re: Can we chill on on the 247/Texags/Rivals Talk?

Honestly I like the talk because it is all something we can agree on.

Actually no it isn't.

I don't really mind the new threads talking about other boards but what I get very annoyed by is the thread derailment. It's very annoying when someone brings up something that was reported by X and then the next 15 posts are about how X is an oversensitive jerk or how X follows recruits into bathrooms. Some folks like Texags. Some folks like 247. Some folks hate them both and some like them both.

I really like tArk but the constant need to bash other sites is easily my least favorite part of this board. It has chased away some posters that otherwise would have been quality contributors because believe it or not some people actually appreciate guys like Liucci. Most of you don't remember what the world of the internet was like prior to Texags. It's not just that some people feel the need to bash Liucci, it is that they feel the need to make it as if you don't bash him then you are a mindless robot.

Each site has value, just in different ways. Of course I like to read conservative and liberal political sites as well even though I am more libertarian.
