I joined a few Facebook pages that discuss the team and they are downright awful and full of idiots. The discourse here on DBR is not as polite as it used to be and I swear if I see one more condescending post where someone claims an opinion is false because they don't have some obscure stat to back it up...
One thing to always remember, that I think gets forgotten around here: if you must attack, attack the subject being posted, not the poster.
Of course, don't come on here and expect to get instant respect. It's earned here just like everywhere else. That's just life.
Listen to Herm Edwards and "Don't hit send". I can't count how many replies I've typed and then just dumped.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Oh yeah??!? Well, ummmm...., your mom!!!
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
