Most posters here seem to have a pretty realistic grasp on where we stand vis-a-vis the Big 3. We're closer now than we've been in the last 30 years, but it would still take a good deal of luck to win another title, and if this NIL chaos doesn't get reined in, we may never see another one.
You are one of the few who seems unable to accept that, though.
Has nothing to do with "dissent." We welcome alternative points of view as long as they're substantive and respectfully expressed. That's not what you're doing.
This is an NDFB message board. The one thing that brings us all together is our shared love of the program. Reading criticism of something you love is unpleasant, so negative posts are held to a higher standard here than elsewhere. That's a standard that you and
@PutuporShutup are not remotely close to meeting. Be substantive and respectful or get banned, simple as.
There are mods/ owners here that share your negativity. The difference is that their posts have substance, and don't invite the sort of low-value emotive responses that yours do.
Let's be clear about this. You're not some brave clear-eyed rationalist bringing the unvarnished truth to a bunch of Pollyannas here. You have not posted a single original thought on IE; it's all shit we've seen a thousand times before. You're just another middle- aged dude who can't deal constructively with his anxiety about the team, so you force us to read your emotionally driven contentless garbage. We aren't interested in serving as your personal support group.
The lack of self- awareness here is gobsmacking.
You and a couple other newbies have dragged this board down to the level of the paysite public boards recently, and I won't stand for it. Do better, or GTFO.
