Following trades and transactions and sharing ideas with other people over some common topic is still in its own way supporting the team, and can be a source of joy for a lot of people. Everyone here wants the Flames to get better. Participating in a community is a fundamental human activity. Is it fair for you or anyone else to judge who is or is not a "real" fan on the basis of how they choose to express it?

The conversation started, in part, because you said you were struggling to give a damn about the team.
Giving a damn, basically is what makes you a fan. That doesn't mean you agree with the direction. But you care. That's what makes us fans.
So it seems like you still do give a damn.
No one is defining who is or isn't a real fan, except applying the basic definition of it.
