Default What's the point of...

A message board if there are certain things posters are allowed to write about? Seriously? I have read over a hundred threads this entire weekend, raging from intelligent to the absurd...but who are we to say what a "good" post is and what a "horrible" one is? I see tons of posts saying "well this is a stupid topic, people are alarmists, etc"...I see ones that say "if only more topics were like this one"...But what's the point? People come here to vent, form opinions, etc. Although I agree that there is a fine line between intelligent discussion and absurd...what the hell is the point of everyone bickering or every time there is a thread that YOU do not like you always have to chime in and say "boring", "ridiculous", "your insane", "you are clearly not a true fan", etc...

This board is cluttered with mess, half of it people bickering back and forth between what is a suitable post and what isn't. I was under the impression we had a couple of moderators...not that everyone here felt it necessary to be a moderator. I think we all need to get off our high horses and breath. What' s the point of sabotaging someone's thread just because you think it is stupid? What may seem stupid to you might bring up some valid points to someone else. Some actual good discussion may occur if people are more opened minded rather than sticking it to people who they disagree with...Just because someone starts a "Say Randy Moss doesn't come back" thread, doesn't mean you need to jump into the conversation and say "oh the sky is falling, what a dumb comment"...seriously...whats the point of having a chat forum then...I just don't get it....dumb fighting over dumb things...which in turn could lead to good discussion if everyone just relaxes...

I don't know, just my two cents...but I guess you can file this thread under "unnecessary and pointless"....

Particularly homers who defend every Pat to the bitter end.

The fact is, and I will say it:

-Belichick coached the worst game of his career and deserves a lot of ***** over that pathetic Super Bowl performance

-Brady wasn't giving 100% the last few games and deserves ***** for that

-Randy Moss just wants to GET PAID, he's an arrogant bastard, face it

So is this a "bad post" that means "I'm not a true fan"... well so be it, I'm pissed.

I think its good to get a fair share of both positive and negative views of the Patriots, but it just seems that if anything negative ever comes out...even a "Say if Moss doesnt come back" thread...it get hijacked....I just dont see the point...

Ah yes the ever popular..."criticize, but offer nothing constructive" post.

Just tell me one thing. What coach do you want instead? Which QB?

You can be critical, but realize that your criticism, in the grad scheme of things, doesn't matter. To anyone. And it certainly isn't going to change things, or change the way BB and the patriots run their organization. So really, the whole thing is a wasted effort on your behalf.

The greatest team of all-time got beat by a mediocre Giants team. Riddle me that.

Belichick and Brady are the best in the league, but they f'ed up royally that game, period, and it cost us a Super Bowl.

I agree...Look, I can't stand crazy pessimists...But I also cannot stand people who won't stop drinking the kool-aid without coming up for air...There are some strengths to this team, but also some clear weaknesses. Why can't these things be brought up or talked about? You should be able to talk about these things without being called a fair weather fan...Or my personal favorite "when you get more than x amounts of posts, come talking to me then"...as if how many posts you had show how much intelligence you have when it comes to the patriots...

Read the previous poster's post.

He claims Brady wasn't trying his hardest this postseason.

What do you expect from us? Not to call a guy like that out??! I mean, if someone is going to post what someone else considers idiocy, why NOT point that out?

They weren't trying hard enough.

Apparently.

I love it how when during the season Moss was performing like a beast, everyone was saying ONLY good things. Belichick did coach the worst game of his career, but too bad he coached 18 straight perfect games and couldn't top it off. I can't argue with the Brady thing though, that spark just wasn't there.
