But instead, we have every naysayer BOMBARD every single thread with the same comment about firing GG. Everyone is entitled to their viewpoints but when you have every thread filled with FIRE GG, FIRE X PERSON TO THE MOON, TRADE MONAHAN (which was probably one of the most bizarre one I saw), along with childish Glue Gun name calling, it gets absolutely insufferable. It got to the point where there is no point coming on here because you can't have a meaningful conversation. it's like we're in a facebook comment thread.
Even the eternal optimist thread was an opportunity inject some positivity and meaningful discussions around here, but then you still have the naysayers trolling on there.
A lot of us here are here for meaningful hockey conversation and debates, a place to learn the opposite view points through facts, stats, etc. When majority of opposing arguments are filled with garbage to fill their narrative, with no justification, or the infamous "eye-test", it gets old and frustrating.
So if people want to vent their frustrations with stupid comments when the team is doing bad and throw around ridiculous arguments, it's inevitable that the "I told you so" will come out, and rightfully so.

Sounds like you have an ignore list curating problem. Add enough people to ignore and this debate (and most others) are quite civilized. If you reduce the noise enough, then the 'signal' had people like Bingo and Wild GM on one side and Enoch Root and Calgary4Life on the other. There was plenty of quality stuff to facilitate good hockey conversation.
If you read a post that says to trade Monahan, then add the person to ignore. It's unlikely their future opinions will be good either, so save yourself the trouble.
Sidenote: Imagine if Calgary4Life tried to troll/bait someone. The post would still be 400 words long!
