You would think that because we were so bad all these years the focus would be on holding the division lead and winning a playoff series instead of the blame game on our stars and how to blow the team up. Any positive talk here is out of place. Some of the comments in these posts are just disturbing. You make a positive comment and people respond "can I have what you are smoking." This isn't right. The injuries add insult to injury but this board is crazy. I know people post here to vent but the "no hope" speech is getting old. Hopefully we can get healthy and get some rhythm going before the playoffs. I consider myself a level headed Knicks fan and will not forfeit to the overwhelming negativity that is the majority here.

I completely agree. It's gotten real bad on this forum. I agree that people would rather the Knicks lose with Melo just to say I told you so.

Then why stay? I don't want you to leave but I just never understood it when people started threads complaining about the forum. There are so many different forums out there you could choose from. It's like a millionaire who complains about how bad his car is rather than just buying a new one.

This forum has been great for 12 years. It's the so-called fans who drive it down trying to prove Melo is a grabage player and we were a better team with Gallo etc. It's the ones who try to prove a point every time. Not the real fans. We have a lot of Nuggets fans on this board, we will put it that way. General negative talk is fine and needs to be there. But there is a major divide here with true fans and Melo-hating fans.

See? To me you are the type of fan that makes this what it has become. Who appointed you judge and jury of real fandom? What gives you the right to call someone a fake fan? All you do is come here and whine and bitch and call people fake fans because they dont ride Melo's jock the way you do. How is this basketball related??

I dont think Melo is garbage, I thought Marbuty was. I think Melo is selfish, non team oriented and not committed to doing what is needed for the team to win. He is commited to being the entire offense so he can win the "Scoring title". I dont like Melo and I dont need people like you telling me what to root for. And I have every right to criticize him every time I post. You may have a problem with that but I don't give a flying flip about what you and your problems.

Forums exist so people can post their opinions, forums dont exist so a bunch of idiots running their mouths can force everyone else to conform to their own belief systems. But over here every thread now becomes a refenrendum on people who "hate" Melo and we have to hear insufferable pompous pricks like you telling people how to be real fans.

Ask yourself a question please. Were you posting prolifically when the Knicks were playing really well in November or December or did you return to post a lot when the Knicks struggled. If your answer is the latter I am not sure what your goal as a fan is for a team that despite their recent struggles has their best record in March in at least 13 years. (Lowey not just addressed at you).

What does it matter? He can post whenever he wants without the permission of others

Thanks Guns - Not sure when these people will understand the idea that I dont need to explain my goal as fan to them??

This is exactly the problem with this board - Self appointed loyalty police with this holier than thou attitude, who think they own the place and everyone else needs some kind of "rights of passage" to post here. Since when do you need a "goal" to be a fan anyway???
