The thing is I tend to overreact and post before thinking. So maybe my posts seem dramatic at times. At the same time, the only time I get into an argument with people is when they are replying to my posts to tell me my position is wrong and that I am a moron. And of course I am going to respond back to that. But I don't really attack people unless it is a response, my posts are almost always directed towards frustration with Flames ownership or management.
And the only reason it seems there are so many posts about me, is people feel the need to respond for some reason. I have not even been on the site for 2 hours and I see a bunch of posts again about me. In a trade rumor thread.

I doubt you have any interest in constructive criticism, but the reason you get so much reaction to your posts isn't a mystery - in fact, you answered it yourself.
Lots of people - well, everyone actually - criticizes the team sometimes (some more than others obviously), that IS NOT the problem. The problem is that you post the same thing over and over and over, even if/when your view is refuted. As you say yourself, you 'overreact, and post without thinking'. Here's a thought: take a minute, and think before you post.
An example of why you take heat is the way you posted dozens of times last year, that the Flames should have traded Kadri. It was explained to you - dozens of times - why that wasn't feasible, but you kept posting the same thing anyway.
Instead of just playing the victim, maybe try to improve your posting style. If this many people react to your posts, maybe there is actually a problem with your posts.
