No worries. Lol! No it doesn't and we prob all have unpopular opinions at times. Lol! It's more these other people that are tipping the scale in the wrong direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think I am a pretty nice person. But saying "I am sure you are one of the nicest people on earth" BUT kind of feels more like you are suggesting it is not actually possible lol. I actually regularly post ideas on what I think Benning can and should do going forward. How to manage the cap and use it more effectively to build out the team. How to regain some confidence from disgruntled fans so he can more effectively do his job. The trouble is, it doesnt really matter if I am criticizing past moves or giving an opinion on what future ones should be, the response is going to be exactly the same from all the same people. And thats fine. Expressing opinions is kind of the point of cdc. You not liking how I express mine kind of doesnt matter. Just like me not liking how you express yours kind of doesnt matter either. I dont need other cdc member approval or upvotes or whatever other meaningless gesture you might find important. I express my opinions. People express theirs back at me. Simple as that. Its really not a life altering tragedy. I enjoy the banter to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont know what info I have or dont have though. You just assume you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_BOI_pete Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 i know you all think its easy, but being the GM is a lot different than being a armchair. but we can still make fun of him witthout being mean, this photo although photoshopped probably exists on Jims phone somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the banter to be honest. i'm not saying that at all. we are all canuck fans and want what's best for the team. i'm saying constant negativity sucks the joy of being a fan out of me. i guess i can ignore it or leave the site. it is not your opinion that bothers me, in fact i agree with some of your opinions, it is repeating it over and over. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its my job to ensure you enjoy cdc? But at the same time you can limit my enjoyment of it by telling me I can only post opinions that support your enjoyment or xcheerlead for Benning? Something about that doesnt seem completely logical or fair. Its easy to ignore people. Just put me on ignore. Problem solved and no one has to leave.

Why is it so hard for you to understand it's not what you're doing, it's how you're doing it!! Myself and others are all telling you the same thing...how stubborn do you have to be to not listen and keeping doing it, then deny you're doing it.

Bad_BOI_pete Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 hey @wallstreetamigo has a point. this is starting to turn into a witch hunt. he makes convincing arguments, and backs them up. he isn't the issue with CDC. its the people that come onto the proposals/roster and GDT/PGT and just spread tired out insults and memes over and over, like they are stuck on repeat. He also points out that there is die-hard supporters that are part of the problem, this is probably true. It's just harder for supporters to see that because we think we are "true" fans. if we spent more time ignoring each other there would be less fights, but then we might have to do more IRL things GROSS! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
