One of the big selling points of CP to me is the acceptance of good fans from other markets. I've always contended they bring a different perspective and often have better information on players or the team than we do here. If the environment is completely toxic, the good posters will leave and we'll all miss out. The bad posters or the trolls won't care about the environment, they're just around to cause trouble and rile people up.
I also agree there is a pocket of Flames fans on the site who seem to take great "pride" in pushing around the non Flames fan or labeling them with a single brush. Whether it's the safety in numbers bully mentality or these fans just need to stoke their ego, I think they are the ones who should be looking elsewhere. Some of these posters have been around for years and the act has grown old. Yes, this is a Flames centric forum, but it's not solely about The Flames. I'm wondering if maybe splitting up the Fire and Ice forum so there in a general NHL forum would help make that clear?
