Alright Freud,
1.) First off, I know I'm right. (I always am, don't you know that?) Which is why there are about 10 people in this thread who agree with me. The past has repeated itself several times already in that there are infinite experiences people have had with one person (Beebad) that has defined him and our opinions of him over a four year period. It's not just a handful of cases or based over a short period of time.
2.) And if he wants to turn things around, that's totally up to him not us. He is more than capable of swallowing a little pride, showing some humility and letting people know that he was a complete a$$hole.
And as far as GT needing all of its fans, I would agree. But what is your definition of fan? Mine is someone who supports the team, cheers for the team, and doesn't insult and take cheap shots at players, recruits, other fans, alumni, the traditions we pride ourselves on, and the school itself. I'm not a Gailey fan, but even I think its totally ridiculous and insulting to GT when GT won a football game under Chan Gailey, he closed down his website, only to open it back up when Gailey lost.
You can criticize things all you want but you don't have to insult players, recruits, fans, alumni, traditions and Georgia Tech itself needlessly in order to accomplish that which he has done on more than a few occassions.
Beebad has in some way, shape or format sh!t on every aspect of the school and program you and I both are fans of. If you are new and haven't been around to see it, then you probably don't need to lecture those that have an actual bearing of reference on the subject.
Forgive and forget? I think most people here are fair and at some point were willing to do just that. Problem is it hasn't done us any good. So we just forget. Out of sight, out of mind. Ignoring him is the easiest thing we can do, until a guy like Adamm and yourself come along and start promoting him on this board.
In that case, I'm going to tell you to shut the #$@! up because we don't want to hear it. Which up until now we were all trying to do in a tactful Christian way as I'm sure you can appreciate.
Bottom line is this:
None of us have a problem with Beebad anymore because he has his own forum and we can dig that.The problem occured when Adamm decided to promote Beebad on this board in effect shoving a guy we already don't like in our face.
