This is just completely unjustified and false.

Oh, lighten up, I'm just giving the guy a hard time. I've never seen a more die-hard Romo fanatic in my time surfing message boards, nothing against the guy, he's just dedicated.

Isn't it funny how polarizing the whole Romo topic is?

My posts regarding this has nothing to do with Romo but the wording and 'tone' of the post.

I have zero problem with anyone's opinion of Romo one way or the other.

As a member I often disagree with the logic of some posts, the inability to see both pros and cons to his game (magnify the cons; minimize the pros), the constant negativity without reasonable balance overall to their posting patterns, and the direct and more common indirect comments towards members who post in a balanced, fair and objective manner.

There is a huge difference in saying I don't like some of the untimely INTs Romo throws like those of the "No, Danny, NO!" variety. Contrast that with 'we'll never win anything with Romo' without any comment as to why made in a fair and balanced way; and posted in thread after thread often off topic.

I know you're just yanking my chain.

When people read something they don't like, and can't respond to the substance, it's not uncommon for them to accuse the author of bias. It gets the attention off the subject at hand, and onto personalities. Since you didn't have anything to say about the OP, that's probably what he thought was going on.

Say what you will, but I've always taken a balanced approach to the Romo topic.

People just get so damn serious when talking about Romo, I find a lot of humor in it.

This is probably the only thing I've come to dislike about the discussions. I defend Romo quite a bit, especially outside of this forum. But the way some people act is as if they'd gladly give up their first born to shield Romo from any sort of criticism, justified or not. Insults, albeit indirect, get thrown around quite a bit when it comes to Romo related topics especially from the aforementioned "Romo lovers." The discussions tend to intensify the longer they are drawn out and tension seems to flare up quite a bit.

The beauty of a message board is that there are varying opinions that can be discussed. If everyone had the same mindset, I think things would be a bit dull :)
