UADavid Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Sorry but I call a spade a spade and you are being dishonest by twisting words. UA does not have walls. It has boundaries. Having said that, UA reaches out to the community all the time and UA is not distancing itself from the community by having physical integrity and its own campus You are making crap up and that makes you dishonest. Another example of your dishonesty is implying that I said that Dambrot wants to move UA backwards. No he doesn't. Word has it that he supports an on-campus arena and not a downtown arena. And as far as agreements go, part of the agreement to build a downtown arena included UA owning and running a hotel for two years for the city (The Quaker Inn at The University of Akron). Guess what? That agreement went poof along with the stipulation to build a downtown arena. UA will now run a hotel for the city for the forseeable future and is now free to build the arena on its campus and not downtown.How does this invalidate the agreement? Keeping rooms available for longer than two years invalidates nothing. Crossing Exchange St. is not pedestrian friendly and is equally outside the campus footprint as CBA, Polsky, and a possible new arena. The footprint of campus is evolving and will continue to do so no matter how forcefully anyone protests. Lighten up, we have you on record as being opposed to a downtown arena. BTW, the mayor is on record as saying there wasn't room for the stadium downtown. I do seem to remember him being upset that it wasn't closer. I disagree with him when he says Akron turned money back for the JAR project. I was on campus at that time and they had to scale back the project for lack of funds. It was supposed to seat some 9500 when it was first proposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 One of the reasons that I participate here but not on other sports forums is because Zips Nation is dedicated to maintaining civil discussion. So I am naturally in favor of strict enforcement of the basic rules of civility on these boards.It only takes one person to start a "name calling and hair pulling" battle. But it requires everyone's cooperation to end it for good and return Zips Nation to its normal civil atmosphere. It's tempting to want to respond in kind to insulting comments. But the solution to reducing incivility is not to generate more incivility.I believe that the best way to eliminate the few isolated cases of incivility on Zips Nation is to use the "Report" button and let the moderators handle it before an otherwise civil thread devolves into general name calling and hair pulling.

Keep it up and it'll be locked.Go Zips!!!so now I can say how I really feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
