That's a slippery slope. I'll settle for Uno the person not having his team do early tryouts and not liking it and telling us he doesn't like it and Uno the businessman providing an unbiased, open and most importantly (within reason) uncensored forum for all of us.

What you're asking him to do would change the Bucket in ways I don't think we would really want it changed.

In my opinion...



Every business decision comes at a price. The trick is to evaluating all the cost factors which at times includes public image. Once you gathered and analyzed all pertinent data you make a choice. At times the actual cost is not truly known for some time, particularly if it involves a PR strategy.

In this case:

1. Shut down the tryout postings until a future date and demonstrate that HB walks the talk and possible upset a few paying customers. Great PR but is the price to high? In my opinion if it eliminates one injury the price is worth it. But that is just me

2. Do noting, keep the status quo and not lose a single paying customer. This would also confirm that HB is more interested in their bottom line than the well being of a teenage girl and his post was disingenuous. Not good PR, but no immediate effect on revenue.

Isn’t uno with MG. You might want to check this.

I have an idea...since you're endorsing censorship on HB why don't Uno and Spaz start with removing your holier-than-thou unrealistic BS and make you just go away? Good for them and lucky for you that they won't because they believe in free speech and maintaining an unbiased, uncensored open forum.

I have another idea...why don't you start your own site? We'll meet you over there.

Honest... :lol:


It’s a bitch when facts get in the way of your perceived reality. Did you bother checking the link or did I just push the right button that set off your tantrum. :lol: :lol:

I sure hope your negative karma does not get in the way of your kid getting an offer. Just sayin.....



Its all good No worries. ;) ;) ;)

Hey vida, I would jump on PR's domain idea, it's still available. The other disgruntled HB trolls may steal it from you. http://www.softballsitethatsux.com



DD you're such a fool and you have a keyboard, got to luv it
