Posted by Bob Salas on 6/11/2007, 1:21 pm, in reply to "Hoopsboard closing --upshot" Over the years I have been in contact with Kevin regarding problems he has had with AR and his attempt to resolve them with him. But over the years it has just gotten worse, despite AR's promises to behave as an adult. I like Mark's idea of not posting on ST. I would go one step further: Do not visit ST. Most of his articles are cut and paste jobs from national or local news sites that you can read first hand at the source. I do not visit ST and have not in nearly 2 seasons. I operated my site for two seasons after ST and had to battle with his constant attacking and abusing me and my visitors. He made some horiible and vile comments to a number of visitors to my site. Policing my site and deleting his posts became a full time job for me. I jsut became too much. But I guess what really made me decide to toss in the towle was when I noticed that the same people he was attacking on my site were now posting on his site and some were even writing articles for him. I could not understand how they could one week curse him, then the next kiss his ring. I took that as a great personal betrayl. So I closed my site and curtailed my visits to SJS websites. I followed SJS football, but this also coincided with the resurgence of USC football. I took the time I was putting into my website and started visiting USC websites. I also started getting more involved with my kids's sports and school activities. It has been great. So while I visit this site a few time each month and the official site each week, I very rarely go to ST.

I know how hard Kevin worked to make his site a first hand source for Spartan hoops. I know all too well the paid na sadness of having to close down a site after having put in so much time and effort.
