[Shabby J]

I for one have been involved in some topics and posts that had gone too far, both in the comments I made and that some others made too. I take full responsibility for the boneheaded things I have posted and replied to in the past and am not proud of them.

You are right, when you go back and read this stuff, especially for the newbies or potential coaches, it looks ugly. I now try to read posts and not reply back immediately. The posts will be there later in the day when I can come back and think about what I want to say instead of talking out of pure emotion.

When I returned to the hobby three years ago, there was a league I was looking into. After going to their site and reading their message board I decided it was not for me, I now play mostly solitaire because of it and that very same thing can happen here too.
