If people don’t care for the tone here and want to go somewhere where things are discussed differently, no problem. They’re entitled to that view and course of action. Not everything is for everyone, and that’s fine. Fwiw I think there has been some barrel scraping on here wrt Skinner.
 
What? This is the only gymnastics forum on which I even post in recent years. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else. I actually really dislike sloppy execution and generally prefer cleaner gymnastics… potentially unlike the person with whom you have me confused. I feel that the current code does not properly balance execution/artistry and difficulty, but it is the code we have.

I pressed like on the above post because I could see the poster was being piled on. It does not indicate liking the “white guilt” portion of the comment, with which I disagree.

Multiple people calling you out is indicative that those people think you are wrong. Saying you are liking something you don’t agree with is confusing. Liking it says you agree with it!!

The part of the comment I like: " It seems to be part of the culture of this board to drag Mykayla as much as possible. It’s annoying, has become old"

The part of the comment I do not like- the white guilt thing

There is no half-like button, or complex reaction button. I find it likely that you’ve all chased that poster away as is, as was potentially the goal.
 
y’all just really should have come to my skinner side of things

does anyone think this something that happens with someone else though? I feel mykayla has a number of things that make her kind of an easy villain, but I agree it’s been a lot lately. But somebody said it happens with other gymnasts and I’d be curious to know who are they thinking, cause that’s not my experience. I´d pick the hate targets of this board as: 1- mykayla / 2- wolf turns / 3- fig
 
And it wasn’t just when the team was picked. They continued to pick apart every move she made. I remember a long thread on another forum ripping her for not having her hand over her heart while the anthem played, how she “sat” in the stands while her teammates competed in finals…
