A quick refresher concerning our Posting Guidelines...

Has it always been a rule that we can't criticize players because someone that personally knows them may lurk or post here?

Aside from the reasons watt posted, yes. We have had Norman Hand, Jared Tomich, and Pierre Thomas's sister actually posting on the board in the past. There may have been others as well, but they're the only ones I can recall. No doubt there have been Saints immediate family posting and lurking that I'm not aware of.
