Fair enough. And my point wasn't that you're the only one guilty of being repetitive and negative. There are plenty of posters who go into every thread with the same schtick and it's tiring. I suppose there's the whole "if you don't like it, then ignore it" concept, and that's basically what I've done.
When I signed up on this site, it was originally to talk about hockey and I spent most of my time in FOI. Now I pretty much avoid that place like the plague. I'll go in and check out the headlines of the threads to see if there's any news, and then I usually head to the OT and Other Sports forums. I very rarely post in FOI because every topic basically degenerates into the same few subjects. Half the time there are 2-3 threads on the first page that are virtually the same topics. It's quite frankly rampant stupidity and incivility in there. I really don't understand how someone can find it entertaining to login and re-post the same thing 5-6 times per day.
So yeah, I basically have tuned a lot of it out, but I know for some of the more rabid hockey fans it's hard for them to stay away from there and they're extra frustrated with quality of the discussions. You see quality posters like Resolute and MMF lashing out at the idiots and it's pretty easy to understand why.
