Some thoughts on earlier post . . .

Thanks to those who posted comments to the piece — Thoughts on a young goaltender — that I put up here earlier Monday (Nov. 2).
While I wasn’t at all surprised at some of the comments that followed, my mind continues to be boggled by some of them . . . even though they were expected.
Do some of you not read what you write before you post to a public forum? Or does the cloak of anonymity simply make you feel 10-feet tall and bullet-proof?
Allow me to point out that the first post, which came from the parent of a WHL player, and the one from Jess Rubenstein should be required reading by all WHL fans.
And take a close look at the posting from Marty Aalto, who touches on something that may be turning into one of those dirty, little secrets — the number of players who are leaving junior hockey before their time. How big a problem is this?
In closing, while I understand that the inane comments do not in anyway reflect the opinion or thoughts of the vast majority of hockey fans and people in general, I really find it sad that someone granted anonymity would take advantage of the situation to attack a young man . . . or any young person, for that matter.
