I’ve always found it amusing fans willingly dedicate so much of their discretionary time on a message board discussing their favorite team, yet get frustrated other fans support the team at the stadium.
Seems to me when a person gets to that point, it would behoove them to find a hobby a little less stressful.
No doubt. It amazes me how many of our posters really don’t like our team.
One theory I have is that they are old and never changed their football mind after their peak era.
Their fandom froze in time and everything that came after is only fit for ridicule and scorn. They’re rigid and brittle and their words to live by are “back in my day”.
There’s a certain element of band wagoner there as well because they are almost *always” fans of the Staubach or Aikman eras.
Here, you see the same names, posting the same negative and cynical comments in thread after thread.
They’re like psychic vampires who can’t ever really be happy but they get what passes for satisfaction when they make others as miserable as they are.
I’ve been a message board junkie for many years, sports, cars, online games, etc. and been a mod on more than a few, but this board really has more than its fair share of that type of bad poster. For what should be such a fun place, you really have to work at it.
That’s what ignore is made for though.
