Popular Post HomeBrew Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Just to chime in on this debate about negative / positive posters and posts, a diversity of opinions in any forum is most welcomed. Just look south at the events happening down there. Group think is bad. Think for yourself and join a balanced discussion. I’ve been on this board a loooooooong time. I haven’t posted much, but I’ve witnessed a lot. I generally try to put a positive spin on “futures” but try to be realistic with “results”. As much I may dislike the negative posts on here that are advocated sometimes, it forces one to have a more thought out position. Those I feel like are over board in your response or negativity, I just ignore. But the opposite positions are valued all the same. The same can be said for positive positions. I wouldn’t be interested in this forum if it was ONLY positive and comments about how something didn’t live up their respected positions would always without hesitation be defended against. I like this forum because it’s highly active with a posters informing each other of recent information with a variety of viewpoints being offered - both positive and to a far less extent negative, but highly regard quality posts and content regardless. I would suggest others to adopt a similar view on this matter. This is a great forum and those monitoring it have been doing a great job. Looking forward to the season to start!

Strange, it seems like just yesterday you were saying Gauds is the second best center we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think certain posters defend players that are being unfairly targeted by "realistic" fans. They are then labelled as homers with rose coloured glasses. Yet when we point out constant negativity by posters, they cry foul. Some members are not Canucks fans and are here to incite. To me the tell is constant negativity towards the Canucks, but high praise for other teams with similar circumstances. There are media members here who know their hockey(some of them) but are not fans of our team as well. I agree that discussion involves taking into account things you may not agree with and sometimes we need to accept outcomes that we don't like. .

I do not support the “then their not fans” line of thinking. There are far better places to be a non-invested troll than a hockey forum. There is also an unlimited amount of reasoning that could influence someone to take a particular viewpoint. I know that I am guilty to taking a negative view for the sole reason that I feel like the discussion is unbalanced. Some posters may be fans since the 70s or 80# and are just disgruntled old men with a bone to pick because of decades of losing. Some people generally just don’t ever express excitement. You might get at most “they played well”. But that’s just people. We come in all forms and demeanors. Doesn’t mean they aren’t fans, or don’t belong here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to assume that every single one is a Canucks fan, go on ahead. You are now putting words in my mouth with "then their(sic) not fans". I'm not saying that all negative posters are not fans. I'm saying that some of them are not. I stand by that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeBrew Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, RWMc1 said: So you're acknowledging that not all CDC members are Canucks fans? Yeah, sure. Does that matter? You were trying to equate negative posters with not being fans of Canucks. That simply doesn’t hold up. And the reverse is also true. If you have problem with fans of other teams being here, I’m not sure you’ve been accustomed to such things as rivalries. Some of the best moments on here were during the playoffs when rival teams would sign up and try to rattle us.

I just don't have time for stuff like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
