LIZagFan — understand, and dismayed by your decision. Loved your contributions. Liked it when you agreed with me; liked you more when you didn’t. You were unfailingly thought provoking. You always saw that criticism and disagreement can be constructive. You recognized the difference between banter and vitriol. Should be obvious, but of late, not so. As a tribute to your work here, hope the mods will foster controversy, but swift to warn and punish hate and personal attacks.
Know that you’ll peak-in, and hopefully comment from time to time. You will be missed, because this board is weakened by your departure. Be happy, be content with your efforts here, and be well. Zags have many fans, none truer than you.
Go Zags!

Originally posted by LongIslandZagFan View PostI would love to say it was a hard decision, but after the last year or so, and especially the last few months, it wasn't. As soon as it can be made effective I will no longer be a moderator, or much of anything else on this board. I will still post in the Foo... and honestly that will be about it. The veiled politics and negativity of this board has made it unreadable and unmanageable. Some folks on this board that will be more than happy to see me go... believe me... the vitriol one poster has sent me in PMs makes it quite clear. I will also note that Reno, Caldwell, and Hoopaholic have all done the same for variations of the same reasons in the last weeks and days. I cannot attest to whether they have intentions of posting going forward. To those that feel you had the right to run roughshod over the board... I guess you won in some sorts. Sadly, 90% of the posters that were here for over a decade and had great and interesting posts have all left. Best of luck... you may need it.
But I do part with a loving and heartfelt Go Zags! It may be the only thing that we all agree on.Originally posted by Coach FewWe are not here as a #%$&%&! Courtesy!!!

What the heck is going on here I take off for an off season and now the board is untenably terrible and all the old heads are leaving? What politics are we talking here? Everyones so cryptic it's hard to even know who the bad actors are/ what we are upset about. Did someone ask basketballzag to wear a mask in public?

I've been listening to the three toddlers that live next door scream and cry continuously from 6 am to 8 pm daily since this fricking pandemic started. I can't get any work done. I pretty much want to throttle their parents because they have zero discipline whatsoever. There's zero chance I'll stomp over there and tell them to muzzle their pieholes, though. There's a metaphor in there, but I'll leave it to the reader to make one.
