LPB is gone now, but we cannot undue any damage he may have done on outsiders' perspective of Tech and its supporters.
There are 2 reasons I said what I did in the postgame: 1) I KNEW that there would be those BB&B 'ers who would automatically perceive my comments as an attack and would therefore "retaliate;" (Obviously I wasn't wrong about that one!) 2) I KNEW that MANY BB&B 'ers, even though they had not heard exactly what I said, would infer whatever they wanted to and would then attack me.
The fact that I KNEW these things is an indication of what I feel is wrong with our board. I shouldn't have to justify to anyone on this board my commitment to Tech through the years. But to some here IT MATTERS NOT WHAT THE TRUTH REALLY IS! Emotionally they post whatever with no regard for anyone who reads.
Yes, everyone has the right to express opinions. But they should each take responsibility for those opinions.
