“I know what you are but what am I” is less effective than you think it is. But if you really want to believe that I’m actually all the things I said you were, by all means, go wild. Don’t care. (But you’re free to believe I do).

Weird that this is your first mention of hypocrisy, then. I thought this was about people misinterpreting you. Or was it about the evidence of Markstrom’s stellar play being woefully insufficient? Hard to keep track.

What I mean by “ease off the gas” is don’t read comments where the poster didn’t even remember you as being comments that “mock” you and don’t accuse others of antagonizing/piling on/grasping at straws/etc when everyone else is just having a normal one. Read the room and relax.

Textcritic already nailed this one (despite the lame suggestion he’s “spinning” something lol) but also, “if people shouldn’t do this why did one other person do it????” is an incredibly poor way to justify something. Fans panic all the time. Some fans lose their entire life savings betting on sports. Some fans get into fights or hurl racist insults at players from the stands. Is it ok if we say fans shouldn’t do those things even though some do? You would agree to that, right? Great.
End of the day, you’re allowed to have whatever opinion about Markstrom you want to have. And so is everyone else. Mine is that it’s always too early to panic and I’m seeing good things in his game lately. You’re not going to convince me otherwise and I don’t care to convince you of it, cool?
