What you cannot do is fight with people, he will delete your posts. But there are plenty of other places where you can fight and insult people, so whats the problem from your end? If you personally didnt like it, fine. I dont recall PB being mandatory, it was there to read IF you wanted to.<br /><br />If anyone thinks this is a poor decision by the Islanders (and it is) please write to chris.dey@newyorkislanders.com and tell him how you feel.Chris TMChttp://www.themetalchick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135259876718899302.post-60656632535671123422009-07-31T10:10:30.827-04:002009-07-31T10:10:30.827-04:00Whether you liked the idea of the blog or not, it&...<b>Whether you liked the idea of the blog or not, it's a shame the Islanders don't see the value of having it around. I'm pretty sure this "internet thing" is going to work out, so why would they not have all the exposure? I wonder how many visitors their site gets per month? Maybe they were out shined. Like I said in the post, it's just surprising to me that the organization couldn't see the user / market value in continuing to sponsor such a property. </b>Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775229038865466527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135259876718899302.post-7404660314837122042009-07-31T09:43:26.518-04:002009-07-31T09:43:26.518-04:00Chris has done an amazing job of keeping the Islan...Chris has done an amazing job of keeping the Islanders in the news year round. Newsday's coverage sucks and they owned by Cablevision which owns the Rangers. My guess would be that the Isles are tired of their "team sponsored site" criticizing them.

Garth has made some good moves and Gordon has a system that the young Islanders are buying into. I look forward to this season, but the one big downer so far is the news about PointBlank and Chris Botta. I checked out that site at least 5 or 6 times a day looking for the latest news about my team. Thats now ending and I think its Mr. Wang's biggest mistake this year. hopefully, they will reconsider this decision.Frankie Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135259876718899302.post-39414726889695363062009-07-30T18:59:38.615-04:002009-07-30T18:59:38.615-04:00Once again the almighty buck is keeping the Isles ...Once again the almighty buck is keeping the Isles in the minor leagues. From Roy Boe thru John Spano to the group of no-nothing Milstiens we've had some quwstionable ownership. But Mr. Wang has tried to save the franchise and for that we must be grateful BUT some of his decisions Ie: Mike Milbury's long run as GM, Dipietro's ridiculous contract, Neil Smith fired to be replaced by our back-up goalie, dumping our radio broadcast team and his failure to hire a first rate experienced coach (always choosing the lowest possible guy on the salary scale)-well his decisions leave so much to be desired. It seems that each decision is a money decision...we are in big trouble. Kansas City beckons.<br /><br />MickeyBoy7Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
