When the Girl Scouts, Ron in this case, come to my door and try to sell me cookies, their sales pitch determines how many boxes I’ll buy. Deep down I know it’s for a good cause and that my donation (or lack thereof) will not make or break their finances.
The GID has a leadership problem. There are some good dudes that moderate, but the pathetic mud slinging, name calling, and gang mentality, combined with the elitism rubs me the wrong way. Too many wannabe chiefs and not enough Indians. And the wannabes get a longer leash than the Indians.
Now, I could just pack up and leave (which I’m sure will be many’s suggestion upon reading this post) but I enjoy the friendly banter and talking football with the majority of the posters on here.
My style may come across as abrasive or rub people the wrong way but I’m not particularly worried about people’s feelings, particularly when discussing a non-life or death subject like football.
