What do you expect all they get is inundated with people calling them trolls, telling them how horrible their fan base is, etc. Even the known good posters get needlessly attacked for simply being a fan of a different team.

Not that there aren't people here just to stir the pot, but in order to separate those from those who simply want to talk hockey you have to be able to determine the poster's motivation, and that is made completely impossible by the constant attacks by some Flames fans.

We want fans of other teams to be welcome here to talk hockey, if someone doesn't like that then too bad. If someone wants a forum where Canucks fans are kept in a cage and only trotted out for derision and mocking then I suggest they go somewhere else.

All to often to me (my view as a poster, not as a moderator), it's some Flames fans' posts that make the atmosphere poisonous and confrontational that leads to OOT threads like last nights, not Canucks fans.
