Interesting last couple of weeks on TBS - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I first want to make it very clear I really enjoy that site. Each site I participate in has it's pluses and minuses. What is fun for me is to watch human nature and how I rightly or wrongly perceive it.

The plus for me in that site is it stories and information about recruits, players and coaches. As far as good discussion it is about the same as sitting in High Priest class and not challenging the teacher. That is probably good, you don't want a brawl in HP class. However, numerous times I have walked out and someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, "isn't brother so and so full of crap."

That site has allowed the degrading of people on CB, people on this site, quite frankly indicating pictures of porn are allowed, degrading of Utes, players and coaches. Anything that isn't BYU.

They kissed Kessmans butt all through the recruiting process only to turn on him like we do the neighbor who after all the cookies we give them won't take the lessons.

Somehow this week they turned on each other. It really wasn't very becoming for that site. Even the requirement to use real names, only site I believe in all of college football that does, did not stop the nastiness.

It was a good lesson in what could happen if people thought they really could speak their mind in High Priest group meeting. Speaking openly is good for some forums, TBS and HP group meeting aren't those forums.
