Like a lot of arguments on this board, this is pretty pointless. To say a team underachieved or overachieved is based on an expectation, and expectations change through time. So if GW finished #13 this year, it would be perfectly reasonable for a person to say that the team met expectations if those expectations were from October 2021. At the same time, it would be perfectly reasonable for a person to say the team underachieved based on expectations from when Jamion Christian was hired in March 2019, as I think we all expected at that time for GW to finish better than #13 in his third year as head coach. If that was the expectation, we could have stuck with MoJo. So it's all just another pointless argument. We should all be able to predict how we think the team will and should finish this year without people questioning each other's motives. As for me, I have no idea what they will finish this year, but I am hoping they finish better than #13 and am looking forward to finding out!

Thanks Barry. Nobody can say you didn't try. Within 10 hours of your post, the dude was back at it. 
Rich Maier and Thinker were 2 of the many names dude posted under before Barry designed this board to prevent that sort of thing. Maine Colonial (our former illustrious National Alumni leader and Nero buddy) left us when Nero was canned.
Things are slowly getting back to normal with only 1 problem child. Barry, it's just a matter of time before you need to exile him to the Mens Squash site.

Barry, 

My grandmother taught me that niceness is it's own reward.  I'm glad you're nice, and I will be mailing you a memorialization of niceness. Maybe two, if there is a Mrs. Barry.

Rich Maier is nice, btw, with a nice wife.  Thinker tries to be nice. I understand he is a real friend when a guy needs a real friend. He'll give you the shirt off his back, if he's wearing a T-shirt.  Or, change your tire, or jump start your battery.  I trust they both read this site, and might join you for a drink.  Dude can be nice, but he may be a smoker, rather than a drinker. 

Anonymity is no way to go through life.  It too often is used for scurrilous purposes. 

Have a nice day, Barry.   Same to all.

Those were good posters. Shouldn't have been allowed to be run off.

Depends on the occasion Colonel

Nobody gets run off.  People leave on their own.  Maybe they are tired of the nonsense posts.  Maybe they are tired of the same points being repetitively made.  Maybe they have had it with all of the bickering.  Or the instigating.  Or the trolling.  Nobody forces anyone to leave.  They leave on their own volition.

Rich Maier?  Thinker?  For all we know, the person or people who once used these names may very well still be on this site.  This is what happens when you go from "post under as many names as you'd like" to "one poster name per person".  The universe of poster names shrinks even if the number of unique individuals stays the same.

Hilarious that people posting anonymously were "run off a site". How would you identify who to "run off"? of course, the allegations are being made by another anonymous poster. 

Much more likely, the explanations can be found in Gwmayhem and Joel Joseph's posts above. 

But Dude why would someone go to such great lengths to register with Barry using a valid email and converse with Barry but then use other names here? Barry probably knows who most of the posters are here. I promise when I tell you I don't have time for that shit. Maybe others do I don't know but I tend to doubt it. Time to end to end the wild conspiracy theories and just realize that more than one person may not agree with you. Barry has been trying to tell you this politely and with the patience of job for months now. God gave you two ears and one keyboard for a reason lol.

Ok I'll play Dude but just so there is no confusion I'm not Mailvan.. You know Rich Maier personally? Thinker? Maine Colonial? Real friends of yours or guys you took whatever they said here at face value? Could you pick any of them out of a lineup? If the answer is no, then how do you know what happened? If the answer is yes how do you know for a fact they are still not posting here?

Second, you claim "it still does." Got any evidence of that? Barry, care to chime in here and set the record straight?

Dude basketball fantasies are one thing but this paranoia is not at all healthy. Ask GW69 for a referral. You will feel better. I promise.

Oh and one other thing, please stop direct messaging me. I don't know you and I am not interested in engaging in the paranoia.



 

Too bad I am no longer in school. Or a psychology major. I'm sure they could do a hell of a case study on a couple people here.

Poke around the board, GW, Skittles has a sick interest in the sex lives of other men's wives. He's accused one poster of engaging in adultery with a coach's wife. 

I concurred with Barry about the importance of being nice. I noted that Rich, Thinker, and Dude are three distinct men.  I have spoken with each over the years.  You know: like real GWU alums who attend real GWU games as real GWU ticket holders do. 

I have phone numbers for each of these men. 

Skittles is a bit of a scam.  No matter, except for his comments about other men's wives. His comments are libels.

It's a shame, LSF.  But, you can always reach out.  Chat with Joel, Skittles, BC, Rich, Dick, Thinker, Dude.  If you need a number or an email, let me know. Maybe invite them all to a game.

Alright. So 1. I didn't accuse I called him out on his bull because he claimed he had and he obviously has not.
2. How more obvious could you be Brian. Come on now buddy.
3. I used to be in the know. It's a couple years old obviously but I've never lied. Sorry you liked Pat so much BP. Guy was always creepy to me.
