These days, CP represents not only a vast cross-segment of Flames fans, but a lot of Calgarians in general from all professions and ages. I think the CP of 2014 is a lot different than just a dark corner for nerds...it's probably the biggest (depending in what Beyond has numbers wise) internet forum for Calgarians in general on the internet.

It's mostly the anonymity. It's hard to take a Twitter handle or forum poster with much seriousness, even when they're extremely well-read, well-informed and well-intentioned.
