Love it when you get to see a poster's personality. Some people in our threads are so (frank)ing robotic.

Chompsey's always good for adding a little heat to the treads and somehow avoids scolding from Mods. Must be his lovable nature I guess. It's a good approach to this site; talk hockey, be opinionated, but don't take anything seriously.

Realitychecker is good for that too. Actually, I sometimes confuse the two of them when commenting. That happens to me a lot.

I used to get Thunder and Humongous mixed up all the time too. That's why I hate when folks change their avatars. It (frank)s me up.

It was years before I realized that Makita and Micah were two different posters. I even asked Makita once 'why the hell do you always change your avatar?'.

There's a lot of good posters. Good personalities and great sense of humours. Vintage, Reuben, VanHockeyGuy, YeOldTimer, GolfingSince1967, ASteamingLombardi, A couple of Nucker's personalities.

The whining river of tears victims list is decidedly smaller. Maybe when we are drunk & high we can go into more detail.

I've really been enjoying the hate. It makes me feel alive!!

It's been pretty tame this summer which is why I come looking for fights all the time.


Should we pick our top 5 members of the tears are not enough victim club tonight?

I always get a kick, when I bring up something to change the conversation, then get called out for it.

Like most of us fans, I really hope Quinn does well and becomes a valuable member of the defense. We all know we badly need someone with his potential back there.

No kidding, guess it's best to stick with approved subjects, so;
Eriksson (AHL, terminate, Dallas, trade, bus ride to airport)
Benning (Dumb, not qualified, needs assistant, lousy at trades or contracts)
Brackett (Real darfting guru, should be GM, excellent speaker)
Beagle (overrated, too much money/term, mentor master, expendable)
Playoffs (dumb idea, not possible with bottom 6, I'll have what you are smoking)

Some minor other topics that get laughed at, shot down.

Please just rinse and recycle the above in no specific order.

it's awesome how the offseason is full of sunshine, rainbows.... and gatekeeping. every summer!

if i've learned anything from this site over the years, it's that summertime is not for criticizing the team's moves unless you're talking about previous management, previous players or the owner

wait until the season starts and then blame... injuries, bad bounces, bad reffing and bettman.

To be fair, there has just been the draft, free agency, trades and a possibility of hope.

As for gatekeeping, it's the same all year, (if you are referring to me).

Criticism is great, it should allow for a different prospective, now nonstop verbal diarrhea is nauseating at the best and infuriating most times.

no!!

i'm referring to the labelling of people as "real fans" or "haters."

"you're not a real fan because you criticize x, y and z."

i'm sure you've been labelled as a "hater" due to your criticisms of green and previously stetcher. any criticism is seen as blind hate whether it comes from the media or posters on this site.

the labelling is ridiculous... and just plain lazy.

and the " now nonstop verbal diarrhea is nauseating at the best and infuriating most times" is EXACTLY RIGHT.

however, i see the verbal diarrhea coming from the exact opposite people that you do.

Whew,

Truth be known, I try to be open minded, like I really try to be open minded.

But when the continued narrative is outrageous BS that people makeup/use to serve their position, I will post an opposing position just because of the BS, I may not agree with that opposing position and quite frankly I can't remember half the stuff I semi-defend.

I only do it because nonstop verbal diarrhea is nauseating at the best and infuriating most times.

I think Marwood is the only person that really knows that I'm fcuking around most times...except when it comes to Green and his coaching techniques, but being open minded I'll wipe the slate clean and see how he coaches this year, like Stecher last year improved, but is still a 5-6 at best.

I would love to see your verbal diarrhea poster list, because I bet we have quite a few similar posters...hey new forum topic.

I sure hope I make the verbal diarrhea list.

I always have to get away for a bit in the summer because the "fluffers" are out in full force. Ironically, sometime between the end of December and early March they often become the biggest critics.

true enough (on pretty much everything).

i'm sure our lists would be similar.

hell, half the time, people move on and off the verbal diarrhea list.

...however, there are some that need some verbal imodium on a daily basis.

setting up a thread to deal with that type of stuff/posters... what could go wrong?
