I've been a part of this board for many years. I rarely post. I have learned many things like never name yourself after a coach. I have enjoyed reading things in the past. Just like the rest of the world the idea of what is right or wrong has become so hazy that there is no set limits either way.
This forum used be very mature in the manner in which people addressed each other. There were the odd fracas, the odd fata as it were, but never anything like this.
There was a real desire that this place wouldn't become HF. I am no expert but it sure seems like it is headed that way, no disrespect. At the risk of being slammed, the way that posters attack the Edmonton Oilers on here now is exactly how the fans of the Oilers used to be called out for slamming the Flames. I find that very sad, this used to be a fairly mature forum that way.
I have never seen so much attention and work attached to one individual directly or indirectly. People can't just agree to disagree, people can't just respect each other and go on with life. I don't know if that is a reflection on how the frustration has mounted on the forum towards this current season or a reflection on the society as a whole.
I mean nothing but respect, I have always appreciated all the information, good and bad, and the resources found here.
