looking forward to hearing why they're also smarter for buying

Not everything is some indictment on Flames management. And people resisting excessive praise of bland, deck-chair shuffling moves does not imply anything about their feelings regarding the moves (or lack of) the Flames have made.

Why does every single conversation here have to become this nonsense?

Agreed. So maybe posts like the first one are the problem?

Not really.

If the goal is to avoid having every single conversation turning into "nonsense", maybe don't jump into a thread and start the conversation off with your version of it?

I mean LOL really thinking someone could not get the point of your comment.

So you are entitled to criticize other posters - as you are doing with my post, and as you regularly do when anyone criticizes the negative collective - but others are not.

Weird thing to be a champion of.

Why is Weekes running both his airconditioner units in the middle of winter with snow on the ground?

Not being a champion of anything. And not trying to insult you or your ability to get the point of anything so would appreciate the same courtesy.

But honestly feeling the need to insult the "collective" right off the bat in a thread dedicated to a specific trade doesn't really elevate the discussion, does it? Which IMO is at the heart of Pepsi Free's post, no matter which side of the so called collective you might see yourself.
