Personally, I don't have any issue with people who have a different opinion.
But there is a certain elitist faction on this board, who is certainly quick to deride and mock the opinions of
- younger posters like Scorp, especially when optimistic about x or y prospect
- pro-underlying stat posters
- anyone with an opinion that doesn't fall in line with the basic appeal to authority
While timbit is certainly a respectable poster, he unfortunately is an example of falling into this "mocking anyone who questions Geoff Ward or the Flames' (mis)handing of Kylington or Bennett"
It gets pretty grating to sign on here and be mocked for having an opinion that doesn't lineup with these types of posters. A few posters who are/were particularily obnoxious in this sense were MMF, Flash, and T99. Thankfully two of the three are gone.
So when posters like that - the ones who mock others for having an opinion at all - are shown to be wrong, I do enjoy their wrongness.
