Subject: Musketeer Madness, the roundtable and this board

After reading NJNP's post - it made me consider things I have yet to consider. Snipe couldn't handle things - got too wrapped up in all the negativity and said, "I don't want the crap that goes with running the board, I'm out!!!"

Gary is facing the same thing - he has been bombarded with posts about him and his family. He has faced lots of heat. He has now changed the board into something that it has never been - posts are now solely under his discretion to let the public see what is being said. This means that he is telling everybody what should and should not be discussed about XU basketball.

Gary prompted the creation of this board b/c I didn't like the censorship of his board and his comments about how he would like to think of an idea to charge people to be a part of discussing Xavier Basketball.

Gary, if you and the selected people that share your views about XU basketball are sick of any other viewpoints - or you are sick of personal attacks from the roundtable - it is time for you to start your own board - one that is not under the name of the roundtable. The roundtable board should be able to discuss basketball - not the boards or moderators themselves.

Gary - you have done a great job, but it might be time for you to consider stepping down as Musketeer madness roundtable moderator and taking your selected forum/people to another realm of internet discussion. It is unfortunate that you and your family were fodder for negative discussion - but you signed up to be the brunt of things as the moderator. If things got too hectic - take a break - relax and start a new board - one with passwords, and for ultra serious discussion only - let me take over - I will put up a link to your board - but let the roundtable remain open and free of censorship and unjust moderator influence.

Best regards

Pablo

[> The basis for your whole dissertation is faulty. Griff is only sick of the stupidity, homophobic language and generally immature "so's your old lady" mentality. He has never censored basketball talk if it has none of the crap interlaced into the dialogue. Griff nevers tires of hoops talk, but he does (as we all do) tire of babysitting. It's not an issue of free speech but rather "interesting" speech. Anybody can be crude. -- BigCat, 17:58:43 06/22/01 Fri
