I haven't said anything about having a problem with what you did. I just used it as an example of obsessive behavior. Apparently I have touched a nerve with you and for that I am sorry. I have been coming here because, up until now, I have met some really fine people here to debate with and have enjoyed the give and take. If you feel that my time on this board has been spent in a trollish manner and that I have added nothing to your community then swing your mighty sword and send me on my way. It won't break my heart or change my life and I certainly won't go back to Extreme and complain about how unfairly that I was treated. That would be an insult to the other exceptional moderators that I have come into contact with here.
Hey Monte. Obsession can be viewed in a lot of ways. If you notice we don't have emoticons that say "Skins Suck." I rarely see a thread there without one of those stuck in it. Especially if a known Cowboys fan has something to say. To me that is just another brand of obsession.
Now let's address obsession. What exactly is wrong with it? I never have quite undestood that. I'm of the opinion that the rivalry is strong because the fans are obsessive.
If your site posts anti-Dallas threads or this site posts anti-Commanders threads who does it hurt?
Anyway, maybe this stuff is obsession. So is posting on our favorite teams. You can't tell me that your Mom/wife/fiance'/girlfriend hasn't made mention at some time or another about the time you sepnd on Extremeskins.
That's obsession. Is it unhealthy? I don't think so. Just an honest way to enjoy your team. This forum is an alternate option with a different view. Nothing more.
