What makes a pat on the back any more desirable than a disdain for failure? [/quote]
Are you really looking for the difference?
Feel good moment
[quote=""Bruiser""]Exactly, well most people anyway. And all the more reason to criticize (or praise) when warranted.
So I am positive message board words of praise or criticism have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the fate of indoor football. The poor schmucks who got booted from Quad Cities (or pick whatever team currently in trouble) worked just as hard to make it a success as those in Spokane (or insert your fav "premier" team here)
WHich is why I'm perplexed why anyone actually cares what is written here or on any other board then. What makes a pat on the back any more desirable than a disdain for failure? Both should spur a yearning to pick it up a notch.[/quote]
Your last sentence is correct - the pat on the back, though, shows that "okay, the steps we've made so far are accomplishing something" such that the future work that is still required won't be wasted on repeating what is already done OK.

As it pertains to incentive for doing a better job, yes.
To imply that all you seek is praise is juvenile at best,
akin to a grown adult seeking comfort in suckling mommy's
teat.
Criticism is the catalyst for the determined strides towards
perfection.
