I'm a new member recently. Been a Husker fan since I was born, 1964, but recently wanted to get more updated on recruiting and the football team.
I was reading about the "3 strike" policy and I wanted to challenge it. I disagree with it and wanted to tell you why.
Basically, it is a "law" to show bounderies. My problem with it is that the good hearted person is strapped with the "law" now, only he didn't need the "law" to know what's right, his desire is to honor the board, honor the other members and their views. The other problem is now the person that probably wasn't gonna do what's right in the first place, he plays his same game and knows the "rules", the "lines", the "law" and then he lives life right on the "line" and still frustrates the heck out of everyone else.
Example ... formerfan. I'm already sick of the guy. It's obvious, he's a "former fan". Why even give the guy any opportunity to speak? Well yes, if it's a democracy, you should. I don't think the board should be that. He doesn't need three strikes. He knows the game he's playing and he's havin' a blast doing what he is doing. All it does is leads to more and more sarcasism as he draws more members into his game and world.
As a former Pastor, I've seen his type, seen his game ... and wanted you to know that if you kicked him out I wouldn't mind a bit. He goes against the heart of what this board is about and has no sense of community. He doesn't deserve three chances!
Now, I know I have not "thought" through everything I've said, but if it were within my power, I'd not even give the guy a chance to sit in the stadium or even be on husker property. It's a priviledge to speak our minds, maybe he could learn a little bit about acceptance and respect for people ... but he isn't gonna figure it out anytime soon.
dedhoarse Look, the horse is getting spanked and all he does is sit there. He doesn't care! So it is with formerfan! Cut the losses and lets move on!
Sincerely and with no offense,
