    Props to Yardie and others for the civility

    Just wanted to say that I've noticed you not hammering every QB at 3 related post even though I know you wouldn't agree with the move. We have had some back and forths and you, and others never got personal. You deserve some respect for keeping the decorum around here.

    It's easy to have favorite positions and players. But it's one thing to state an opinion or disagreement, and another to be annoying an attack every post that doesn't support your favorite player or position. This isn't some sort of battle. None of us have control over the situation anyways.

    I think we could kick the civility up a notch and keep the tone down overall. Have a good discussion, make your point, but allow others to have theirs. I think you will find that there is a great deal of quality in the opinions around here.

      I am pretty sure the attacks where simply saved for incognito neg rep comments, but cheers.

                    Civility is not that hard, but I appreciate it in posters who make it a habit.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                      Why would anybody want to be civil with Yardie?

                          Matt Leinart
                          Danny Wuerffel

                          One less player to worry about.

                          I mean seriously?

                            Toss me into the list of people as well. I'm sure I'm guilty at times. I thought "we" implied that.
