Thanks everyone for your support.

The site is based upon give and take. It gets old when it seems like it is all take.

I don't see anything wrong with being proud of the accomplishments. JMHO

Not always. The Ohio Valley plays one 9-inning game and one 7-inning game on Saturdays..
I don't remember what the Patriot League does..

I am completely supportive of the views CD expressed and will publicly comment on my PM's.
If we look, we find CD started both the high school and college reporting thread.
Quite clearly, CD is very supportive of having a section on the board where parents can talk about what is happening with their son's.
Where I think folks are missing the point of CD's post and my PM's is when folks not only post in the high school and college thread, they also post the same of nearly the same information in other sections of the site, including the General items forum.
Why is that needed? I have my views on the "why,"
But the real point made by CD with which I completely agree is posting about your son, being silent about others, and then providing a link to players in the Phillies organization so the names of released players could be accessed.
Maybe there was a good explanation for that post but I, for one, fail to understand what it could be.
For 95% of the players who were released, their career is over.
Why does that need to be shared while rejoicing in posts about successes of your son?

As we all know, baseball is a game of failure.
When players have the occasional success and their supporters want to shout it from the rooftops, why not share in their joy rather than chastise them?
If the joy of others causes you disdain or annoyance, then something is bothering you that has nothing to do with the actual comapliant.

Thanks for your post, infielddad.
Here is how I see the problem now. There is a lot of discussion about a certain poster's one-sidedness or other non-conforming behavior going on in the underground of HSBBW PMs. I'm guilty of that as well.
The problem is that you have figured among your selves that so-and-so is basically undesirable. Now when so-and-so posts something that has marginally struck the raw nerve that you have been discussing underground, action is taken. The unknowing rest of the HSBBW may not be aware of the bad behavior that those in the underground have become familiar with. Hence the reaction we have seen this weekend.
CD stated that he had had enough of the USAFA, USNA, and Bolt threads. It seemed more like a personal issue at the time than a "protective" move for the good of the site. When it was locked, I immediately and incorrectly assumed he was the one who did it. Maybe if I had the "insight" of the underground, I would have reacted differently.

As one who has read a good deal of mindless drivel here, I respectfully disagree. This thread was moderated publicly, and then altered privately by the original poster. Sometimes it happens the other way around.
You'd probably see my bet that there's more here than meets the eye BHD. Using this thread as an example of why you don't choose to post here anymore is just opportunistic and tells me that you weren't really attentive to the whole issue.

I actually noticed that. If I congratulat someone I do it by PM. More personal.
