It's a wrong speculation

2) When things are going so bad for the team, who wants to talk about it a few times per day? ONLY US DIEHARD FANS, and for what its worth losing has surely worn on all of us and at times its hard not to blow up at people for not being objective. Sometimes the truth hurts and alot of the guys you dislike are right more than they are wrong.
Some of these guys have left for a few years now. They were no less a die hard fan than you and I.

3) FACT: ChiefsPlanet had more posts in 2009 than in any previous year of its existance...not just more but 25% more!!!! Some have left and some have been gained.
This does not excuse the fact that the place is going to shit. A lot of the newcomers who are attracted in are the type that were not tolerated in the better days of the BB. They just come in, some straight from HS and find the place quite high-schoolish.
I dont recognize your username from the Coalition, what is it over there?

I have a legitimate question for you man, if "certain posters" bother you so much, just put them on ignore. Simple as that.

"Certain posters" do not bother me for me. They bother me for what they do to the environment of this BB. I've gone over that already and won't repeat it. In the past I have tried the IGGY and quickly found it unpleasant that I was being attacked without knowing. I have NEVER backed out from anything and anybody when my values and principals are involved. Putting folks on ignore puts you in a disadvantage against the the who are messing up the Planet. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind an atmosphere in which SOME envelop-pushing is done. After all this is a Football forum. But some of this shit has gone on too long and the bottom-feeders have gone over the line too many times. Like I said, I'll do my part to help disinfect the forum some before I even think about leaving. I just hope the silent majority will help along.

One more thing: When I have already declared that I want to expose the low-lives of the BB why should I cut myself off from all the material? Just does not make sense.

You know as well as I do that the Coalition is more like the "tailgate" experience of BB where as the Planet is more of the "smack talking, on the field" atmosphere.

I enjoy both types of conversation.

I agree with you that the Coalition is more on the dull side. That's why I don't post there too often. This is a more dynamic Chiefs site. But is that a license to be total ass-holes as members? Again, I would be disappointed if some put downs and needling didn't go on here, but I'm talking about inmates taking over and taking things way over the line on in terms of personal attacks. It has become very toxic.


If I can make a suggestion to you, just put a couple of them on ignore and dont engage in personal attacks any longer.

TAKE THE HIGH ROAD!

Believe me, if you ignore it and there is no satisfaction for them to throw stones, they will lose interest and move on.

I have tried before. It has not worked. Trust me. I don't consider myself the brightest poster here, but I decided long ago to meet the Neanderthals on their own turf and still beat them in debates. When they start PMing each other and resort to neg-repping for just any post, I know they are defeated in the wit department and are now desperate. BON I find it rather satisfying.

BossChief, sorry, I went to bed last night and did not get a chance till now to get on-line. Please read my answers in red.
