Tone of Posts

The truth of the matter, especially when considering what folks here have to endure and the constant malicious attacks, is that the treatment of NEFC on this site generally has been positive and often quite positive. The restraint shown by most is laudable. Throw out the obvious juvenile "my team is better than yours" stuff, and I've found that almost everyone describes NEFC as an elite club with elite teams among the best in the state. Almost everyone has endorsed btdt's point about different paths and endorsed that a great player can develop and reach D1 via NEFC. A ton of folks would love to get more overtly excited about his kid and her future. For the life of me, I cannot comprehend how he cannot see how counter-productive his actions here are. He decided to insert himself permanently into the site as a hemorrhoid that he refuses to remove, and so occasionally he gets some agitated replies in response, but all of this is self-inflected on him (and us). He has everything he desires and needs right in his hands and for some reason he is compelled to spoil all of it.

This is simply your OPINION of what is happening and who is behind what. The thing is no one is challenging your right to post this opinion unlike what others seem to intent on doing with different poster's opinions. In an anonymous forum like this conjecture like you are making about who is who or who is posting what or why leads to a lot of the nastiness we read here because what you end up doing is linking random things together that were not really intended to be linked together and overreacting. They really are just random posts that you are stringing together to form a pattern so that you can have some personal context. That context however does not really exist. What we really have on an anonymous forum like TS is literally chaos. It is unpredictable. People like me find posts like this one you made to be quite arrogant because you insist that your interpretation of chaos is more correct than mine when it is simply your opinion and no more valid than my opinion. All I see happening here is that you have succeeded in feeding into a Salem Witch hunt of sorts. I personally wish you would stop.

I wish YOU would stop. I'm exhausted. I'm not even getting to all of your posts because you are simply too prolific. And you're on other threads talking about no need to combat the so-called "hype," and yet you continue on and on. No different than when you've done this on any other topic in recent years. How about saying something nice about the Scorps? Are you glad that they are still alive? Or disappointed?

I got a couple of things for you to think about. You say it doesn't matter if it is you posting or not (even if almost all the posts are yours). Would you feel the same way if you knew a club DOC or coach of a rival was posting more than a 100 times a day with a laser focus aimed at reeling in and tamping down your club??? If you saw someone continually casting a negative shadow over anything that is not in their immediate interest?

And secondly, imagine if a parent of a Mewis or Brock or Andrews or Packwood did what you have done here? How do you think they would be viewed? Do you folks would just chalk that up to randomness....to chaotic, random chance? Would you wonder why a parent in that kind of position would render themselves so small? I know you won't think about any of this, because you never actually pause and think...but still.

It also is so humorous for you to write the above when as I respond to a post like this you are posting 3 or 4 more posts at the exact same time. The personal campaign you have waged here has got to be unprecedented in the annals of social media and online forums. Congrats.

Pot calling the kettle black. Dude you never stop. Why should anyone else. You cry like a baby BTW. Boo hoo. BTDT is making me soooo sad. I can't work.

Everyone's motivation differs, from player to player and parent to parent. My daughter finished playing her freshman year at an elite D1 university and it was the best experience for her. A huge time commitment for sure, but the right kid will use that fact to better manage her time. And it provided a ready made group of friends from the moment she arrived on campus. Her social circle expanded over the year to include non athletes, but her soccer teammates are her closest friends.

She received a partial scholarship, but that wasn't the goal. Aside from just loving to play and being able to compete at a much higher level on a club team than she had on her high school team, the other key goal with doing club was to have soccer give her an edge in gaining admission to a school that regularly turns away many academically strong students. The number 5 ranked student in her high school was declined and my daughter was admitted. Although a very good student, she was only in top 10 percent of her class, not the top 10. I highly doubt she would have been accepted without the athletic tip.

It's certainly not for everyone and some kids will not be able to handle the comittments and drop the sport, but she was told it's only happened a handful of times at her school over the past 5 years or so. Which leads me to believe that college soccer is a positive experience for most of the players.

Sorry but BC isn't "elite", nothing more than a really expensive High School for grades 13 through 16.

Are you saying that this has been Meehan's mother all along. It is nice to put a face with the constant. So instead of being Fred, we should actually be referring to Mary Lou. Makes more sense now.

This is type of ignorant post that more folks should complain about, but I guess most just ignore them as juvenile.

Why are 90% of the post I see on here so confrontational?
I came to this site figuring it would be a good place to get some info into the world of club soccer. Instead all I read is a bunch of negativity towards anyone who posts.
Is it all 13 year olds? Or are there truely that many angry adults with nothing better to do?

Any more questions?

Complaining does no good because this site isn't monitored to remove offensive, and frankly bizarre, posts like that. Funny thing is the actual school isn't even relevant. The idea was whether college soccer is worth it and whether club soccer is worth it. Best not to feed the trolls and eventually they will starve to death.
