I understand why there is a mute option and that by using it you can eliminate people who like to flame or make personal attacks. However, I am also a person who is willing to accept that there are opinions that are different than my own. I am open to having conversations on all aspects of Utah athletics. By muting people while you could argue they don't add much value with personal attacks I feel it also mutes opposing opinions. I don't condone personal attacks and definitely believe people should be able to make an argument without attacking the person, I just don't believe the mute all option is the answer. If you're old enough to pay for a site, you should also be old enough to have a valid discussion even with people who's opinion is 180 degrees from your own. To this day I will argue that as a ticket holder my first belief is that Chris Hill should make my experience fantastic before he allows more people into the stadium. Because if the stadium expands by 10K people and it makes the restroom issue that much worse, I am going to be PISSED..probably both figuratively and literally. Maybe I grew up in a different time when if somebody kept annoying the poop out of you the best thing to do would be to punch him in the face. That's still my stance here, learn to behave or get kicked to the curb. Rate now:

If I owe you an apology please let me know and I will fulfill your wish. Although...since you have muted me I guess you will not see this message.

I will try to be less snarky. I wish to apologize to anyone who I had personally attacked on this site (AZUTE comes to mind from a few years back). That is not who I want to be. I may have an opinion...even strong opinions that are not in line with everyone else, but I do not think it is OK to attack any other poster personally. Disagree with me all you want, but try, as I promise as well, to not attack people personally. Of course the real test for me in the snarky department will come some time in November when we fail to put the ball over the goal line after 1st and Goal from the 3 yard line or in January when our basketball team throws the ball all over the gym...those are the times that try.
