I always thought poster bashing was a bigger problem than fighter bashing. Pro athletes are used to criticism--rolls off their back.

They're both a problem in my opinion, and it makes it hard to ask a fighter to join the discussion or do a Q&A when the board is littered with negative/bashing comments. Let alone the respect that I feel they deserve. Those two reasons are why it won't be allowed here.

Saying "why the fuck did he do that dumb shit?" or "he fought like shit tonight" or "he got his ass beat"...that stuff is going to be said in fight threads and is understandable. But to have multiple page threads, bashing a guy like Ben Askren, simply because someone doesn't like his fighting style, or because he doesn't fight in the UFC. Or calling fighters, losers, faggots, cunts, etc. That's absurd and should never happen by people that truly love the sport, and appreciate the people that participate in it.

Just throwing that out there so everyone is on the same page, because I admit. the waters can get muddy.

Well, put yourself in their position. If you are a pro fighter lurking on a message board or trying to engage in conversation and there are groups of people putting down your skill, your team, your personality etc., it's going to hurt your feelings. The problem with the internet is the anonymous nature of it. We aren't engaging in face to face conversation so people tend to be a lot more bold than they would in person and they forget that they are talking to another human being just like them. That person has feelings just like everyone else, whether they are a pro fighter or some joe off the street.

That was just an opinion, StretchPlum's statement probably has some truth in it. Doesn't seem like he's promoting fighter bashing.

You have to want to evolve, and give instead of take.
