Post Reply to Back Room
This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

??? Maybe you didn't get where I was going by The Holtz Room
Message boards are tough to pick up tone.
I can't stand the fact these people protest at such horrible events.
There was a young man stabbed in the back and his attacker got what he deserved courteousey of his brother Marines. The article was posted back here last week.
In my hometown they came to protest a funeral and they were met by a group of vets that wasn't going to let them through. I was at the church making sure there wasn't one that snuck by.
They are the lowest common denominator.
