A dead-end thread to remind everyone that as the preseason gets underway that:
1) Players, HS/College/Beyond, read this hellhole of a forum (#6).
2) Parents of players read this hellhole of a forum (consistently confirmed).
3) If you want to have a productive conversation, try the following:
3a) Don't write like you just snorted coke in your local dilapidated (fill in the blank).
3b) Don't feed the trolls (how to spot a troll below).
~~***Written voice may indicate any of the following, and then some: narcissism, god complex, inferiority complex, superiority complex, extreme bias, targeted hate***~~
3c) Source your sh!t!! If you can't embed, just copy/paste! We don't need fake news to add to the rumor mill that actually has some decent substance more often than not.
3d) While there's no objective truth, at least ~try~ to be objective.
3e) <runon> Opinions are cool, but they tend to be better received if they don't make an arse of you/your (user)name and don't take a potent poo over a player who is, shocker, human like the rest of us strange internet lurkers (but better at volleyball and in shape). </runon>
3f) Remember, if you actually have a registered account here (not counting that sketchy L. Barnes account, wtf was that), you likely love (or at least care about) this sport. Or you have no life... probably both (me). Since we're limited to a classic forum that promotes anonymity, let's all remember that unfortunately, our shi++y (or brilliant? You decide) posts also represent the sport. Let's be a wholesome fandom, not a rabid standom. Actually, it might be too late for that.
TLDR: Be nice, try and be objective, and be considerate of other users and players. After all, we all just want you to lower your blood pressure. Peace, and here's to an exciting 2019 season~~~~~~~
