just be grateful we have a board where the admins dont whack every last thread that's even remotely negative, unlike the majority of the other boards out there

What do you know about Red China?

I like to go to threads where information is offered or requested, and discernible in the title of the thread. Otherwise, you'll tend to end up in repetitive and duplicative commentaries. Otherwise, if you feel strong enough to start something on your own thread, be prepared to back it up with new insight, opinion, experiences, etc., or rest assured... someone will let you know how they feel. Nothing wrong with that.

I had said the coaches needed to start Hatch, and dedicate their time to getting JJ ready to play. I was called every name you can think of for my alleged vitriol.
*fixed*
Funny how many people were "skeptical about Lee from the beginning" now, as opposed to August. People were calling him the next Hodson back in August. . .

It's amazing to me how many supporters J.L. still has. If you compare it to any other school, media, etc. with the exception of on-line stuff, it's unprecedented.

The same topics getting posted over and over and over gets old really quick.

I remember all this.
I was on the hatch train as well.

Being fairly new here, just an observation - anyone who is the least bit critical of Miles, the season, etc. is ripped apart on this board. All of a sudden being critical makes you not a real fan and/or worth living.
Can you really NOT ever be allowed to express criticism?! It seems like the Rant is becoming more like Red China!
I find it funny that you think this board is too strict and doesn't allow criticism.

Why is it that people who criticize always complain when their criticism is criticized?

WRONG.

Let me be clearer - people questions other's "fan-ness" per say because they are critical. I was not referring to the board as in posts getting deleted, banned, etc.

I don't see it so much as questioning their "fan-ness" as questioning their ability to be a competent fan.

Personally, I'm just sick of hearing it. Obviously this team did not perform to standards. Miles and LSU both have established track records now. One down season is not the downfall of Rome.
If this continues deep into next season, then I will most likely have a very different opinion.
How many threads do we need to say that the Co-DC thing appears to be a mistake, that our QB play stunk, and that neither line played up to expectation?

Should have stopped at this point.

And, I think it is funny that you think this board allows/tolerates too little criticism.
There are a lot of things that fans can fairly be critical of this year. However, the criticism on this board is waaaaaaay over the top.

Criticism of Ranters who are critical of LSU players and coaches is also allowed.
