How to Respond to Chatter

After our performance in Vegas, there was a lot of talk on RSD about us. It mainly centered on the question of whether we are a national caliber team or just lucky. Some posts were quite favorable (thank you Jim Haan), but others were rather dismissive. I was quite surprised at how adamantly angry some posters got over the suggestion of us being a good team.

Now, I am all for trash talk, but I believe it should be smart trash talk. Speculating over whether or not a team is gonna make it to a tournament that is months away is not smart trash talk. A lot can happen between now and then. Of course, we’ll be there, and we will dominate.

My advice is this: if you find you must respond to certain users of RSD, just be as hilarious as possible. The people that look stupid are the ones that take themselves too seriously. Ultimate is about fun, not spewing crap all over a google group in order to garner attention.

yeah, my advice would be never post about your team. if you absolutely have to post, make up a gmail account and post under that name.
