Blog etiquette

Now I know what staffer Jill Painter was so frustrated about while I was on vacation. It seems every post is turning into a UCLA-USC bickering session back and forth.
A player transfers, and it turns into something about USC and Tim Floyd’s character, or ripping each other with no UCLA context.
So I will make it simple — If it continues, the comments section gets turned off, people get banned (including their IP addresses).
If you want to argue like 6-year-olds, find a way to exchange email addresses, phone numbers or IMs, and deal with it that way so the other 99 percent of the people that visit the blog don’t have to deal with it.
