Re: No personal attacks should include the coaches as well, yes?

1. I doubt you'd find everyone agrees with you on that as your idea of a personal attack is likely different from many and certainly in degree, but I appreciate your thoughts. The world has become a wasteland of the easily offended and overly emotional.

2. Even Mo-pho catches himself pointing something he wished he hadn't, because he doesn't read. Over the years it seems most consider it approval or at least that has seemed the prevailing thought. I do +1 particulars in a post even if I might not agree with the conclusions. I value a good, reasoned argument from most any, there are exceptions as those individuals long ago lost any and all integrity in mine eye. Still I read everything and understand it's impact, it's a curse.

3. Speaking of that curse, there's very little I don't remember and if there's something I don't, it's mostly things I decide not to commit to memory for any number of reasons, usually it's baseless refuse. I'm a predator of knowledge, one of my many drugs is tireless research and study, so yes, I'm very aware of where contributors seemingly stand and their histories. Especially those here that I consider the emotionally encumbered. It's often a blessing and has served me well, but mostly it is a curse.

Healthy discussion does not include the pathos the permeates this board and oozes from too many here. Logos & Ethos should rule this world and that, but so few make those tools their standards.

Go Tigers!

Firstly, I genuinely respect the depth and thought you bring to your posts. We all have our unique ways of expressing our passion for Clemson, and I appreciate the intellectual approach you often take.

You're right; definitions of personal attacks can vary from one individual to another. I aim to be respectful in my comments and critiques, though emotions can sometimes get the better of me. I appreciate your call-outs as they keep me grounded and remind me to be more introspective.

The "Thumbs Up" system, while seemingly simple, does come with its nuances. In hindsight, there may have been times I reacted too quickly without fully processing a post. It just something to need to get better at not doing, but at 53 I doubt there is much hope! haha

Your ability to remember and Clemson knowledge truly impressive (the Monahan post was insane). While it may feel like a curse at times, it's evident that it also brings a unique depth to your interactions here. I admire that.

My emotional attachment to this university and team sometimes means I wear my heart on my sleeve. It's a double-edged sword that brings both immense joy and frustration. But, conversations like these remind me of the diverse and passionate community we have on this board.

Thanks for keeping the dialogue insightful and challenging. It's discussions like these that elevate the discourse.

Go Tigers!
