A little bit of perspective please

[Chasing6]

The hard truth is that ownership has alienated the fanbase for 30 years, and it is clear they will continue to do so. When your fanbase cares about winning more than the Joneses' do, there is a problem and it's not just us "fans", it's not evident in those players who have recently left. I for one can deal with losing if there is a clear path to success, however, there is no clear path.

I have said for a few years on here that I am one of the very few "objective" fans of this team, and haven't allowed my love for 1 or 2 players to cloud my judgment. As much of a nice person Dak is, there is zero argument that he is/was not the right player to help this team rebuild. The problem in fan forums is that you will have the negative Nancy, and you will have the Happy Homer. It is typically that "fan" that causes the most stir

Why would they change, when it has resulted in financial success.

I feel strongly that we should always attempt to show respect to other members here, whether or not we happen to agree with what they say. Granted, as difficult as it may be, we should avoid being contemptuous to others with opinions differing from our own. Otherwise, coming here could never be the experience that we'd most like it to. Patience really isn't easy to have, hereabouts.

Needless to say, it's tough to do so, when a fan of a team that is as lax in its managerial duties as this one has been for decades. Human beings will always be just that. As such, we must understand that as long as that's the case, tempers must be adjusted, accordingly. We're all mortal creatures, after all.

I'm saying this as one who might practice what I say more often. Bear with me folks, I'm only human, and so are all of us! Let's be kind to one another, ok . . . even to Jerry & Son, if you can!

Well technically, wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid (like water) interacts with a solid surface, rather than being an inherent quality of the liquid itself

thanks for proving my point.

Well technically, wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid (like water) interacts with a solid surface, rather than being an inherent quality of the liquid itselforry but that is wrong.

Sorry but thats wrong.

It is because the molecular structure of a fluid is only losely coupled. So the molecules are able to arrange themselves around a surface as a very thin layer. Thats what people experience as wetness.

Every fluid is like that. Which means every fluid would feel wet on your body

Wetness is only a feeling. But the reason for it is the molecular structure of a fluid which IS a inherent quality of a liquid.

I absolutely love this message board. I have been a member here for years and I love speaking to my fellow fans about everything Cowboys, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Having said that, the polarity of this place is becoming extremely toxic and unreasonably contentious. It seems like that so many here don’t like people who don’t view things the same way that they do.

Some view EVERY move the Cowboys make as wrong. Some have a sunshine view of every move. I can see why those extreme factions have trouble with each other, but the truth lies somewhere in between.

I guess my thought process on this post is how about just being a little bit more civil with each other? I am quite sure that most everyone here (including those who always look for the bright side) are frustrated.

I know that I am frustrated with the Cowboys and last year I became as frustrated as I have ever been with the Cowboys. But that doesn’t mean that I am going to go out of my way to complain about every move that they make.

Some of the minor moves that they make will be positive. Maybe we will have an epic draft. Maybe we won’t. But I’m not going to assume the worst before it even happens.

It’s ok to be realistic. It’s ok to be negative. I think some of that is definitely appropriate, but let’s at least be civil in conversation with each other. There is really no need to just attack everything someone says because you don’t like them or agree with how they view the team.

A majority of the people here have opinions about the team that CHANGE from day to day or week to week. Views should change a little as the team evolves.

I don’t think that Dak is the guy to lead us anywhere and I don’t understand why the Cowboys paid him what they did. I don’t think he will get better and I think he is like an anvil around the team’s neck. But I am not going to purposefully be hateful to someone that believes differently than me on Dak.

In short please try to be civil with one another. I know it’s hard right now with so much going wrong for so long, but at least try.

That's what you say!

Why? Whats going on? Some disrespect amongst Zoners? I don't pay attention. I'm just here to look at ads and to read what the Coog says.

Sounds similar to how Humans cant actually detect wetness. Humans don't have specialized receptors in their skin to detect "wetness" directly; instead, the brain interprets the feeling of wetness based on a combination of temperature and pressure sensations, not a specific "wetness" sense

Me and my post?

Oh gosh no as long as I have been around the board has been contentious

Well said....screw that! Haters suck worse than Garrett!! Lol....
Seriously, I think a lot of the angst is just messing around, but It does get outta hand from time to time. Salud!

There are forum policies that deal with this issue. If you feel you are being treated rudely by a fellow poster then I encourage you to report them.

I am speaking of personal attacks. If you find a football-related opinion to be offensive, then that is on you.

Ah, go tell it to the Marines. smh

Voice your opinion. Yeah.

That's the reason i stay away from a-social media.

A-social media is the new crackerbarrel. Just that now all crackerbarrels have the possibility to communicate together.

With those platforms being public we all are able to get a sense of how many of such people are out there. Where we all thought there are only 5 of them in maybe 1 of 10 villages now we get the feeling the bulk of society are savages.

Anonymity supports the process even more. People wouldnt behave like that publicly. At least this is what i want to believe in.
(But when i have to watch how the new elected president of the US behaves in public i am seriously concerned that a big part of society will take this as an "ok" and start to be like this too.)


Still i refuse to accept that the bulk of people are a-social on a level they show themselves on those platforms.
Usually you have 10% of society that are bad no matter what, 10% that are always good and the bulk in between.


I think it was always like this: You have to chose with what kind of people you want to spent your time with. And finding those is not easy. A common interest is not the only thing that is needed. Its also about social behavior, culture, education and intellect.

Enjoy the Greatness!! Ty….
