NEM has good insight and points at times, but I'm sick of the "persecution complex" and whining.

It seems that every time I sign into this board, it is filled with non-football threads, that are just about people whining about each other, usually NEM vs the world.
My inclination as moderator is to just delete or lock those threads, but they get an awful lot of posts, so there may be people here who enjoy them.
I'd like everyones opinion. Should those type of threads live on as part of what the board is about, or should they be deleted?
I have an opinion AJ which relates to the heart of the subject of this thread: namely NEM against the world as it plays out here on PatsFans.com
This messageboard was the 1st one I ever joined, so I cut my teeth here. That I recognized early on about the looming presence that is the man from Phoenix here did not take long. Before long I found a second messageboard, ironically from a link posted here, that has become my primary board of choice to interact and learn from other Patriots fans.
While PatsFans.com is bookmarked to open when my browser starts every day, I do not interact here much if at all any longer.
A thread started by you observing how some Pats fans were acting like manic depressives over the path the team was traveling at times this past year really sealed the deal for me for not making this a board for me to participate and interact on when the 1st response was from the man from Phoenix attacking you for (in so many words) attacking HIM directly as the subject of your thread.
I didn't see it that way at all as you did not in any way allude and/or infer that you were directing your comments at him and had I been you I would have flushed this 1st responding ahoe right then and there.
so to directly answer your original question, Yes, I think threads that are whining contests ONLY from start to finish are worthy of deletion or locking from the main football forum here
but damn, sometimes they can be a source of entertainment

Either lock a thread when it turns into a p!$$ing match, or establish a new subforum for such nonsense and banish all such threads there. No need to delete a thread that perhaps started on other terms. Lets keep the football forum for football discussion.
EXACTLY...and, for the record let me ask you a question.
I start a lot of threads about a certain topic. Maybe too many, maybe not.
But when these threads getout of control, who is it that usually causes it to happen... certainly not me..... there is no logic to me doing that to my own thread. It usually starts with someone joining the thread, based on FOOTBALL conversation, and they,not I, turn it into a personal pissing contest. Do I get involved in the pissing contest? Yes, I probably do, but it was never I that initiated it...if someone disagrees with my views, then dlebate it, but instead some of them make it personal, and you know that is the fact.
You know that is the truth, dont you?
When Deion Branch's agent started a contest and made his debate public, did BB respond and bicker back? Become BB. Rise above the lunacy.

I think that any thread that degrades off topic should be moved and/or locked, depending on your best judgment. As long as its on topic and relevant, then its fair game.
I dont initiate the pissing contests, plain and simple.
I'm sorry, but, you started a thread titled "let's do this again" after the initial pissing contest had fallen to page 2. So, re-evaluate your idea of truth.
