- when the "insiders" make glib comments and try to shut down conversation. Dissentowner has repented for this, and I'm sorry for bringing it up again, but an example is exactly with him saying "don't bother speculating about Vancouver for lindholm" in the trade thread when people were proposing the exact trade that ended up happening a week later. If you're going to present as an insider, people are going to problematically take your word as gospel, so you have to act more responsibly imo.
- when we spend pages of thread debating about the insiders, or when people make post after post appealing to their authority or demanding an update.
Anyways, y'all do you just try not to stomp on other good parts of the boards while "having fun" or whatever.

To me it's weird that you remembered Diss got that wrong AND you care that he "repented". I don't keep a scorecard but i guess you do? Who gives a ####.
