Bip - the "lovers" just post. The "haters" are the ones going out of their ways to destroy the spirit of the board.
Pfffft. Ridiculous. If people would stop going out of their way on their strange mission to squash all negativity, there would be a lot more getting along. Some of your anti-hater posts have been just silly lately. It seems that some hold the team to average expectations but continue to harp on scenarios that are best-case, even though they aren't likely. The others of us hope for the best, but are focused towards likely scenarios. In other words, we all know that a 15-0 start to the season isn't going to happen, so there's no point in discussing it. You want group buy-in that the team is awesome, then predictions of how many games the team will win have us centered ~.500 by both lovers and haters. Childish enthusiasm is great, but you can't have a realistic discussion with it; the "lovers" who are having issues know it, too, so I don't know why they continue to deny it.
I'm convinced that
some of the "lovers" argue just for the sake of arguing and are actually bigger haters than the supposed haters. This shows when you watch how they relentlessly put down ANYTHING good about any team not called the Knicks.
