Hey folks - as a member of the DawgNation community, please remember to abide by simple rules of civil engagement with other members:
- Please no inappropriate usernames (remember that there may be youngsters in the room)
- Personal attacks on other community members are unacceptable, practice the good manners your mama taught you when engaging with fellow Dawg fans
- Use common sense and respect personal differences in the community: sexual and other inappropriate language or imagery, political rants and belittling the opinions of others will get your posts deleted and result in warnings and/ or banning from the forum
- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

Thx, Tex!
@Teddy, thanks. You couldn’t have done anything differently and I appreciate your post. Your post above continues to represent what good looks like, and my interactions with you have been top notch, especially in the heat of that moment. I appreciate it for sure.
For the board, Jeff is working on some things in partnership with the mods, and I’d anticipate an improved experience for all. In talking to Jeff, I should’ve also handled it differently, primarily waiting to speak to him directly which I didn’t do and that part is on me.
Regarding how I took the post to look elsewhere: this is a copied excerpt of that post from a mod:
“And on a small side note: I've seen a few mention how this site is "going down" and "losing members."
Since March of this year, we have added well over a few thousand new members and average about 10-15 a day right now. We're strong and this is a great site. If you disagree, other options are waiting for you.”
Interpretation in a heated moment can go a lot of ways. Obviously, I didn’t take it as a positive response. As I was the one who posted its “going down”, verbatim, I felt confident that it was aimed at me. Admittedly, I should’ve paused or clarified with that mod; I’m human behind this screen name too, and I did feel like the growth I’ve had a small hand in creating was being thrown in my face over a fu fan. Pride preceded the fall.
That said, once again, I’ve talked to Jeff and I’m ready to move forward. After all, there’s a reason the windshield is bigger than the rear- view mirror, right?
So if it pleases the board, it’s in the open, not sure more needs to be said publicly. Let’s close this down and focus on who we might land in the next 12 days?
