ICC loses again- DeAaron Williams misses game

[tornado]

This board has helped me get over not seeing the Braves in person as I did since 1963. I do see 5 or 6 games before I leave. Thanks to all who make this board possible. GO BRAVES.

Chico it is you and other posters who make the board fun and possible, thanks to you.

The only board I ever had problems with was my local Board of Education.....

It's all about me.



I am a Message Board Bully.

And over 'there', I have been known to 'Flame' and one who 'Stirs the Pot'.

Are you having troubles or are you just "bored" (badda-bing)

[Dallas Brave]

For what its worth (certainly less than $.02), my take on differences of the two boards is:
- first the obvious, this board has vastly different "raison d'etre" than the other board. This board is 99% focused on Bradley (I think the name was my first clue) while the other board covers a much broader set of topics which, by design, draws a broader group of posters who may or may not place BU at the top of their love list.
- consequently, the majority of the posters on this board, whose primary interest is the well-being of the university and its sports programs, tend to voice their views in a manner that is supportive, even on matters of debate (e.g., such as who should be getting playing time, should POB have gone to the pros, etc ...). The opinions posted are grounded in the common foundation of supporting the school, its programs, and its players
- the other board, not being a Bradley Fans board, has posters who clearly are not Bradley fans and, in some cases, would prefer to see Bradley not succeed. That's fine, they are entitled to be supporters, or non-supporters, of whatever they want. As a result, the opinions on the other board represent views of people who have varying agendas and axes to grind.
- There is no right or wrong board to choose, since they do not have the same mission it is not an either/or situation. But, for me as a Bradley Fan, this board has much more meaningful, constructive, and honest (i.e., no hidden agendas) viewpoints on the subject of Bradley basketball, and topics related to Bradley basketball, which is what I am interested in. I use to post and be active on the other board. Quite frankly, I haven't been there in quite a while.

It was like the time I was 28-30. I had a school chum who had moved to New Orleans to write the great American novel. To support himself, he bartended down in the Quarter. Over a period of 2 years, I frequently flew down to New Orleans for weekends and would carouse from dusk to dawn on a regular basis. On about the fifth trip, I realized that many of the aspects of the city, primarily the nightlife, that I had originally thought of as charming, exotic, and adventurous were really dirty, in disrepair, and of questionable morality. I don't go there much anymore either though I still party.

OK, I'll get off the soap box now.

.... really dirty, in disrepair, and of questionable morality. I don't go there much anymore....

So that sums it up??

Whoa, you are harder on some of those guys over there than I have ever been!

Now, T. That story was nothing more than a Saturday morning parable from an over-caffinated mind. Any similarity those descriptions have to the other board would be purely coincidental.

i like both boards and post on both. many of the same posters that post on the "other" board like tornado,dogrus,mike radigan, and me post on both.

i don't like all the non-bu threads on either board so usually i just post about bu. i like the pro-bu stance and posts on this board. i have visited cu and siu fan boards and those two have alot more critical posts on anything that goes wrong with their teams.this board is usually 99% positive no matter what.

i do like the other board having a mix of fans. sometimes it is interesting to interact with fans with different viewpoints about teams. although sometimes i don't agree, i can handle posters with different viewpoints than myself.

glad both boards exist.

But free speech is not really available on the PJ board.
After numerous of my posts were deleted, and there was nothing wrong with them, I don't go there.

[isuquinndog]

Of course if posts are edited here, it's not really free speech either....

Quinnie - just suggesting you read the Rules for Posting: http://www.bradleyfans.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4554

Free speech is allowed under the guidelines. If you have a question, concern or problem, try PM'ing any of the moderators and I am sure they can help resolve any free speech issues you have.

Btw, nice win for your Redbirds the other night vs Wichita St.

I like this Board the best mostly because of Flipper's pictures!

But quinnie, free speech is not and never has been allowed without bounds, because there are always some restrictions like calling "fire in a crowded theater" and using objectionable language.
But it is pretty clear that's not what their moderator is talking about, and I think you know it.
This board actually IS censored, but better than some boards so that almost all posts are allowed.
In fact, in over two years the total number of posts that have been edited or deleted is barely more than single digits, one poster owns about 3/4 of those.
Why, they don't even allow juvenile and insulting comments like "Ruck the Fredbirds" or "Redbirds S*CK", like they seem to allow prolifically on some boards.
