Why so negative?

Oh well.

Maybe I took your post the wrong way jkool. I didn't know you were no longer a moderator on this board, either. My apolgies if you were only joking. It just sounded like you were acussing me of something.

And as far as saintswhodi goes. I was only asking why so many negative posts were on this board. I was talking about no one in particular. saintswhodi, i suppose, feels like he has to talk down to me to get his point across.

If saintswhodi dosen't feel like there's more negative than postive here at this site, that's fine, I can live with that. But I'm not going to sit back and take saintswhodi's crap. I've seen how he interacts with other people on here. Which is why I was wondering when he'd come running in.

Setting a trap? Hardly. I asked a very simple question and now IVooDoo,
First, welcome!
If you were reading the boards as much as you claim then you know you were going to have to come under fire once in awhile if someone disagreed with your opinion or statement. You seem to have a short fuse. If talking about a lack of production from certain players, or wasted picks, or bad management makes this a "negative" forum then so be it. This team has issues that need to be addressed. Sully lost weight, great! But that was expected of him. He has a lot of making up to do to prove himself.

VooDoo, yeah this site is definitely more negative than most other sites, and I'm a member of about six others. But these guys are really fun to argue with and I get a ton of enjoyment exposing their over-pessimistic viewpoints. They're pretty persistent, but I hope you decide to stay because I could definitely use the help. Oh and JKool is one of the most polite level-headed posters I've ever known. You definitely took him the wrong way. He's a great guy.

Exposing pessimists one post at a time,
Danno!

Oh forget it. You people are incredible.

I asked a simple question and saintswhodi goes off on some rant about making predictions and he took a very hostile "tone".

Then jkool suggests that I was setting a trap. How was I to know he was playing? He seemed pretty serious to me.

And when I answer these "comments" (for lack of a better term) I get told that I have a short fuse or whatever.

You know what ... I really don't care. You guys can have this board.

I read the "rules" and they don't seem to be enforced around here.

Hey, whatever ......

Short fuse.

For the last couple of months I've read this board to keep with with things I normally couldn't find elsewhere. During that time I did read gumbo's posts.

I don't know what the problem was with gumbo, nor do I really care. I did think he added a lot to this board. Apparently he's no longer here???

Sure, I'm gumbo.

saintswhodi · 05-17-2005, 02:21 PM

I also seemed to notice a familiar tone tobias.

Here' my thing. I said:

Everyone here is hopeful no matter how they post, but blowing smoke isn't gonna make this a better forum. It is a forum and in here more than anywhere else, EVERYONE's opinion is welcome. If you see no wrong, post it. If you don't like the way the team is shaping up again, post it. Noone can begrudge you that cause that is what we are all here for.

AND

If you have a "positive" view, we all welcome it. Everyone who posts makes this a better forum, whether you agree with what they say or not.

and I am trying to run someone off? Priceless. Truly. You got what you wanted man, attention. Talk down to you? Give me a break. A little less estrogen with your meals please. I was very cordial to you and told you twice your opinion was welcomed. Come off it dude. Short fuse is right lynnwood. I haven't been this confused since the last time my wife yelled at me and I had no reason what for.

JKool · 05-17-2005, 02:23 PM

I too am confused.
