can't say i agree with the O.P. but...can't say i can completely disagree also. I guess there are 100 or so posters who "hijack" threads, the name PAOLO comes to mind,however...i really havent seen any thing to harsh said on here. Reality is,it's the internet...assumed identities.. really for all anyone knows, i'm the guy you sit next to at work, blue blood is your family doctor..you just don't know. does that matter tho? a little bit because i think sometimes, people just like to for lack of better word...be jerks..there are no reprecussions. i made a post the other day...why? because im from winnipeg and people on here constantly not only knock the 5-1 bombers but the city itself..one guys response to it.."okay,breathe". like is that neccesary? what does little comments like that add to the discussion.
thats all he said.."OKAY,BREATHE". thats it.... nothing else. just 2 stupid pointless words like i was some roid raging lunatic...its posts like that that i think the O.P. is refering too. there does seem to be a click on here who agrees with a lot of what certain posters say....there even seems to be some people who add nothing to the convo..but really its the internet...
im a guy in my mid 20's...1987 birth year. If i see something that pisses me off or is just wrong and ignorant...for example..i can deal with the bashing of the bombers, for sure..its when people bash the city i live in,even though they really have NO CLUE about it..that's when i think it's too much.
go ahead, its a football forum, crap on the team..who cares. but when u take personal shots against someone you dont know or take shots at a city you have no clue about..yeah..its too much.
but....like i said, it's the internet. the people who post the most..well, good for them.. i suppose if you wanted to post more and it doesnt include personal insults, all you have to do is log in and post... if you dont, well thats not paolo's fault or chiefs or anyones..it's your own for not logging in and posting..
but please do write to the cfl...i see plenty of topics on the main site (buck pierce injury topics) that are totally done in bad taste that really has no place on the OFFICIAL CFL FAN FORUM. They justify these threads and posts by saying its just done in humor..well, ITS NOT FUNNY and has no place.
but i think..well,theres 13 year olds on here,theres 25 year olds..30 year olds..40 50 maybe even some 60 year olds...
to each their own. i guess it would sometimes be nice tho if you were able to seperate the 13 year old threads from the 50 year olds...but...it's the internet. deal with it. personal shots,crapping on a city u have no idea about,pretending that your opinion is the only one that matters(paolo)..i could go with out honestly but...i dont run this site and i'm not even sure the CFL knows who runs the site.
