Go post JD, TP, i've never had a problem with your posts, they are always well thought out criticisms.
The posts that i think people have a problem with aren't the well thought out criticisms you describe in your post, they are posts like the OP of one of the threads to the right which can be summed up as
"we suck. lets just call the season, we're done."
or posts in the game thread such as
"like clockwork, here comes another collapse"
and such.
Negative criticism is fine, as is "god this team sucks" posts. It's a message board and you can post whatever you want. I enjoy productive discussions of the teams problems, we certainly have some right now.
But by the same token, yes, i do get irked and dismissive about posts in the "we suck now lol." vein.
Criticism is fine, we certainly have alot of problems. But it's also fine for certain posters, and i'll out myself as one, to be turned off (to such an extent that i no longer go in the game threads) by seeing "OMG were awful, no chance to win this year" posts in the game thread, and watching those posters respond to anyone posting something positive by calling them a homer. I think those kind of posts have no merit.
Doesn't mean i object to peoples right to post them, but it doesn't mean i'm going to give a rats behind about them either, nor pretend i value those who consistently post thems input as much as i do those who support thier opinions, positive or negative.
