I dunno.

I like reading people's thoughts, opinions and feelings.

This team has been mediocre at best (and thanks Jay Random, I know what mediocre means) for quite a while. Are we surprised that fans are mostly pessimistic?

What I don't like are a lot of the responses towards those posts.

Basically most end up being "your thoughts, feelings and opinions are wrong". Or "here's a nitpick, look how smart I am" (note: you're not smart).

Goddamned walls of text in response. Who the hell cares. You can write how YOU feel without knocking down someone else's. These posters rarely post their own thoughts, opinions and feelings. They just respond to other people's. Rambling dialogs about stats, models, minutiae. Patronizing garbage. Yippee.

A lot of it ends up being passive aggressive insults towards the poster. I think this is why forums are dead. Hiding behind a handle and then going right up against the boundary that the rules set. At least on FB the nutters are being themselves and using their real name. Even Reddit is slowing down if not outright shrinking, and they're mostly just dependent on naked women.
