lyin' guy Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well, if my team had a total of 8 wins over 2 years in a 9 team league I guess I might be a bit defensive as well. Things look pretty testy over there. As I said before, they do a very good job of slicing and dicing their own kind. They probably don't need outsiders doing it. Any comments from outsiders are going to be taken defensively even if they are positive. They want their own site for their own people so they can belittle and crap on each other. Best to just sit back, stay out have a beer and observe them doing just that. They haven't disappointed so far. The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite accurate. Last year was a clearinghouse. This year it's about pieces. That's so hilariously wrong. Everything those two clowns have said since Jonsie has been hired has been proven to be inaccurate, yet they still continue on their crusade.

Certain comments is a better way to put I would say. As far as people wanting their own site, that goes everywhere. Many posters there and here have zero problem with out of town fans posting, in fact I think it adds a lot of perspective to the conversation. I enjoy talking football and try not to stir the pot when on another teams site, and for the most part have gotten along well here. There are definitely some die hard people that challenge comments from "visitors" but those people challenge locals in the same way, its just their posting style.

I love the Riders and will always will be a diehard fan, doesn't mean I am best buddies with every rider fan. I won't defend some comments made by fellow fans, just because we cheer for the same team. At the same time, I will defend my team when I need to, or a fellow rider fan or fan of any team for that matter, who I think has done nothing wrong. Cheering for a different team doesn't automatically make a person a idiot or a uneducated fan. There are some posters who I agree could pound sand, but I try not to take it to heart. Everyone has a right to have a opinion, as long as they are not being rude or offending anyone I think they can post that opinion. Isn't that what these forums are for? Discussion?
