I liked your post about not being petty and letting things go. One of the issues I have with it on here is that it is usually in good fun, but sometimes my pride and ego gets in the way. Also sometimes I go at it with a poster I just despise and enjoy the mauling of them. It's not a good look, but it's also kind of the internet era that I was brought up in. That's not an excuse, it's just sort of the way things are. I will try to be better about it, sans the obvious joking and 'stylish' nature with guys like Jaded, where it's pretty clear that it's just schtick and in good fun. You gave me a lot to think about, old friend.

Revel in it! I got your avatar reference immediately.

I'm happy for you broski

Thank you for the insight.

How is your knee? You on the mend?

To me if the name is reverential I don't see the problem. The Braves, Chiefs, Seminoles etc all pay respect to Native Americans and their culture. The Redskins name was obviously uncool and I think their name change is welcome. I do think there is some hypocrisy involved as well because I don't see anyone complaining about the Fighting Irish and their leprechaun mascot.

How do you feel about the sports logo Native American stuff? From what I've read, some tribes are more receptive than others to it? I've heard a lot of complaints over the years for the Cleveland team's mascot with the red face. In contrast, the Illini/U of I scandal was more driven by yuppies and soccer moms than the actual tribe. I only ask because the Braves/Chiefs chop thing is usually brought up and under fire.

May I ask your opinion on a P and R issue?

That's a helluva idea!

Hey buddy!

I'm doing alright - I just took the bar exam and am plotting out my future. Everything is okay mostly. How are you and the kids? How's the wife? Still dabbling in pacifism?

Good to see you around.
