COACHT DISCRIMINATES

[1979panther]

I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR THOSE WHO ARE OFFENDED BY THE USE OF SLANG OR EBONICS. IF YOU LOOK IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN YOU WILL SEE THE "BACK" BUTTON. JUST CLICK ON THE "BACK" BUTTON AND YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED, MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POST. IF I OPEN A POST THAT IS NOT INTERESTING TO ME, I DO NOT EVEN READ IT. I MOVE ON TO A SUBJECT MATTER THAT IS INTERESTING TO ME. I AM IN NO WAY ADVOCATING THE USE OF SLANG/EBONICS, BUT I AM ALSO INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THE WORLD IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND SOCIAL FACTORS THAT SHAPE HOW THEY COMMUNICATE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW THEY EXPRESS THEMSELVES MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POST. HOWEVER REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO VISIT coachT THAT CAN RELATE TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

JUST CLICK ON THE "BACK" BUTTON AND YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED, MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POST.

 

And you ought to keep in mind that it costs real money every time you click on a page filled with junk unrelated to high school sports... hitting the back button does not invoke a refund.

IF YOU READ MY POST AGAIN I DON'T THINK YOU WILL SEE ME DEFEND ANYONE GETTING ON THIS WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT NON SPORTS RELATED SUBJECTS. MY PROBLEM IS WITH THOSE WHO THINK THAT BECAUSE A PERSON USES SLANG WORDS HE SHOULD NOT BE HEARD. WHEN I COME TO THIS SITE, I COME TO READ ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS, AND IF SOMEONE IS NOT DISCUSSING SPORTS ON THIS SITE I AM NOT INTERESTED. BUT JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT SOMEONE HAS TO SAY DOES NOT MEAN THAT EVERYONE IS NOT INTERESTED. THAT IS WHY I HAVE A CHOICE TO HIT THE BACK BUTTON AND MOVE ON. AND ON THE ISSUE OF COST

I HAVE A TRUCKLOAD OF MONEY, SO I WILL CONTINUE TO HIT THE BACK BUTTON WHEN I SEE A POST THAT I DO NOT CARE TO READ.

Can I make 2 suggestions?

 

1. Please use the Caps Lock key.

 

2. Read the Terms of Service at the bottom on the page.

 

There is no "me" in "team" but there are two "i's" in idiot.

BIG HURT I HAVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY ON BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I WANT IT.ALSO IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO GET ON A WEBSITE AND THROW INSULTS BECAUSE YOU DON"T AGREE WITH SOMEONE ELSES OPINION. AS FOR THE RULES OF THIS WEBSITE I DON'T NEED TO READ THEM BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO CONDUCT MYSELF.

[Opperman]

And, to be quite honest, 1979panther, it makes you look like an idiot. If you keep capslock on all the time, it's generally a sign that you haven't been online that long. That's fine, let me give you one of the first rules of posting online. All-caps are to be used ONLY for emphasizing a particular point.

 

The same rule applies in everyday conversation. All-Caps is the equivalent of yelling, and somehow I doubt you'd want me or anybody else yelling in your ear the whole time they're talking to you. That's what you're doing to us by posting in all caps.

 

Please, stop. I suspect I'm not the only one that barely ever bothers to read posts that are in all-caps...why? Because it's harder to read that way.

 

And as for the rules of this website, your refusal to read them doesn't mean you don't have to follow them.

1979panther,

 

Please read the thread "Suggestions/Information/and other stuff."

[1979panther]

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE RESPONDED NEGATIVELY TO MY POST. I WILL NOT STOOP TO YOUR LEVEL AND INSULT SOMEONE THAT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. AS FAR AS BEING AN IDIOT, IF YOU REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I AM SAYING AND HOW I EXPRESS MY OPINION YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THAT I AM FAR FROM AN IDIOT. ALSO OPPERMAN IF YOU DO NOT READ MY POST BECAUSE IT IS ALL-CAPS THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL REPLY TO THIS SUBJECT MATTER. I WILL MOVE ON TO THE POSTS THAT INTEREST ME(NASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL). AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOU ARE REPLYING TO AN IDIOT, LET ME JUST SAY THAT I AM VERY COMFORTABLE WITH MY LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE. IF THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN RESPOND TO ME IS TO HURL INSULTS, THEN WHO IS THE REAL IDIOT. HAVE A NICE LIFE.

[Opperman]

So let me get this straight...

HEY LOOK AT ME I WILL POST THE WAY I WANT TO BECAUSE THATS JUST HOW I WANT TO TALK I DONT NEED TO KNOW ANY OF YOUR WEBSITES RULES OR ANYTHING OR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO WRITE I KNOW HOW TO ACT ON HERE AND IF I DONT WANT TO TYPE THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO THEN I WONT DO IT AND I HAVE A TRUCKLOAD OF MONEY SO I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK

?

[1979panther]

OPPERMAN,THANKS I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!

ALSO I TOOK THOSE OF YOU WHO WANTED ME TO READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE ADVICE. AND JUST AS I SUSPECTED NOTHING I HAVE WRITTEN VIOLATED ANY RULES. BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CALLED ME AN IDIOT, I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO:

#2 BE NICE

#3 BE COURTEOUS

#4 BE POLITE

#13 BE AWARE

#19 BE WELCOMED

AND IF YOU QUIT FOCUSING ON MY CAPS LOCK KEY AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE POST YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.
