Also, it drives him absolutely crazy that some things on CP can easily get out of hand. Basically, he reads us, finds the stupidest post and then just assumes that everyone on the internet is this way.
I remember one specific incident towards the end of the season where someone on CP said they thought the Flames were going to have a press conference or something and it kind of snowballed and soon people were calling the fan asking when the PC was. Rob kind of flipped out and blamed these idiots not being able to read on CP. It isn't our fault that some people take what is clearly a rumour/opinion and start thinking it was true.
I think it was about potentially firing Keenan or something.

I find it interesting that the guy refuses to embrace messageboards as a way to expand your thoughts and opinions on topics taht he's paid to be knowledgable on.
I mean, he's got access to way more than I ever will, so I know it's not like he needs to come here to get informed, just odd that he doesn't want to be informed on when the masses are saying.
Sorta like a politician that doesn't want to be informed on what are hot button issues are for his constituents.
