Comments to All in EF

In response to the "Is There More Than One Way to Play EF?" post.
---------------------------------------
This debate seems to be more about control of the hobby than anything else. It seems to me that there are certain individuals in the hobby who are attempting to create a vangaurd on little 'ol EF.

Again, I think that we in the EF world must make the induction of new coaches into the hobby our highest priority. This and this alone will do more to boost the populartity of the game and thus empower those of us who have led the movement. In our MPFL group, we are doing exactly that despite the negativity of some. This is our main objective, and it is working wonderfully.

I keep saying that the most important function of these chat boards is to push information, not personal agendas. To have fun, but remember, this is not a blog, but rather a teaching tool.

Imagine the response of a newbie who is shacky in his EF committment. If he sees that we are bickering among ourselves and they can't find the info they want, then they may quickly put the game back into the closet and move on to something else.

I am working behind the scenes to create a site to house information rather than focusing on my own agendas, even at my own expense.

And, as far as playing the game in different methods: Perhaps people should begin to articulate WHAT THOSE METHODS ARE as most newbies haven't a clue what you all are talking about. (I get emails from newbies daily, and they are not relating to any of this). I have tried to do that by giving a visual reference with most of my educational posts.

I have done my best on both chat boards to be as informative as possible without toe-stepping, although my toes have been stepped on at times.

Let's keep it fun , fair, and EDUCATE. Or else, this thing might not last...
