On Ostracism

[G Estate]

All this because fans said there should be a coaching change in basketball.

Doc,
I know you are a big advocate for the university and promote it the best you can. I do really appreciate that.
However, there is also another rapidly growing entity trying to promote the University and the administration is apparently refusing to cooperate. What is your opinion on the University’s refusal to allow the guys at Ragin Review to interview our own coaches, when all of our opponents from other schools apparently embrace that opportunity?
I think UL needs to take advantage of every opportunity to be promoted and not shun those trying to spread the good word about what we have here.
Your thoughts?

I came back here to re-read the comments.

I suggested an improvement. I never mentioned a utopia. I never even thought about it.

So why do some people, instead of engaging in useful discussion, simply distort the issue to the fantastic? What is the objective of taking a simple suggestion, and stretching it to the ridiculous?

It's puzzling.

Almost like when people here suggest we should invest in athletics, as they strengthens our bond with graduates and Lafayette residents and someone comes along claiming that doing so would be trying to “out LSU LSU.”
