"bye bye birdie"

[Colt45]

Wilco98 so theres a problem if we are trying to defend a player and all you guys do bring up the bad things. Some good things for example made the Final Four in football, Co-champs in bball,and a WR going to a Division 1-AA school (could have walked on to WVU) and 3 or 4 going to D 2 or 3 schools. There are somethings to ponder on.

That's all well and good, but this is a basketball forum. I have no problem with you defending your player. You have every right to do so. Just don't act like I stole your last cookie merely because I mentioned that he might need a little help getting himself straightened out. There's no harm in that, is there??

He needs help I know maybe a lot of help.

You think him getting on here and reading all this and with RM saying he will be in jail soon is a good start to that help?

you obviously must not be aware of the past help that was afforded him & he promptly dumped on those ppl, as well..... ppl can only take so much before they must move on for their own good.....this statement also goes to the other previous poster from yesterday (i think it was yesterday), that posted basically the same thing as you have, jolly gg. (can't 'member their name. sorry)

Given his past and the current state of affairs, that may be where he's headed, especially if what slice said is true and he's basically thrown away any past efforts to help him.

Thread is "........water in Elida" . I just posted that the "water" is not all polluted like some people make it out to be. I don't find a thrill in bashing someone on a site like this .

Actually the water is bad in Elida. We keep getting notices about some level of a chemical or something that is high. Let's be more specific next time, shall we?

[bluestreaksfever]

I love how people throw the terms slander, libel, and bullying around, as if simply bringing those terms up will shut people up from discussing topics they don't like or agree with.

Using terms in a wrong context, or just plain using words you don't actually know the meaning of, doesn't help your argument. It makes you look like whiny, butthurt infants with the mental iq of about 40.

There is no libel/slander or "cyberbullying" going on in this thread. Please use a dictionary and common sense before accusing other people of things they aren't actually doing.

This thread has not once mentioned any player by name, and burden of proof lies with the person accusing someone else of doing something illegal or wrong. If you can actually point out where someone was bashing a student by name and saying things that are consistent with actual cyberbullying, then please enlighten us. And making up instances to prove your case, isn't going to fly.

By the way, in case you were confused, here is the definition of cyberbullying: "Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner." Also, 99.9% of cyberbullying cases include the bullies releasing the public information of their victims, which includes: their real name, their email and physical address, date of birth. These bullies use message boards or social networking sites to create FALSE Rumors and spread them to turn other people against them (in this case, they aren't false rumors, we are discussing an actual, verified incident, and Rocketman didn't post this thread so we could all jump on the bandwagon and start hating a kid, who by the way is still naemeless. I'm from Archbold, so I have no idea who this kid is, nor do I care to know his name.).

In other words, this isn't cyberbullying.

In no way, has this thread been a deliberate attack on a student, nor has it been hostile. In fact, if you read the posts, all but a very small handful have said that they hope the student in question gets help and changes his life, because we are aware that this is a teenager. We haven't been sitting around here going, "Oh, what a waste of human life that kid is, he should just kill himself." What has been said in this thread isn't at all like that, and has been about getting the student in question some help and stating that sometimes a student's wellbeing is more important than athletics. Simply discussing a student, who wasn't named, online is not cyberbullying or slander or libel, or illegal in any way.

I actually think it is important to talk about situations like this instead of just ignoring the situation and hoping it goes away. Not talking about situations where kids mess up doesn't help anyone and only leads to more problems. I'd rather see genuine, heartfelt discussion like the one in this thread, over people acting high and mighty simply so they can brush it under the rug and be so scared to hurt someone's feelings and actually be part of the problem, rather than the solution.

TL; DR:
This thread hasn't been cyberbullying, bashing, libel, or slander. Please invest in a dictionary and read it before commenting on things you clearly have no idea about, thanks.

I really was literally talking about our water. I guess I'll chalk that up for a failed attempt at humor. Lol

I thought it was funny!!! Defiance has the same problem - especially when the pond turns over, or whatever it does or does not do. Might as well drink out of a SWAMP!
