I have to disagree with Ross Bracco's criticism of Rich Vehlow. Now, ...sort of. Now, while Rich's criticisms may have been "diatribe", it doesnt justify harassing phone calls. Perhaps, Rich deserved to be flamed on the net but a harassing phone call is out of line. Ross wrote, "You' re a good guy in real life, but your net image is a little rough around the edges." Perhaps, but Rich did not hide when he made the criticism. He stood up and was not afraid to be associated with that opinion. If one disagrees with Rich, one should not be afraid to dispute Rich's comments. Rich's personality is not the issue (if it were, i owuldnt be defending an RIP fan :) The issue is, 'what is an appropriate response to a net posting' A response via the net would seem to be appropriate. Even discussing the issue with Rich face to face might be appropriate. Leaving gutless, anonymous threatening phone calls is NOT appropriate in my book nor do I think it is appropriate in the books of most hockey-L'ers. (and Bob Gailbreath, I dont consider disgust with threatening phone calls to be "petty bickering. There's not much that can prob be done about it by anyone (except the perpetrator) on the list but I think it was appropriate for Rich to report it) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BRI FARENELL CLARKSON '95 [log in to unmask] ECAC and AHL contact for rec.sport.hockey Boston Bruins rule! join the AHL mailing list: [log in to unmask] GO USA HOCKEY!
