to nobody in particular... i just pulled a few posts. were they in violation of the rules of this forum? not really. they were just sort of over the civility line. i'm not scolding those who posted. i just felt they were a might overboard.
i understand why beth has a lot of friends. luke too. and, i don't think it's simply because of what they can substantively provide as friends.
i understand also (some of) the reasons why beth has detractors. join the club, beth. i also have them.
i'm not going to defend her; and i'm not going to trash her. or luke. if you guys want to write why you aren't their fans, okay, they're pro athletes, they're businesspeople, i am too, if we didn't want folks talking about it we should've shrunk back and not put ourselves out there.
just, please exercise basic civility and stay inside the rules. if you won't write it on facebook, please don't write it here. you can be anonymous. just, please don't take advantage of anonymity.
I agree on this. Bash away but don't be a d*ck about it. People do have lapses in judgement, serve their time, and come out differently (I have friends who have had court mandated punishments and it really did change them)
but bash away - because I like a good roast!
