Move along, this is a grown up discussion.

This thread is kind of cathartic.

Kind of like Festivus and the airing of grievances. What's next? Wrestling?

First off, and I've noted this many times. Admin is doing as good of a job as he can.

Any negative vibes one might feel........time for us all to look in the mirror because it's the posters and poster styles that have developed.

Some simple, good common sense thoughts and/or suggestions that each of us could do better

1. Be courteous and respectful of others; simple, yet hard to follow conept

2. Don't be the guy that feels like he/she always needs to get the last word in; if you are irked about something it says more about you if you have the ability to take a step back instead of leading a flame war due to ones views about a game.

3. Leave the sarcastic, one liners at the door that might offend others. I've been guilty of this in the past as well.

I too have come to hate that dam smily icon as many think it's alright to throw insulting, meaningful sarcasm out as long as you end it with a smily...I've been guilty of this one a lot on the past two

4. Be a step above calling out other posters in anything but a positive manner ; take that to PM if you feel that need to stir a pot or just refrain

5. Leave the self righeous bullshit to your own personal life. On a forum where few people know each other, nobody is a better person or worse person based on what he/she believes about something regarding a game

6. If you are unable to embrace number five, then just don't respond to posters you don't respect as much and the flame wars will go away

7. Re Embrace the mojo that everybody is welcome here regardless of his/her views about football unless they are blatantly harmful.

Really most of that makes sense, even if it may be a little heavy on the idealism. You have to admit, number 4 is a little silly. This is a football forum, not a preteen discussion of rainbows and hugs. If we feel the need to start every post where we don't agree with someone with "Well, poster, you are a wonderful person with lots of interesting and valid opinions, but I think your argument would be stronger and even more wonderful if you believed..." then this place isn't long for the world.

I still think if you act like you would at the bar, you'll be fine. Joke and poke fun at people you know, and treat those you don't know with common bar courtesy - which, granted, is a step or two below grocery store common courtesy, but still keeps you out of a fistfight most of the time.

This was my initial reaction to your post though:

You are an idiot. Game set match. What a grrrrreeeeaaaat post. What I really mean is that this post is stupid and Jesus loves me more than you, so I must be right. This place would be better without all you enumerating number dorks.
