It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yep.The flip side of this is that expressing optimism, happiness, enthusiasm, and satisfaction is considered being disloyal by these folks. Those emotions need to be countered and discounted. How did "homer" become an insult when that's the definition of membership in a fans' forum?
Who cares if someone is overly optimistic or pessimistic? You and I both know that this is one of the more optimistic boards out there, regardless. Like I said, it is just football. The fate of the free world isn’t at stake over what we are discussing on here.Yep.
There is a very fine line between fact-based criticism and whining.
Many posters on this board don't know the difference.
Thats not what I posted.Who cares if someone is overly optimistic or pessimistic? You and I both know that this is one of the more optimistic boards out there, regardless. Like I said, it is just football. The fate of the free world isn’t at stake over what we are discussing on here.
So then mute those people if you feel that they have something to offer in other threads, but you’re tired of reading their stuff in this one. The mute option has been a godsend for people who don’t want to put others on ignore for those reasons. If you don’t like what they have to offer in general, ignore them. I’m just not sure why so many people care what other posters think or say to the point where a thread about roster cutdowns has become a Class A b.itchfest. And it’s not just you. Some of what grown men are writing on here is cringe.Thats not what I posted.
Fact-based criticism vs incessant whining is the issue here.
If you came out and said they are going 5-12 this year because of x, y and z that is totally fine. I wouldn't agree with it or like it but it's your opinion supported by your observations.
So why bother?I'm not suggesting anything be done unilaterally. If you have dozens of posters calling out the same poster for being a whiney ***** who makes it a daily activity bashing actual fans, there is a problem.
I'm happy to keep calling out/battling these clowns but it isn't very fun.
That's a great question.So why bother?
If they’re not changing, then that meets the definition of insanity.That's a great question.
Maybe because i'm an over-protective d-bag who will defend things that I care about who has a short fuse for negativity and complaining.

Speak for yourself, pal. I’m the picture of perfect mental health.We are all insane. We all limp. Keep slapping the whiny *****es. Haha. Too funny.
Every now and then i'll bang someone over the head who went over the deep end and they'll come back.If they’re not changing, then that meets the definition of insanity.

Thank you for illustrating my point.Hi Ken,
Why are offended if "people" are offended? It goes both ways. If you want to express an opinion, and "people" want to express an opinion, why are not both opinions OK? Why do you feel "belittled"? Are other "people's" having an opinion not similar to you having an opinion?
Why do you find it sad that "people" do not agree with you? Is it because you have been "kicking around here for a long time", and therefore, your opinions should be respected?
I agree with you that "we should let people express how they feel". And if the "people" disagree with Ken, that is OK. Ken should accept that and not be offended when people express how they feel (which is not how Ken feels
I'm ok with the criticism and the debate. I don't want to lose that.Maybe the two of us should start a sub forum.
This is my opinion on that and perhaps I am wrong but I think many fans share this.So then mute those people if you feel that they have something to offer in other threads, but you’re tired of reading their stuff in this one.
