My perception is that the more vocal pessimistic fans tend to have a border-line irrational obsession about very specific things or players and never miss an opportunity to make a negative comment on the subject, but few slag everything related to the Flames. I guess that makes sense since if you hate everything you probably wouldn’t be here.
On the other hand the more vocal optimists tend to come off as white knights, countering any and all slights against the team.
Both types of posters lose credibility in my eyes. I prefer a fan who is generally optimistic (we’re fans after all) but is happy to acknowledge and discuss shortcomings.
