I've stayed out of the debate because I have mixed feelings

On one hand
- There is already a lot of constant arguing on the board about negative posts. I saw this as a light-hearted way to poke fun at it.
- To some degree I think the constantly hyperbolic negative posts SHOULD be called out. Yes there is enough division in the world, but you know what else there is? Enough negativity. Sports is supposed to be fun. But there is a small subset of posters that only seem to post when things are going wrong and seem intent to drag others into their negative space. I don't get that and frankly I'm don't think we need to go out of our way to protect people like that. They are the exceptions. If they want to be THAT negative they can deal with the consequences of taking that approach. Being that way IS a choice they are making.

On the other hand
- Some people clearly did not take it as a light hearted attempt to have fun with it. And I don't know that more division on the board is helpful
- i agree with others who have said valid negative insights shouldn't be part of this. it should be to highlight hyperbolic or poorly informed negativity

So what should we do? Beats me.
