Hey guys, I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to post this, but I don't where else to put it. I've been posting a few times a week for awhile now, and I while I feel as though I posted a good amount of insightful content (along with some useless chatter), I can't seem to get any love from other posters. I think most of my downvoted comments seem to come from posts in which I either criticize a player (usually a Plumlee) or insinuate that one of our excellent coaches is viewed a certain way by outsiders.
Example: I posted in the 2012 Recruiting Thread: "But I still can't shake the feeling that we have this false reputation for producing underachieving big men. I guess recruits take one look at Wojo and decide he has no business teaching big men how to play. I have no idea what his methods are, but he did a pretty good job with Boozer."
I got 2 downvotes for this: "Another Wojo is small therefore can't coach bigs post? Minus a pitchfork!" and "When you (and others) stop talking about the very false perception about Duke and big men, maybe it will end"
I don't understand this. @the 1st downvote: Not only did I not say that Wojo is a bad big man coach, I actually said I think he's doing a GOOD job. @the 2nd downvote: I SAID that this is a false perception. I'm TRYING to help others see that they are wrong.
Is this a board for constructive discussion or a Duke love fest, where we aren't allowed to talk about our own faults? I mean, come on, how does anyone get better if you can't see or even mention what we can improve upon? I'm as die hard a Dukie as they come, and no one here is going to tell me otherwise, but seriously, what is this?? Give me a break, can't a guy establish some positive rep without ONLY posting positive stuff all the time? How are we supposed to discuss anything if everyone agrees on everything all the time? Am I the only one who has the stones to play the devil's advocate in a discussion? By all means, somebody else man up.
