Hey guys... I would hate for this to get real.

I don't like that there is already animosity between some members, and that we have lost many members in the past little while. I don't think that either party was meaning to belittle the other, and I think that both were trying to show their disgust with the "rotten apples", "idiots" and "bigots" who deflated our favorite sport. I agree with both of you in the fact that the rioters and the racial-slur-sayers were way out of line, and blackened the eyes of our passion. It's great to see such passion from the both of you, but I wish that you would not turn it on each other. Our community is better for having the both of you in it!

I don't think that I ever read Chris calling anyone on the boards a rioter, nor have I read Tyson calling anyone in our community a racist or bigot. If someone has called you that, it is their fault for wrongly labeling you, and I personally know better than to expect such behavior out of either. Can we put the gloves back on and keep the play going? Best wishes, guys!
