FEATURED The life of online Cowboys fans

Its better to be realistic than clueless.

Do you keep that close of tabs on everyone here? You know every post they make?

I don't believe it for one second.

It's possible you keep tabs on a certain subject matter.....then you act like that's all a certain person posts in.

Love it when the bottom dwellers don’t like me.

So you should try being a realist then.

Like what? If you say Pollard needs to get more carries, I have been saying that for two years.

You doing shrooms or something?

For the record, I love you.

Are you? We agree on Zeke, Pollard, and Dak, but you told me to be realistic. Can you explain that?

 

[CowboyRoy]

For the record, I love you.

Gotta love the homers. They are the easiest to pick on.

If think we have a serious problem here with the definitions of "hate" and "troll".

Seems too many people define it as "Stuff I hate" or "stuff I don't want to read".

I hate people that leave un-eaten bacon on a plate..other than that, I don't hate any player or any forum member

The. "hate" term has now supplanted "amazing" as the most overused word. I can only blame the teenage girls for setting the trends picked up by some adults....damn those Taylor Swift fans...

I thought you were calling me clueless in this post.

Maybe I misunderstood? If so I apologize.

For me the trick is to differentiate between voicing your opinion and character assassination. Venting, complaining, disliking a player is never going away. I enjoy venting at times. It is usually temporary and sometimes I will read a post on here that causes me to see it from a different perspective. But personal attacks of fellow posters, fellow fans, is useless and never persuades anyone.

 

[Runwildboys]

Precisely!

One of the themes I hear over and over is "I could accept their criticism if it was warranted".

That means "if I agreed". Everyone has a different threshold about what's acceptable or not. If we could only just accept people's comments, instead of "going for the throat"...it would be an even better place.

I happen to think you CAN like the Cowboys and not be happy with ...say Dak for example. Or Zeke. Or Ceedee dropping a pass. Regardless of wins or losses.

Other people just go directly to the "hater" thing. Thread and discussion immediately nuked. Good job.

I'm a big CeeDee fan, but I understand he's been dropping too many balls lately, including two last week he seemed to blame on the sun. Now, maybe the sun did get in his eyes and blind him, but I didn't see anyone else complain. But I'll wear his jersey tonight.

If you notice.. A lot of the posters who do the personal attacks are the guys who are super sensitive about something critical you say about the team or a player on the team.

 

[Runwildboys]

At least you and me can tow the line

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

[ShortRound]

It took 1 whole post for the main culprit to start the drama lol

Hater

 

[Maxmadden]

Can I please just invoke the 5th?

 

[Whirlwin]

I’ve only put one person on ignore, in 10 years. I’ve never pressed the report button. I don’t mind critiquing. What I don’t like is trolling no matter whether we’re good or bad. We suck type , What’s wrong with being an individual. Not a hater, not a homer. Just somebody who can think for themselves. Isn’t that true reality

 

[Whirlwin]

Name me one member here who has posted something negative about Micah?
See TALENT speaks and shuts up all.....

I guess you weren’t here when he was drafted

That's the spirit. He is a very exciting player! Congrats on the jersey.

I’m hoping he’s not the next Dez Bryant
