It doesn't upset me in the least. But I would be lying if I said I did not find this thread irritating. People will quite often open threads that they think are idiotic, if for no better reason than to watch a train-wreck in action.
This is something of a double-edged sword here. On the one hand, you are correct in that posters here are free to ignore whatever threads hold no interest for them. But here is the other side of that reality: Part of our responsibility as moderators is to maintain the quality of the board, and I do not believe that you have provided significant enough justification for the continuation of this thread, on the following grounds:
1. It seems to be of little or no interest to anyone else on this board, including other Jets fans. A brief perusal of its contents will reveal that you are the only poster updating the thread, and the vast majority of other responses consist of complaints or sheer nonsense, prompted by the inanity of its contents.
2. It is a rather functionless thread. You will notice that there are not regular updates of the NHL standings, the Conference or even Division races on this site. Primarily because this information is both readily and easily accessible from a wide range of alternative sites. If posters were really interested in tracking the Canadian franchises' records relative to one another, this is also quite simply achieved by merely clicking the "League Standings" option at NHL.com, and employing their own visual filter to isolate only those teams who happen to be located in Canada, but half of whom do not play one another at all this season, and would never meet outside of the Stanley Cup Finals. The "Canadian Standings" is entire artificial and utterly pointless.
3. This thread is now over 17 months old, and would happily have disappeared many months ago had you not decided to resurrect it.
It bears wondering what sort of contribution this thread makes to the board, and if it is deemed to be little more than needless clutter amid a very busy forum, then it probably should be closed.

As for you personal observation about my own character and persona, why the hell would you imagine such a thing, and so what?
You strike me as a man wearing a bouffant wig, with a carrot for a nose, and who cries like an infant during reruns of
Gilmore Girls...
Does anyone really care what I think about you? Do you? Reciprocally why should anyone—present company included—have any interest in your opinion about me, or anyone else for that matter?
