The way I operate: "If you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say anything at all."

Like everybody else on these boards, I have issues with many elements of high school and club soccer.....

.....but in an effort to maintain "civility" on these message boards, I try my best to use my filter. (It has failed me a couple of times in the past. I've learned from my mistakes.)

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
