Thread: Ben McDaniels charts own course to be Broncos' QB coach

But they did exactly as you've requested - show their disagreement with your comment. They did it in a way that shows they don't think it is worth discussing (probably because your position was discussed in greater detail earlier in the thread.)

They showed it in a childish, immature way. People should make some effort to at least carry themselves respectfully, even online.

And yet they are the established members of the community; a community that is more relaxed on code of conduct than many other community boards. You are the person coming to the community seeking acceptance as a member of the community. Have you per chance read the code of conduct here to see if their actions are in violation of said code?

Granted they weren't respectful responses but as I mentioned the comments you made were already discussed in this thread in great detail already. Which shows that you didn't bother reading the entire thread before posting your comment.

If your skin is thin enough to be bruised by those remarks, I would suggest you find a different community to participate in as those types of remarks are not unusual in these forums.

You certainly don't have the right idea.

If the code of conduct is lenient here, then I'm glad. I'd much rather a lenient CoC. Especially with my posting style.

And those comments certainly didn't bother me. They were simply immature, and when using comments like those to disagree with a contrary opinion, it generally leaves the impression that the person who said them can't back their own opinion up with anything intelligent or factual. Comments on a message board certainly don't bother me, but it's disappointing if people like that would rather act like spoiled children than engage in football discussions.

And I did indeed read the CoC, and I never claimed that they were in violation of anything other than being immature and ignorant.

Yeah but what I'm telling you is that for that to work, Turner would have to accept the promotion. Josh just can't stick job titles on different coaches all willy nilly like.

Exactly.

Staples, if you're so content on having real football discussion, feel free to bring it anytime. If you want to make such declarations about Josh based on his hiring, why not back it up? An explanation of how this negatively affects the team and why it's an indicator of the type of coach Josh will become despite many coaches, both good and bad, hiring siblings, sons and friends.

When you can do that, then we'll talk.

There is no need to make football discussions personal, which means there is no need to point out another poster's characteristics if they don't meet your expectations.

Just a friendly reminder.
