What I call “hypnotism” is whatever makes some of y’all happy with everything you just described.

Very few are happy. It's just that most of us are not going to wallow in the misery of not seeing any change. It has to be brutal to think that everything here is crap and nothing is going to change. You seem prepared to go the 2, or 3, or 5, or 10 years or more of not seeing the change that you seek. You keep equating acceptance of reality with being happy. They are not the same.

This appears to be a concept that is beyond their ability to fathom, SFIAH. They do not understand that we all want better and are not satisfied. But, I'm not going to make myself, and more importantly others, miserable by obsessing over something that none of us have any control over whatsoever.

Quido, it’s a game.

1. The whole objective is to WIN the game. To WIN IT ALL.
2. This team and organization is consistently FAILING to achieve that objective.
3. The fans are seeing NO SIGNS OF ANY RADICAL CHANGES to the strategy.
4. The fans (customers) have all the power to DEMAND BETTER.

You have every right to enjoy mediocrity, and to keep buying the merch, and to keep driving 10 hours round trip to proudly cheer on a sub-standard product.

We have every right to vent our misery with what promises to remain sub-standard for as long as lovely lady Gayle is alive, and beyond.

This forum is not just a place to masturbate over someone making the Pro Bowl, who hasn’t even gotten into the “PLAYOFFS?!?!?” It’s a place where we can exchange our points of view about a team that has all the potential in the world to WIN IT ALL, and yet, is being run into a swamp of irrelevance.

It’s just a game. As soon as many of us “log off”, we have lives outside of this multi-million dollar failing “entertainment” enterprise.

He doesn't know about logging off because he never has. He just sits hitting the refresh button until he sees a response worth berating someone over. If he doesn't find one after about 5 minutes he just responds to himself multiple times.
You will know on the rare occasion when he logs off because it’ll be preceded by weeks of bragging about some cheap ass cruise he's about to take.
