How about "ignorant" "rude" and "poorly worded?" Is that assessment any better there, Rainman?
if i had a magic list of all the cylcone fans in the world, i would of emailed it to them. i dont. so how would you gone about sharing your concern of this situation?
I disagree with you assisting the local sports talk radio hosts in misinterpreting the email and making this a story. You got tough with Pollard, he hit you back and then you had nothing so you threw him under the bus "unknowingly."

No. You didn't like your answer and went looking to stir something up. Juvenile and immature.
This is known as being an attention *****.
You forgot childish. :wink:
I'm sure they wouldn't let you.. But I would still ask... Never hurts to ask...
Best thing the government would do is Not Respond to what you wrote... Or Take the HIGH ROAD
One word: Respectfully. You might want to look that one up, because you're severely lacking. Professional communication is one thing, being a ******** is another. You were a jerk, and got snapped back at, and you're the one crying about it.
It's like you hit your sister, then she hit you back, and you cried to your parents about it.

Who sent this in through the mail? I have to assume it was ISU office of the AD and not the "fan"(?). Interesting that this should go to a member of the media from the AD's office. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...might be brilliant, actually. Makes the point that everyone needs to do their part for the whole thing to work. I think it is something that I might have done, were I the AD. But, if I were the AD, I think I would have removed or blacked out the fan's name. Interesting......
Hate to do this to you kid....nevermind I dont
You are right! Your letter was full of maturity and a level head
Needless to say, Pollard should already know how to deal with criticism at all levels, including people making offensive remarks via email, phone, in person, etc. If you have a job as "high profile" as his, it's something you hopefully know how to deal with after a handful of years on the job regardless of whether you've made the mistake of "lashing out" at someone and then regretted it or not.
Even if you are extremely angry at what someone says to you and it's even majorly offensive to you, if you are in that high profile position and your words have your name (or image) attached to them, you should probably take a step back and realize what you're saying. You are not only representing yourself, but you're representing an entire part of, or whole of, an organization.
More than likely, the government would put you on a terrorist watch list and monitor any communications you make, plus audit you.
You don't tell me how to live my life but you tell the AD! Go celebrate Marquette's win over St Johns
This thought had occurred to me while reading his original email: it appears as though he copied and pasted stuff that was said on this board word for word. I don't believe that much of what he wrote was original but was taken from posts on here.
This guy signs up for CycloneFanatic one day after the press conference. He reads a bunch of stuff that people are saying on here. Sees an opportunity to try to stir things up a bit and so zips off his email.
It was snotty. In 10 years you are going to look back on this and put it on the list of stupid things you did when you were in college.
