I've been under the gun lately on various topics, so I just spent about 10 minutes looking through my last 200 posts made on this forum. The reason is to try to find why people would turn their resent towards the programs I follow because of what I post.
What I found was about 125 posts commenting on volleyball across the nation, stats, ranking systems, strengths of schedules, play-by-plays and all of those were without bias one-way or another in regards to Hawaii or Idaho.
Another 45 or so posts were quick comments to Ruffda, Gorf, and a few others responding to jabs taken at me or supporting a joke made for them.
20 or so more were stupid "Yay" or "LOL" responses.
Less than 10 had anything to do with any school rivalries.
I work hard trying to keep information flowing here and keep things interesting, but commonly I get ganged up on by people with no sense of humor and no sense of self-pride or guts to stand up for what they think.
I try to make comments to make people think and participate, or in some cases for entertainment. Why are you here if you don't want to think about volleyball or the latest news and results? Most of the replies to information and news I post are bitter remarks from some potential truth harbored from past posts. Some of them are funny remarks which are entertaining (albeit at my expense, dammit Ruffda).
For the record. I am not affiliated with the programs at Hawaii or Idaho in any way except that I am one of the biggest fans of both programs. My enthusiasm for a program is my own opinion which I'm eager to share.
However, if my work is not appreciated or causing others to fall away from these programs, maybe I should go back to being like many of my critics and be a nameless, silent, worthless-except-for-my-admission-price face in the crowd.
If you are "hating" Hawaii or Idaho on my behalf perhaps you should re-examine what it was that I did that makes you "hate" the programs I love?
I respect your opinions, I don't have to agree with them. I am entitled to my opinions and no, you don't have to agree with them, either. Even if I am right.
Yes, I am slightly arrogant, it's a family trait.
