Violent Behavior

We need to address the issue of Violent Behavior.
Here at Zion Volleyball we will be the first to admit that we enjoy a bit of friendly banter during our games. We're all (technically at least) adults. We don't take offense or choose to be slighted when another player takes it upon herself to insult us. Almost anything is fair game. We are free to rank on your hair color, height, choice of exercise clothing or inability to hit the ball. We may also rank on any former attitudes (remembered from high school days) or former extra curricular activities (read "the fact that you were a cheerleader").
However, when emotions start to run high, we sometimes see break-outs of violence - from throwing the volleyball at another player to actually tackling them to the ground (or making an earnest attempt to do so).
Ladies, let's keep it verbal. If you can't take the heat - get some hot flash medication.

Um, I seem to recall a time you took me down to the ground, and broke my longest fingernail in the process. But I'll let that one go, and I agree we should keep it verbal. It hurts more that way, so that's a plus.
