That was an excellently written post, Joe. I couldn't agree more.

I think you are very correct in stating that subtle shades of opinion are not easily conveyed on a wwwboard. I think it lies in the fact that communication is 2/3 sender and 1/3 receiver (or thereabouts). When you put it in writing, the receiver plays an even bigger role. It's much easier to convey shades when the receiver hears your inflection and sees your body language. Without this, any preconceived notions the receiver may have easily influence the tone they think it's written in. You can begin to convey shades of meaning in writing when you have a book to fill, but I hope no posts here become that long (although some of mine have approached it - and I still didn't get the meaning across ).

Anyway, of course it's not time to shut up. Unless you mean this particular issue of this thread, then perhaps.

You never answered my question: are you going to Florida, or what? The people want to know.


: Let me being by saying that while I love to compete and I certainly play this FIRST game with the intent of trying to win, I do not enjoy killing or even embarassing other teams.

: If I have given that impression, I am sorry. I really want all teams to do well.

: To me, this whole thread has been a very interesting (and not particularly harshly worded) discussion of deeply felt views.

: I admit that I don't completely understand folks who have expressed the opinion that such frank discussions are an indication that we all can't get along. Far from it, I think everyone will be able to get along BETTER because we have had a relatively open and frank discussion rather than secret tongue clicking and finger wagging among various factions in and around the pits.

: Perhaps it is more difficult to convey subtle shades of opinion on a wwwboard than I realized.

: So...

: Is it time to shut up already?

: Your votes are welcome (though I make no promise to abide by majority rule ;-)

: Joe J.
