I like to think of the negative Nellie's, as oiler fans.

Having insiders also dispels a lot of misconceptions. When the fans don't have the right information a lot of times they can come up with all sorts of ideas which can unfortunately lead to baseless rumors. I think the insiders really help to keep the fan base rather calm, informed and excited at the same time.
Hopefully the few that tend to go off the deep end or claim the sky is falling after losses, or not hearing what they want to hear, will realize that this is a mature fanbase, and that people do get tired of people acting out randomly like kids going off the deep end.
