There is way to much sarcasm on this board in general. It takes a way from the credibility of the board and really makes the posters sound like idiots. Let's try to be adults here... otherwise they have kiddy forums for the all of the wise guys to goof around in.

Lighten up Poppa. -- BU Guy, 15:19:46 05/01/03 Thu
With all of the bogus over-hyping nonsense and catfights we get from some of the posters on this board, i find it hard to believe a little witicism is so bothersome to you poppa. when someone suggests (with tongue planted in cheek) that sean may or gerry mcnamara even knows that the AE schools field basketball teams, I am required by my sense of sarcasm to respond in kind.
this is a sports message board. lighten up. we're not discussing ways to improve the world or boost the economy. we're primarily discussing basketball, a game!
my job is simply too stressful for me to care whether or not you appreciate a friendly witty barb here or there. i read this board to relax, escape and unwind for a minute or two during my busy work day. if you want to bitch about something, why don't you complain about some of the petty rivalries and outrageous over or under-hyping of recruits from the loveable (most of the time) cast of characters on this board. as for me, i'm fine with it all. it makes my day a little more entertaining, even most of the b.s. posts, because the authors are usually hammered by other, more knowledgable posters.
Credibility? Who are you concerned may be peeking in on this board and being disillusioned by a potential lack of credibility? This is a message board, not a newspaper. I am an average basketball fan, not a hoops guru or analyst. I don't pretend to be an insider. Some posters on this board are more knowledgable than others. It's simply up to the reader to decide who's credible and who's not.
There is way to much sarcasm on this board in general.

Too many people on this board are stressed out!!!! When some one goes off the deep end HYPING someone the other people on this board should just chuckle, and make their rebuttal.
The only thing that irks me (a little) is when people blast athletes and have no cannon fodder to back it up.
This board should be a way to share some hoop talk and relax. I hate to tell most of you guys but our opinions don't really count for much. The results are in the pudding, let's wait and see who can play and who can't. Remember the players aren't hyping themselves.
Bottom line enjoy yourself and keep in contact with what's going on in the AE.

Is this some of that much needed humor the board needs or are you really Professor Irwin Corey?
