etc. Sounds like someone should find a new forum.

But he adds so much here, really. I mean without his obvious intelligence (you know he went to stanford right, he has only mentioned it about 50 times), his calling out of trolls (apparently anybody who either knows the game or has a difference of opinion from him) and his exhaustive research (going back to old threads) we would be lost.

In reply to the question of whether or not defamatory speech could bring about litigation against an internet page including anonymous forums-yes. A person who feels libelous activity has been perpetuated upon them could file a lawsuit on the grounds that negative and false accusations (i.e. being called a "child rapist" when perhaps there has been no legal proceedings convicting one of that or even not differentiating the fact that the case was a statuatory rape case and NOT child molestation, two very different crimes in the view of the law). The case could file against "John Does 1-20" and if one of the forum owners or administrators participated in the defamatory statements the forum itself could be sued. Because the nature of that particular big gym they would have to prove monetary and reputation losses.
The internet is not the wild west where you can do and say as you please because there have been several KNOWN instances of forum owners needing to disclose as much information as possible about the users that are spreading these words that are reputation and brand damaging. IP addresses, log in information, etc etc. Your internet use can be pinpointed to the very computer or screen you are reading right now. The forum could be libel if an administrator or even moderator participates in some of the talk.
These kind of lawsuits come up more frequently you can imagine. It does take pretty deep pockets but if the press is bad enough to cause financial issues or even emotional grief one might pursue legal action with great vigor.

If you are the future, this site truly is dead. There will be no reason at all to come here if people like you, factometer and a few others are all there is to offer.

Brand-New Late Additions/ Hall of Fame Nominees for "'Words-awards": buckysheat; duncaroo; azvb; huskerholiday; redbeard2008; boom!; et cetera (meaning ANY And ALL snipers/ trolls/ cynics/ "experts"/ resident psycho-sociopaths (esp./Particularly shhhhhhhhhh, who is in a "class(-less)" category All By himself (ten "h's" in his name? - MUST equate to the # of centimeters his "mr. happy" is long (= ~ 4-5 inches (erect)!)/ self-annointed "moral-ethical bestowers of absolute-authority" here/ snarks-of-All-stripes/ et al. It is Fascinating to witness/see such unsportsmanlike, anonymous 'Gods-on-two-feet' of Wvb CONSTANTLY attempting to diminish other-newer posters + rip the other"veterans" up. Try humor? Smh! (P.S.: your posts DON'T seem to be attracting many "likes" here: both you absolute-omniscient critics of my posts. In 190 posts, I've averaged 2-3 likes, each. Therefore, perhaps your 'highnasses' are Actually in the mire-stench of The MINORITY, maybe? NOT included in my original list: ya Earned it!

And in response to duncaroo/ to truly conclude here at VT; I have(!) found a better site; where Serious Volleyball people talk the game: with much more respect and knowledge of the sport (as opposed to the somewhat food-fight aspects of this 'forum' - 'twas suggested to me by another sincere student-of-the-game/ learned poster). THAT being said, the troll/snark-getting-called-out-and-hissyfitting-that-they-are-being-unfairly-targeted (plus-crybaby-pissing-and-moaning-about-being--actually--criticized) is ludicrous at best: and just the height of dis-ingenuousness, in reality. I first signed-on to this site to castigate some UW fans for trolling on a Stanford-Udub match thread. Said babies were outraged that discussing: 'bladder issues' of an SU libero; making disparaging comments of other SU players, & made-up "inside-scoops"; were opposed. Good riddance! One more thing: There Are some really cool, informed and quite gracious posters here. To: vbfamily, trainercdf, cruz'n, et al: Thanks! Ta Ta..

Final postscript: since I wrote the post, immediately above, a # of posters have PM'ed me; asking what is the site I found! Says something 'bout this "pit", as Wonderwarthog put it. Want to give final kudos to these posters ("et al's"): reader; ProfessorPlum; Phaedrus; oldmanvb; metoo; knowthetruth; atomheartmother; swimrowvball; Empath; dd2000; toomuchvb; thethunderbird. These WERE THE guys (+ gals?) who fully welcomed new members, such as myself; & availed Helpfulness, Empathy, plus Compassion, towards us newbies!

"Defiantly" in place of "definitely".
