24. appreciate the feedback and sorry you feel as you do. agree that sometimes the posters don’t always respect others but for the most part it has been pretty mild.
I’ve seen much worse on other sites.

25. sorry to disagree with you but when getting back ‘on point’ the point was the information given was incorrect. and when that was pointed out the reaction turned somewhat hostile towards me and others. So I won’t apologize for writing ‘actually it was TCU over Texas’ instead of framing it as you suggested with a ‘believe it was …’

It’s how I would have said it to someone in person and you would have known by the inflection of voice that it was not a one-upmanship.

Unfortunately intent of written words often can be misinterpreted. there was nothing more intended in the statement other than to clear up the error and get back to writing my story.

Perhaps some of my replies come off as short but I am usually in the middle of work and check back on the blog when I have time. and what I have time for are quick responses, particularly when getting information correct.

This blog is an open forum, if it weren’t the ability for others to post would not be allowed. I appreciate the knowledgeable fans and the info given out. but when it becomes disrespectful and digresses to the point of schoolyard name calling, the line needs to be drawn

24, Whooa….. I’m not sure your reply helps. This Blog is a wonderful source of high speed volleyball information posted by some very informative minds. The past weeks posts by both KB and Mav and others on RPI were enlightening to those who do not have the time to look up this type of information. It clarified so much at least for me on how these polls work.

Now back on point, it was not so much that it was Tech or TCU that upset Texas, it was the fact that Texas was upset by a team that was out of the polls. I agree with KB on this. In reading the dialog and having delt with electronic banter in the corporate world at all levels for a couple of decades, i can only say we need to be mindful, intended or not, that our replies if not framed correctly while coming from higher sources, may be construed a “one-upmanship” . IMO Perhaps a better reply would have been “What an upset but i believe it was Texas Tech”. Of course its just my opinion.

Bottomline: we lose productive dialog and information when we move focus off from the information provided. I sure hope we don’t lose any valuable future insight on the technical aspects of VB as well as the insights provided on Na Wahine by losing blog posters who have so much knowledge.

Aloha Cindy. Mahalo for all you do. I appreciate the updates, scores and comments. After seeing you openly disrespected on this thread, and given no apology when you are right and the poster is wrong, I cannot stop by anymore to visit your Volleyshots Blog and see this kind of behavior. There are all kinds of people who can post so I know it’s difficult to control. I actually think you are too kind to the rude and negative posters. In my opinion this posters behavior is not welcome to the world of Wahine Volleyball. So I will choose to boycott the Volleyshots Blog until there is more appropriate posts and behavior. I’m sure my post here will be deleted, but I just wanted you to know that although I am a big fan of the Wahine Volleyball team, the Volleyshots Blog has problems. Mahalo again for all you do and take care. Let’s go Bows!

Well, Penn State would move up to number two and now it’s a question of whether Texas will drop below Hawaii. The Wahine have had only two road matches all year, compared to like at least five for all other teams in the AVCA top 25. Of course November will make it up, so that the Wahine will end up with 8 road matches altogether. We are hoping, praying and everything else that we can, that The Wahine’s only loss this season will be against Mike Sealy’s Lady Bruins. Imagine if the Wahine were undefeated, then they may be in the top four by now. Of course the immense pressure that would bring would not be great. The drive for five is still alive!! Kawika and Erik have grown up and won their National Championship at Stanford, with their proud Dad watching from the stands! Now it’s the Wahine that needs to make our State proud again!! Let’s go ‘bows, let’s go ‘bows, let’s go ‘bows !!! The 5,500 we are averaging this year will not fit into tiny Klum Gym, which is still standing in the lower campus. If anyone is interested, I graduated from the UH in 1981.

14 … good news about Burns and Higgins. Hoping that Burns can still preserve her redshirt/medical redshirt year if that’s the plan she and Shoji have worked out. In any case, bet she’s beyond relieved about being cleared to practice. It must have felt like forever for her.
