This labeling of different perspectives doesn't make this site better.

I understand where you’re coming from and in fairness (and I agree) blanket statements about “all posters” being a certain way are kinda BS.
But let’s be perfectly honest here. The people that frequent this site, post and lack objectivity because of fan based emotion (and let me clear there is nothing wrong with that), are absolutely pie eyed homers. Again there’s nothing wrong with it and this is a Flames fan website, but if you think objectivity isnt lacking you are kidding yourselves and from my perspective I’m merely calling a spade a spade.
People were right to question Gulutzan and people challenged that because “we aren’t experts” or “we aren’t in the room” or “but none of us really know”.
But people were right to question then and people are right to question now and if that lands a label on the deniers then it’s just being honest.
I have always struggled with people’s inability and insecurity with critiques to the team that are warranted. We went through it when Iginla should have been traded 2 years before he was and we went through it with Gulutzan and it looks like the same kinda story with this.
