Why so negative?

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.

You just can't drop it can you, saintswhodi? Now you're accusing me of trying to get attention? Why do you feel the need to call me out?

Have I called you out saintswhodi? No, I did not. And I don't appreciate being called out by you. And I didn't appreciate being accused of setting a trap by jkool. Jkool said he was kidding and I took him at his word.

I don't have a short fuse. I just don't like being accused of things.

I can tell by saintswhodi's posting style that he probably causes a lot of trouble on this board. He comes after me (the new guy) when I said absolutely nothing to him.

You seemed to be offended when I suggested this board tended to be negative.

PS - What the heck is The Manning Award?

I don't know JKool. I was hoping someone would tell me the significance. I

Okay Gum, I mean voodoo. I'll leave you to your thing. Enjoy the forum should you stay around. Everyone's opinion is welcome. Crap, I hope that didn't sound too much like trying to run you off. I wonder what the response would have been had WhoDat posted in this thread. Hhhmmm....

JKool · 05-17-2005, 02:44 PM

When I find out, I'll let you know.

Also, don't you mean "carp"? 8)

lynwood · 05-17-2005, 02:48 PM

Yeah, this dissussion has gone on past it's time. My last words on this topic will just be welcome to the forum. You have already made an impression and hopefully in time some things will clear up with other topic posts.

I can assure you that I am not gumbo. My real name is Jimmy Jones. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I've been a Saints fan my whole life.

This whole thing got off on the wrong foot because I asked "why so negative"? It seems like you took great offense to that question and went on some long ramble about towing the company line. When all I wanted to know was why most here felt less than encouraged by their favorite team.

I automatically felt the need to get on the defensive when you went on your (uncalled for) rant and then jkool (I know now he was joking) suggested I was trying to "set a trap". Which I can assure eveyone I wasn't.

How is it that I ask a very simple question and some of you guys get so worked up. It's like some of you get defensive when I suggest some are negative about this team.

Maybe some of you guys are just self-conscious.

JKool · 05-17-2005, 02:53 PM

No worries VooDoo (sometimes people get off track)

Whodi, Gumbo would have known I was joking, so I'm certain that VooDoo is telling the truth that he is not Gumbo.

Welcome abord, again, VooDoo. I look forward to your finding the positives out there and sharing them with all of us.

I for one am optimistic about our offense. Our defense on the other hand still seems to be in need of run stuffers in the middle - same ol', I guess?

Therein lies the trick.

First - Voodoo isn't Gumbo.

Second - With all due respect Voodoo, it seems like you came into this thread asking for a fight. Maybe not, but what exactly was your intention when you suggested that everyone on the site was negative and asked why?

You were also very quick to suggest that you were being mistreated. Why is that? 5 posts and you're a victim? Let me ask you, do you belong to other Saints boards?

ScottyRo · 05-17-2005, 04:53 PM

Zero to ballistic in < 10 posts. That's got to be a record or something. Some say it's negative around here. Others call it realism. Who cares what each person labels it?

The only valuable nugget of info I've seen in this thread (and I skimmed a lot of it) is the info on Sully losing 15 more pounds. However, it begs the questions: What's the source? Is there a link?

I'd just like some substantiation on it before I start feeling all warm and fuzzy about Buffet-Boy.
