OCYS Consolidated Thread

"Normal" discourse? The venomous and vitriolic crap posted by some is anything but normal.

And yes, it's not confined to OCYS/FKK but such garbage isn't "talking soccer", rather, it's cowardly "talking trash" - about real people, more importantly, about real kids, real youth players

Emotion and passion are one thing but cheap and classless shots taken while hiding behind a computer is NOT normal discourse.

Normal discourse happened, the powers at be did not do a thing and then OC cheated at everything else.

Getting the word out to the masses is part of the process.

And apparently, your solution to what YOU deem "venomous and vitriolic crap" is to attempt to silence it. You want to prevent others from posting opinion you find offensive. You want to prevent others from saying things you don't approve.

God Bless America.

And, the moronic poll proves NOTHING.... freedom of speech is there, for EXACTLY that 5% that you DON'T agree with!

That is the response you get when you try a reasoned argument/opinion. Do not debate with them, everything they post is designed to drag you into a war. Do not feed the troll.

It's not your role to police others' thoughts and opinons. People post things all over this site that others disagree with- and yes, some of those things are in poor taste. I read some things here about my club or individuals associated with my club that I believe are nothing more than mean rumor or outright BS.

I usually respond by posting facts or information contrary to the original poster. The difference in my approach and yours is that you (or whoever) tries to silence others by calling them "troll" and spamming the thread with pictures.

And this is the response of someone that is not interested in anthers viewpoint....just silencing the other person

Very weak turnout compared to the TBU Adidas Cup Tourney. Why not just cancel it and enter the TBU Tourney?

I don't think they'll cancel- that would be a disaster at this late point. It's obvious they will need to combine senior age groups, though. The bulk of entrants is for 8v8 play, so they'll definitely have a junior tournament to play.

Actually we have pretty much established it is just one or two teens from FKK who live on this board who are responsible for 90% of the garbage. Just look at the poll results on this thread.

They are now desperately trying to re-ignite the war and no-one is biting. It is driving them crazy. Now don't feed the troll.

This one says it all concerning your POLL!
