BHF Caucus - The Solve candidate or the Complain Candidate

[Roscoe Pound]

I'm sitting with the Solve candidate, Solve will take a fact based look at the situation and develop a positive outlook and plan moving forward. Solve will winnow out SINOs (Solve in name only). 

The Complain candidate represents all the bitching, whining, woe is me, cry in my soup crowd.

How do you register?

Well, considering you completely insult half of the crowd with your description of the candidates, I would say this is one guy who won't play along.  And it's not up to solve anything as we're not the coach (and if you are I really think you need to be looking at film or out recruiting).

I can describe the two candidates quite easily.

One is an emotional thinker. Reacts with emotion to the events he/she faces.

The other is a logical thinker. Doesn't react with knee-jerk emotions to the events he/she faces.

(Works for relationships/marriages too. My wife is an emotional thinker with everything in life. Her: "Oh isn't that a cute puppy. I want it!"  Me: "yes. It is cute now but it is going to grow up and pee and poop all over, stink up the house, eat your shoes." Oh by the way, our 160lb English Mastiff is a good dog, but she pees and poops all over the backyard and farts worse than a sailor!! )

Obviously I'm more on the emotional side, and I think that's a product of who I am combined with the type of folks I deal with at work from time to time.  But that doesn't make me all the nasty things that were given as options in the first post.  And I most certainly continue to grow and evolve with what I do.  Have to when people count on you to keep them employed.

Always has to be one of two options, never any room for anyone in the middle.

Curious, where would you put Bo?

I think he's more of a thinker, less prone to outbursts.  Kind of the guy who sleeps on a big decision and thinks before he speaks or acts.  Kind of like the guy in the cat picture from his Christmas card.

No reason for you to lump yourself in with the problem makers. You hardly fit the bill. It isn't about complaining. It isn't about not complaining. It is about intentionally causing trouble, and as I said, that isn't you. No one is being censored, as evidenced by what we are seeing on the boards as we speak. Say what you want. We all know you are true to what you say!

Yes, it does seem like the message we're now getting is if you're not a Kool Aid drinking band wagon rider your days on this board are numbered.  Is this enough to get me banished?

I stand in the middle of the road.  Time is not a friend in these parts pardner.  Having the unprecedented success of the nineties just fueled the fires of inpatients.  The success in the early seventies made it tough for Osborne.  He survived the negative vibes of the day and bought time to keep upping his game.  Bo has the blueprint of how it once worked but the fans can pressure success or they can tear it apart before it blossoms. I try not to be too up or too negative for recruiting sake.  The recruits have more avenues of information than ever before. Discontent needs to be measured and the snowball affect can blowup a system that needs nurturing.  The rose colored glasses can also lead to complacency.  There needs to be a balance for the programs sake.  I sometimes play the mediator.  Sometimes I point out what I believe needs addressed.  Sometimes you just need to cheer on those that need nurturing.  Extreme behavior can make a program or break it to pieces.  You need both observers and sunshiners to keep things in prespective.  Recruits look for green pastures and too much discontent can make them look elsewhere.

I think the issue that people continue to struggle with here is form over substance . The "opinion of a message board" is used as a shield for excusing poor, rude, boorish form.   It ends up in reality being less about hashing the program, but rather a surfacing of individual personality flaws. There seems to be a lack of comprehension in reading posts and appropriate filters to manage impulse. It creates problems here locally and has nothing to to with the NU football program.

When we win, I'd put myself somewhere around the middle.
When we lose, it's all in the complaint department

[Bummerbry]

Unfortunately some people are over reacting to some policy changes put forth to save BHF. Kind of expected it but also expected that people would seriously read what was said and try to understand.

If and when anyone gets censored, you let me know. Until then, drink the kool aid or kick it over. But please don't act like you are not being allowed to speak your minds when that isn't the case! That simply isn't fair nor is it true!

[MadRat]

Complaints are a sign of excitement, usually in an effort to ward off change.  Criticism is a one aspect of complaint, just in a direction to steer towards an expected goal.  The problem for some is that they complain now when it should have been done the day TO retired.  He had one more MNC in him.

All right, thank you bummer. Just not sure what to say anymore. Sometimes it seems like walking on eggshells trying to not say the wrong thing.
