Maybe I’m wrong here but didn’t this dude bring his son and the way he was being raised into the conversation. Then he proceeded to say that his son would take the stupid sandwich from my daughter "old school" (which I assume means with force) after I tried to point out that not all 8 year olds are ungrateful whiners like he said. So please tell me where I crossed the line.

Also if he bolts because I thought his whole “we should be happy because we aren’t the crappy ISU team” thing was retarded then he was just looking for an excuse to get out or he is looking for people to beg him to stay.

People have come and gone on this board and it still moves on without them. If you guys feel that I should some how apologize to him then let me know. For the record I don't believe I need to though.

No offense to anyone but if we are really supposed to be happy because we are better then ISU what does that say about what is going on down in Lincoln?

 
Hmmm - I don't think we need to "beg" Cy to stay...or return. Yes, he put his son "out there" and sort of made it fodder for discussion.

Having said that, and in re-reading the entire thread, I don't see that Cy was saying, "You can be happy that NU isn't ISU." At least, not precisely in the way I think you saw it in his post. Rather, he was trying to point out that, unlike ISU, this is a team that is showing improvement in terms of attitude and effort, and given the circumstances - new coach, instilling new attitudes, re-establishing traditions, etc. - things look positive. He was actually saying, in a manner of speaking, that compared to last year or compared to other teams (such as ISU), things are actually going well. A subtle difference perhaps, but that's the way I read it. He was merely accentuating the positives by showing how bad it is for ISU.

As for apologizing, I won't say one way or the other. I think that has to be your call. If you do decide to apologize - and, again, I'm not saying you should or shouldn't - I would think that you would want to post it and then email (not PM, in the event he really has left the board) to let him know you have apologized and done so publically.

Again, I think Cy over-reacted. And as you noted, the Board will go on. So whatever decision you make, do it based on what you feel is appropriate - the Board doesn't come into consideration here, so don't do something just because you think you should for the Board. Do what's right for you.

Edit: Just to stress one point - I don't feel that we need to moderate or temper our postings just because were Mods or Admins. We all started off as fans, and we should be able to express ourselves to the same degree as any other member. I know that there have been a few members that have felt that we have been "sunshine pumpers" or that we're too sarcastic or whatever. Screw 'em on that.

Im glad to see this was worked out without anyone feeling like they wanted to leave. Everyone disagrees every now and then..

Just human nature.
