Absolutely. That is the point. I am as fanatical a Saints fan as you can get, yet I also have a certain perspective after visiting dozens of opposing fan's sites over the past decade. What I have discovered is that for the most part they are no different than us, but only wear different colors and don different logos. But, they all love their teams just as much as we do. They deal with the same crap that life deals to us. They have their personal joys and despair in the same manner as us.

To be honest, it pains me to see and read the abuse that opposing fans take on the internet and in person. I just feel we (meaning all, not just Saints fans) need to practice greater respect for others enthralled by the same passion as encompasses us all.

I realize it seems as I am preaching, but Hell, look at my avatar. It has taken hold. I just think that we all need to take a step back at times and see things from the other viewpoint.

Okay, the sermon is over. Drinks are on me. Or, as you may discover following the thread, that may not necessarily be the case ...
