Nice.

What's up with this?  43 words in 17 posts.  Nota and PSBBG, I'm new, I need some statistical analysis here. 

SU97-
Here is the breakdown.  43 words in 17 posts means consise points.  Grammar wouldn't be a problem.  Lower risk of spelling words wrong.  A  -16 karma, probably means pridefan has nothing good to say.  (Although I am at -9, I am not too sure about that, if pridefan is at -16.)

i like the cnu schedule for the 2nd half. it could be easier, of course, but it could be a lot tougher.

home – su, mu, gc
away – ncw, au, fc

im glad we get gc & mu in newport news. i think we can take the 3 at home, although gc will be out for revenge. the ncw & au games are going to be tough, especially the au game. i think we can avenge the losses to the bishops and panthers. if we can go 4-2 in the 2nd half i think we have a great chance to take the #1 seed and 1st round bye. our wins against au and gc should help us in any tie-breaker situation.

I already have a gun, so this site just provides the proverbial fish in the barrel.   I normally hesitate to use it, but there are times when it simply demands to be fired.  With that in mind, here's a further breakdown:

"SU97-
Here is the breakdown.  (I suggest the use of ":" instead of a period.)   43 (A sentence should never start with a number, so "Forty three" is better.) words in 17 posts means consise (concise) points.  Grammar wouldn't be a problem.  Lower risk of spelling words wrong (There is no verb, so this is not a complete sentence.  Also, "incorrectly" would be a better choice than "wrong".).  A  -16 karma, (This comma is not needed.) probably means pridefan has nothing good to say (The words are grammatically suspect, but are perhaps transparently true nonetheless.).  (Although I am at -9, I am not too sure about that, (Again, this comma is also not needed.) if pridefan is at -16.)"

I'm just messing around with you guys, but where is your expected skill as college level writers?  As Emeril would say, "Let's kick it up a notch!  Bam!"

ok a bit much, but what am I to do. Though nova if you run my statement through grammar check on microsoft word.  Your breakdown is too much:

Here is the breakdown.  43 words in 17 posts means consise(concise) points.  Grammar wouldn't be a problem.  Lower risk of spelling words wrong. (Not a sentence)  A  -16 karma,(comma not needed, but there is no such thing as over using them) probably means pridefan has nothing good to say.  (Although I am at -9, I am not too sure about that, if pridefan is at -16.) (Corrected using Miscrosoft Word grammar check.)

Nova if you are quoting me then it would probably be a block quote . You didn't even cite your source.  I am not sure which format you were using MLA or the other. (I don't even know what the other way is called.  I have never used it.)

Make that minus-10, then.

[CNU85]

Minus 11 and counting!!

Citing Pridesportbballfan, "ok a bit much, but what am I to do. Though nova if you run my statement through grammar check on microsoft word.  Your breakdown is too much:"

Hasanova says, "Artificial intelligence is only a supplement to the human mind, not a substitute.  The acquired knowledge and honed logic of a healthy human mind have never been fully replicated in an electronic format.  With that in mind, I sometimes use electronic aids, but I always remain my primary reference for spelling, grammar and style."

If you want a little avuncular (pausing while some readers check the dictionary) advice, I sincerely recommend you do not pursue a grammar, spelling, composition and vocabulary contest with me.  lol  Cut your losses and have a beer.    Plus one karma from me for being a good sport, which at the time of this post gets you "up" to -11!

[CNU85]

avuncular (pausing while some readers check the dictionary)

I'm too lazy to look it up. Besides, I like not knowing some things. It keeps me humble!

Thanks for a good laugh.  lol  You made my day.  A karma for you as well.

I am going to have to summarize what I was about to post. (I hit the back button the middle of posting my reply.)

This karma thing is a mystery to me.  I want someone to explain it to me.  Posts are about varying opinions it is what keeps these board active.  The rate I am going I am going to have to be like pridefan1, with just smiley's as posts.

Smiley's offer nothing to grammar.  They agree or disagree with Pat Coleman without too much opinion.  They sure make posting alot easier.  Problem is that isn't me.  I get smited for running my mouth on the football board, I come here take a fairly neutral apporach to basketball(I think mostly when I post my own rankings on the top 25 board)and get smited even more.

Mr. Hasanova I have always found you has a top of the barrel in terms of posting.  I met you and thought you were a decent respectable person.  I kind of wished there were more posters like you on here.  (The rest of the Greensboro posters have negative karma) Most of our posts have either been jokes or respect towards each other's school.  I took that post to be a joke and was returning with one. I don't want to battle anybody with grammar.

I think Narch, and I have a mutal understanding that we just disagree on just about everything.  Which of course I think is healthy for this board.

I may not like CNU, but i respect the fans.  They come out in huge numbers at home events and on boards.  Unlike Greensboro where, people hardly show up to anyting.

I have respect for every poster whether they have 1 post or 100,000 posts.  Probably why I have only smited one person. (I think once I reach 1,000 posts it will still be one person)

Finally, nova I don't need an uncles(yes, I didn't even need a dictionary) advice I have 9 uncles. I get plenty of advice and even more advice of things that can't be posted here.

Grammer, smiting ... YAWN ... 

[CNU85]

This karma thing is a mystery to me.  I want someone to explain it to me. 

It's simple - who cares?! In fact, I usually will smite someone if I knwo that the whole Karma thing matters to them. Even if I like the guy, if I find out that Karma is really important to him - as Emeril would say, "BAM".  I almost never know what my Karma level is - don't really care if it's negative or positive.

[Pat Coleman]

I've found that someone complaining about their karma tends to get smited. There are a lot of people who feel similar to CNU85 (though probably more mildly -- I don't know too many people who would smite someone every time they see them; more people would smite every time someone complains about getting smited).

Explain it? If you're concerned about your karma falling BBallGuy, maybe you should look at the tone of your posts in the Top 25 room. I'd be willing to bet you've rubbed some people the wrong way.

Old lion is smarting about his privileges being taken away. I think that when someone comes on the board solely to smite someone and not to post, that's an abuse of the privilege. I would hope someone could write a plug-in to this software to regulate that but in the absence of it, I'll be glad to.

Pat,

It's all fun! We all need to keep things in perspective. This is a forum to talk about very young men bouncing a ball around and throwing it into a round metal hoop to get more points than the other young men. And these guys do it for fun - not because the NBA scouts are in the stands and not because it pays for their tuition and books!

It's all entertainment and fun and I'm glad that this forum exists - where else can a guy go to smite someone for the heck of it and read big words like avuncular - all in one place?

[CNU85]

I don't go to other hoops boards very often. For those of you who do - are the grammar police as bad as they are on this board?
