I hope you will allow me a moment to remind all of us here of the importance of respecting each other as fellow Cowboys fans….
When each of us signed up to be a part of this great forum, we agreed to follow its guiding rules. Three of the most important of those rules are as follows:
#8 - You will not personally attack or insult other members.
#9 - You will not troll or antagonize other members.
#10 - You will not stalk or continuously harass other members.
This is a forum. Which means it is purposely and intentionally designed to provide an opportunity for all to offer a variety of opinions. Like all opinion forums, having one set of common views is not going to happen. In fact the variety of opinions are what makes this place work!
Let me make a serious suggestion for anyone who lowers themselves below the standard we have set for mutual respect around here: When someone posts something you disagree with, tell them why you disagree, WITHOUT THE NAME CALLING AND INSULTS. It’s that simple. You can say, “Here’s where I disagree…” or “I think you’re wrong about ____”.
If we allow disrespect, insults, name-calling, etc to happen around here, we are literally destroying this great forum. What makes this place work is not that there is one right way to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. This place works because we can disagree without trying to harass, demean or disrespect our fellow fans.
I love this forum and respect everyone who takes the time to offer their opinions- even those I disagree with. If we’re going to keep this forum great, we must all do a better job of respecting each other.
I was at the Ranch for 12 years or so- I got sick of it so I came here.
TBH- I really don’t know if this site is better moderated (one of the mods was the reason I left the ranch) but my experience there definitely colored how I participate on internet chat boards.....which I guess for clarity’s sake would translate as ‘not much.’
I hardly post here but I read quite often. I just don’t have the energy to go back-and-forth with somebody because I didn’t think Demarcus Ware it was a first ballot Hall of Famer— or that Tony Romo was under appreciated or that TO was a cancer, or that Julius Jones was overrated, or that no one NO ONE drops the ball while falling to the ground like Dez Bryant, or whatever the lightning rod of the day was.
How someone’s opinion of a player can set people off on the internet amazes me......I’m like—aren’t you late for a road rage incident?
