It's bad enough that I have to watch our team stink up the football field.  Then, at my watch party (this game thread) I have to read post after post about how bad we are and how our coach is an idiot and needs to be fired along with the AD.  But now, apparently,  to be a loyal fan I shouldn't watch my team at all?  I should just complain until they get better again?  

You don’t actually have to read all the posts from the nattering nabobs of negativism of they upset you.  Everyone has a right to post, good, bad, or ugly; but not everyone has to be read if you find their posts tendentious.  And that goes the other way too; for the people who find the Shawpologists too polyanna, you don’t have to read us.

I think we mostly agree this season has quickly turned into a bummer.  Despite the joys of beating $C and Oregon, here we are staring 3-9 or 4-8 in the face.  Some aspects of our game are just painful to watch.  And we're down to "Beat Kal" as the last measure of success.  We've been there before.

It sounds trite, but maybe we all need to remind ourselves that this is a discussion board, and that most discussions generally have at least two sides to them.  I complain a lot, but I especially don't buy the notion that any individual "owns" a thread and therefore needs to govern the discussion.  So let's Rodney-up, get along and deal with it.
