So you think beating the Clowns was a big deal?

But, I do applaud xan's realist view point on this matter, and I don't agree with the harsh and outright mean responses he received by some.

Respect other peoples' opinions and point of views!

You couldn't have read the same post the rest of us did if you think we're mean spirited in our responses. We're not cursing the guy out. But when come on the heels of a big and exciting win, and tell everybody to get real, as he did, you will get exactly this kind of reaction every time. An opinion is one thing. This wasn't a presentation of why he alone didn't think it was a big deal. It was a presentation of how stupid he seems to think we all are. No one, I mean not a single person, did I see in here saying we're going to the super bowl. We were just happy to win, and he wanted poop all over that fact.

OK. Well then it seems that we both read what xan wrote, but interpreted it in different ways.

I didn't think he was belittling all of us in his initial post; just that he was representing another side to the state of how things stand at the moment in relation to the recent win over the Saints' division rival.

And, on another note, this was his thread and he made it in compliance with the forum rules, so if you don't like it... be civil about your counter-arguments or just ignore the thread!

At least that is how I see it.

Yes. It was a big deal. It is a step in the right direction.

He said it within forum rules? I didn't accuse him of breaking rules, and frankly I don't care if he did or not, to be honest. I was more than civil enough, along with everyone else. We didn't break any rules either. If he wanted to say "well it's a win, but we're still not going anywhere", then that's an opinion and I respect it, whether or not I agree. But there was no room for any other interpretation than what we took it as... We're just a pack of daydreaming fools, who have no sense of reality.

The sarcasm, and condescension couldn't have been more obvious to anyone. I will end by saying respectfully to you; if you don't like what WE have to say, then just ignore the thread. I'm not belittling your right to have a say, but you're asking us to respect an opinion while not respecting ours. When you call people out for being happy of all things, as the original poster did, then you deserve to be lambasted.
