re: Chad Jones tweet about the Tiger Rant

No, I got the point. He clearly said as a player he DID NOT read comments about him or his teammates on the Rant

So people can stop saying ... "Hey man, players read this. Don't criticize the staff."

If I were to read the tigerrant back when I was playing @ LSU I probably would have low self esteem. Those people are harsh.

You are correct in saying that Chad did not read this as a player. Those who did not get this point did not read his statement accurately. However, you are wrong that just because Chad didn't read the rant that other players don't. We don't know what the rest of the team does with regards to this site.

What we do know is that for players who do read this site, there is the potential to affect their performance. This is what Chad is saying. And again, just because that potential exists doesn't mean that every player who reads this gets down, but we do know that this is a possibility. Trying to argue against that is lacking in all logic. At the same time, all the bitching done on this site really serves no positive purpose. If we could do away with something that has no positive value and might have a negative impact, most in society would consider that a good thing.
