I've posted my thoughts and opinions, and people have taken them as fact. One of my favourite threads, which in a way I regret, was talking about how Sutter drafted Cs two years ago, but failed to pick up someone (like Jokinen) to bolster the middle for the immediate need.

I had to defend my thoughts, and provided fact, but it was like I no longer belonged on the board, because I didn't share the same "In Sutter We Trust" thought process.
I've also been slammed for my dislike for Dustin Boyd.
If you're going to put yourself out there, you're going to get people who don't like your post, especially if it's not the common thought. It's tough, but it's expected.
I don't avoid the "Fire On Ice", but I try not to start threads based on my opinion, unless I feel like defending myself over a 72 hour period.
