I've clarified this before but will again ... Whining about whining in a direct response to a whine, like your example, is perfectly acceptable because it is to be treated like a double negative, in other words, a positive. Starting a thread with a generic whine about whining is, I'm sorry to say, just more whining ....And for the record, though, whining about people whining about other people whining has an uncovered whining and is ultimately classified as a whine ...whining about whiners not following the rules of whining when whining about other people whining about whining is a partial whine.I'm going to need a ruling on that one ...

I am disappointed with the loss to UConn, especially since Pitt laid an egg against Utah earlier on Saturday, which left us with two losses to low quality teams.However, all this whining about the loss, threats to not attend homecoming, threats to cancel season tickets, threats to stop following the team, disrespectful posts about the late LRS, and other posts that make me want to puke, really makes this board a very negative experience.There is nothing wrong with being ticked off about the loss. There is nothing wrong with being ticked off about poor play and/or poor coaching. However, the ridiculous posting is just plain poor sportsmanship. We played like crap, UConn did not, and we lost the game. Take your lumps and prepare for the next game.This team and your alma mater needs your support. Please think before posting after a disappointing loss.I really don't like this as well, but just know that you won't change anything. It is what it is year-in year-out. Take it for what it's worth. I used to become emotional about it too regarding our fans message board diatribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course people are going to post things they don't really mean when their emotions are running high right after a loss or discuss a poorly executed play or coaching decision and whine, whine, whine. A wine and cheese board sounds good right about now, oh wait its only 9:30 a.m., never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
