I have no problem with opposing viewpoints. I'm sad that a lot of formerly active posters have trailed off in their activity. But I'm also going to say that opposing opinions should never be pushed to the point of acrimony or anger, and there are some yet-unnamed other posters who just DGAF about that.
If someone is creating an atmosphere and using language where people wouldn't go out and have a drink after a bowl game together afterward, I don't think their opinions are worth it. I value Stanford sports for the connections it creates with other Stanford fans, not for some artificial title of "best opinion holder" or "most zealous." Being right has never been worth breaking camaraderie.
It's just sports. And Stanford ought to be the best at them.
