The Lions' Pride

I live to try to diminish your level of irritation, but I'm not sure where you'd recommend this post be put, other than either the trash or a thread labelled "Everything I Don't Care About Because It Isn't Directly About Football." I looked at the posts on the first page, and don't see any other reasonable place to put this. I hope to be forgiven.

Perhaps you're right about my reaction. In fact, though, I have primarily posted here when an upcoming event was almost here (hence my reaction to your reaction), and I have no desire to force myself or my particular "political" interests on those who don't care about them. I will endeavor to keep this stuff to a minimum, and keep my finger off the downvote button.

I'd actually hoped that my previous post came off as snarky rather than nasty--the latter was not my intent. Sorry.

Ditto.

I'd rather keep the majority of posts on this board related to PSU sports and other sports rather than the lack of action/inaction from PSU's administration through this whole ordeal.

Thanks for the heads up. Keep them coming, and provide details in a new thread when appropriate. Folks can ignore them if they're disinterested.

Compared with other boards the amount of Sandusky stuff here, even with updates like this, is by far the lowest anywhere.

It's part of the reason I love this board.

As long as people aren't clogging the front page with stuff, I don't see the complaint. If no one is interested, it will naturally get off the front page in a day or two anyway. People need to stop whining over personal preferences on a community board.

over look the 24/7 whiners, they don't have to read it, like I refuse to read new-era stuff
keep em coming

You are one vote for them being "annoying."

I am one vote for them being "not annoying and worthy of their own thread (so that the news doesn't get missed because it's buried in some generic 'Anti-BoT Thread' thread)"

I just think the cost (an extra thread here and there on the penn state football discussion forum I frequent) worth it to keep the pressure on.

But I am only one vote, and if I'm outvoted -- hey, I understand that's the way it goes.

And to DaveM, keep up the good work! Much appreciated!

This.

Please keep creating new threads.

Point taken.

I'd just rather come to the board to read about PSU sports and other sports than the latest article from PS4RS or any other group trying to make headlines and do what our administration didn't. While I appreciate the efforts and passion of those groups, I'd rather just come here to talk/read about sports and that's it.

Bottom line, it is what it is and this is a message board and it's the only one on this site, for now.

This made me LOL!

I've seen the "beer" thread rise to page 1. Just never seemed to pique my interest to post there let alone even open the thread!

I do read the OPs from David aurabass and such who care to post here, b/c I'm interested in the content and progression of their investigations. I don't always post in 'em but I do read them.

It seems to me that someone who has to post negatively in an OP that he doesn't want to see these post proliferate is somehow "conflicted" IMO.

Why read it if you don't like the OP topic? Just let it go and do your thing.

Whatever!

I tend to agree (see bolded text in the quote). The only exception for me is the twitter thread. I read it no less than once a week and on average twice. The pace that it is growing is a good pace for me to keep up with and its content is always current. Roaringlion has done a fantastic job with that thread. I have a Twitter Acct. but I don't have the energy to follow what the folks who contirbute to that thread do. Its fun for me. I just ignore the content that I'm not interested in and focus on the stuff that piques my attention.
