You want to express passionate frustration at how the Flames played/season went/GG coached/Cameron screwed up the PP? No problem. Just don't call people names, act like a childish boor or talk to someone the way you wouldn't, talking to your grandparent, employer etc.

No one is asking for purity and virtue - just common courtesy (which, as I read this thread seems surprisingly uncommon for some).

There are already forum rules and mods already seem to take action on infractions as far as I know. I suppose the rules aren't broad enough to cover your definition of boorishness? You could actually message the mods on specific instances of harassment, etc. if you feel posters have gone too far.

As far speaking as if its an employer, I'm not sure many posters are itching to come here and discuss the Flames just like they discuss TPS reports at their corporate, cubicle/office culture with their boss. People get spirited here because its an escape to follow the team and be passionate about it. I don't see what's wrong with that. I would hate to see the life sucked out of this place. We've already had it sucked out of the hockey team.
