I have a theory about an ongoing message board activity here ...

I think the people who visit this board enjoy seeing GCHokie34 spar with his "haters." I get almost zero complaints about the back-and-forth when he gets into it with people. Me personally, although it gets contentious, neither side (GC or everyone else, haha) gets personal or violates the board terms of use, at lease not egregiously so. I don't see any posts of the "You're a stupid (xxxx)hole" variety. And I enjoy reading both sides of the argument. Gives me food for thought. That said, sometimes behavior that is bad for the boards does NOT get reported, and instead people just tolerate it silently, or just leave (which is worse). So, what say you, board denizens? ** Edited by Will Stewart at 3/25/2025, 2:26:20 PM ** Edited by Will Stewart at 3/25/2025, 8:23:13 PM

I absolutely stay away from this board because of GC34. Absolutely.

He's the only poster I "follow"**

I enjoy GC's posts a lot though he seems a bit holier than thou sometimes.

I find interest and value in his general takes, but I find the……

I appreciate his input. He often is myopic in his views. But that’s fine
GBOHokie • 03/25/25 08:52 PM ET
Thanks for asking. I like the realistic perspective that GCHokie34 brings.
vtbball80 • 03/25/25 08:48 PM ET
Very much appreciate the kind words all around
GCHokie34 • 03/25/25 08:30 PM ET
I have absolutely no idea who you are or what you've posted.

GC's posts are extremely knowledgeable and most TSLers that I know greatly

Reading GCHokie34 posts are why I come here. He clearly has insight
CobbCountyHokie • 03/25/25 04:38 PM ET
As a former coach I agree with a lot of what GC says.
1980VT • 03/25/25 04:32 PM ET
Oh I'm fine with it, some intelligent sparring about the program is good.**
4dhokies • 03/25/25 04:25 PM ET
I'll be honest....

BG Hokie • 03/25/25 03:39 PM ET
The VT fanbase isn't highly educated about college hoops

He and vthokieq excel at responding to snark and posters trying to engage
WestEndHokie39 • 03/25/25 03:29 PM ET
I'm not sure if this is a compliment or an insult. ;-)
vthokieq • 03/25/25 03:52 PM ET
This. He’ll always get the last word. **

I like GCHokie34's post, seems to know more than I do, but that isn't ,,,
vthhhi • 03/25/25 03:14 PM ET
GC has a condescending and cocky attitude at times BUT it is
VintonHokies • 03/25/25 03:04 PM ET
I think you're wise to consider that those who don't enjoy it have left. **
