Completely agreed.

Thanks.

I would suggest a stern talking to after the first offense with gradual progressing punishments.

Thanks.

I'm not the one to talk to about implementing this policy.

I'd say yes, unless you enjoy being a pedantic cunt.

Although it is a good topic, for me there is no clear cut answer, it depends in what context it is being used.

For example, I would say "I think the Bears will win the win the division", not "I think that we will win the division".

However, when speaking specifically about details, we makes it flow better and is quicker. For example, " I think that we should have went for it on 4th down", or "how many times outs do we have". Those sound a lot better than saying "I think the Bears should have went for it on 4th down" like you are some sort of a robot watching the game with no interest.

I didn't call anyone a cunt. Just suggested some people may enjoy acting like one.

Yeah but you don't have any timeouts or the ability to go for it on 4th down so it makes your statement inaccurate.

Will you be apologizing or quitting CCS for a while after you do all that?
