remote controller 143 Posted June 10, 2006 Nan, I'm starting to have second thoughts about being in the mock.....not because I won't enjoy it, because I will, but because it would be nice to be more inclusive of others in this endeavor. I'm getting to do a mock right now and with so many wanting to be involved in the Jetdoc mock, it feels wrong to turn around and do another one while depriving someone else of the opportunity. What do you think? I could still be involved as a commentary guy of some sort, but I don't want to give off the impression that the mocks around here are for certain people only because that's definitely not the case. I would prefer you stay in, but you make the call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 547 Posted June 10, 2006 there was some misunderstanding with the whole june mock thing. i think a few just thought it was odd to make a post seeming to invite people there for discussion when it was intended just to show people the picks. And now, several days later, the misunderstanding apparently still exists. The post WAS inviting people there for discussion. It was always intended as such. How people got confused about that I will NEVER figure out. For the final time, there was never an intention to post anything on the Main Board that did not allow for complete and unadulterated discussion. The only thread that was meant to be discussion only by mockers was on the June Mock board.....as is the custom. No thread on the Main Board is ever just to "show picks". The Main Board is for public consumption. All we were trying to determine is how we might invite guests to come over to the JUNE MOCK BOARD and make comments THERE. It got blown completely out of proportion....all we were trying to do is be MORE inclusive than usual, not less. As for the Jetdoc Mock, you make excellent points. The Mocking Station will be open all summer long as is Antsports. This is a traditional mock and I should feel honored to be invited and I am......therefore, I will stay on and it should be fun.

NAn 39 Posted June 11, 2006 FUMBLE I'm with Bomb on this one Fumble. I understand your concern considering the June Mock thread but as has been said, EVERYONE is free to mock at mock station or other sites. We'll keep you on and we'll deal more clearly with any threads we post here (if at all), plus looks like we will get some new blood in anyway as we'll likely have a couple of spots open. SHANE FALCO, ERB047, JB Look for new thread about 'Jetdoc Mock'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
