I think you misunderstood my comments. I am in agreement here - believe me and unless I am totally mistaken, I was unaware that those of us who read and contribute here were a "jury and judge" among any/all topics. I thought we were just sharing information, ideas, etc about an activity that we all loved in order to improve upon it for us all and the activity .
After reading all of the comments and antagonistic postings, I see that many feel that it is the "be all" and end all " for some who are looking for a venue that may supply them with the "validation" that they must not be earning elsewhere.
Good luck Spartans Staff, returning and new members, AND the Administration - ignore this extraneous catharsis of emotion from so many that should not be trying to sway opinions in any way. Be true to your (individual) souls.
I agree with Oldguard. Best wishes everyone - but instead of "carry on", I say....move on!
.......and "LEAVE IT ON THE FIELD!"
