Well, I would come up with a normal response to this...

But I've been thinking a lot lately about the types of posts on the message boards, and Tweets on Twitter, that I should respond to, because people are getting meaner and meaner to each other these days (as long as they are behind keyboards and not in-person) on Twitter and on message boards. And the answer I came up with is that I will only respond to posts that address me (and others) in a way in which a person would/should address another person face-to-face. So yeah, if somebody came up to me face to face and said to me "I take issue with an article that you wrote, and here are the reasons why" then they certainly would get a response, explanation, or what have you, because what they said is fair and it isn't rude or mean-spirited. But if somebody came up to me and said "I don't give a crap about this or that, your article is painful, and it's just sad" then I'd just move on and not even give them the time of day. I've actually never had anybody talk to me like that before face to face...so I'm not sure why people think that talking to people like that online is ok. Point being, and this goes for everybody, talk to people on this board like you would talk to them if you were speaking to them face to face. Even our subscribers are doing it more and more these days, and that's just sad. I get it. Social media has somehow made it socially acceptable to say things to other people online that you would never say to them if you met them. But there's no reason for our users to do it to each other. Be better than social media. ** Edited by Chris Coleman at 1/25/2023, 12:28:09 PM

I thought it was a weak article.
Pride_and_Joy 01/25/23 08:15 PM ET
Well, you're right, it was cheesy.
Chris ColemanAdmin 01/25/23 09:08 PM ET
I'm 100% here for the cheese.

So can we have a vote for an off-season, Cheeseburgers with CC article
Brewing_Hokie 01/25/23 09:21 PM ET
My dad's sports-writer friend used to do something similar.

Thought it was *cheesy*. Haha. Coming from you, no pun intended for sure.

People sure seem to get bent out of shape.

Sometimes it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it (ask my wife)**

Eating 21 cheeseburgers over the rest of the season shows your character
Bmackattack 01/25/23 02:35 PM ET
Mean posts on social media platforms are a dime a dozen, ignore them.

What's sad is that he wasn't already eating a cheeseburger

Is this TIC or serious?
tylerhokie 01/24/23 09:22 PM ET
It’s called humor

And whenever we can help hokiepro be less tense, the better for us all.**

Do you know if an article is going to be good or bad

Well, cheeseburger was in the title... So if you didn't want to read about

Yes, my mistake.

Not trolling. If it's in the title, it's reasonable to assume it will be a
