I do not feel smug and superior at all, Dion.

Not at all.

There are many excellent posters here sharing nothing but their thoughts about hockey. The humour is often a welcome diversion.

But there is far more noise than humour, or thoughts about hockey.

I was simply trying to raise the level of discourse on CalgaryPuck.

It often gets so bogged down with "he said, she said" crap, and worse, that to read a viewpoint, articulately related, is really a breath of fresh air!

Is that so wrong?

Who doesn't want to share their passions with others and to learn from contrary viewpoints?

Does the fact that I choose the words that I am comfortable using in my everyday life lessen my contributions?

If that is the case, I may look elsewhere to share my love of hockey.

I suspect that others might share my passion for the sport and our team.

We will find out together.
