Well, I posted this messsage on the nola.com forum too.

I\'m glad there are a few people on that site and here (Danno, bayouking, and UK_Whodat) who got the point I was trying to make. Of course other people just saw the Green Bay comment and tore that up. And yes I know that the Packers are a consistently good team. My point was that you don\'t see Packers fans trying to destroy their team in the bad times.

People talking about boycotting the team and selling season tickets and all that is what inspired that post. Too many fans are trying to tear the team down and drive the team out of town who also claim they are fans. You can\'t be both! I will support the Saints no matter what! Us fans don\'t know the inner workings of the franchise and we can do nothing about it. By \"boycotting\" them, they lose money and we lose the team. That would do nothing but hurt an already hurting city and state.

I\'m glad to see that some people got the gist of my post but unfortunately others put it into their own context. And of course from the number of deleted and edited replies, some took it personally... feeling guilty?

For the admins, sorry for any \"language\". I simply copied my nola.com post here and I don\'t post enough to know all the rules.

Here are some replies to my nola.com post http://www.nola.com/forums/saints/:

I\'m with you man. Most of the characters on this forum think they know what the Saints need as gospel truth. If anyone on this forum had any sense of what creates positive performance in any arena, it is unconditional support. When you are down, the last thing you need is a kick in the shin, screw you, you\'re no good, get rid of you type of attitude. When someone has faith and confidence in you, you want to get up and play your best. Positive fan attitude gives that little edge that makes a huge difference. I\'m with you Saints. Count on me.

Heres another (I need to be fair and include the bad ones...I don\'t want to be accused of having an agenda):

Hello Jim Haslett!

I hope some people will understand how much some of the things people are saying nd saying about doing will hurt the Saints. It\'s not cool at all and disgusts me as a long time loyal Saints fans. If we survived thorugh the Billy Joe\'s we can survive anything!
