Maybe Alex Smith is good.") Lately you've been fitting pretty squarely in the second type.

Whatever the overwhelming opinion is on this board arrived because people came to this place with that particular mindset. Some came here with other attitudes, and then switched after having discussions. Others still latch onto their opinions, but they're still valued football contributors to the community nonetheless.

Calling it groupthink is just being butthurt because your opinion isn't the popular one

The problem is that we have recently been regularly chasing people away not because of their attitude, but because of their opinions. We get a steady stream of reports of "trolling" when someone doesn't agree with the group. That's my complaint.

Hell, maybe I need a break too. If all we're going to hear is bitching about how bad the team is and how awful the guys are that everyone was so excited about 2 months ago, it's not going to be much fun to be an optimist.

See ya.

I have to agree, DaFace. I may not post much any longer, I thought I might find good discussion about this trade instead, it's pretty much nothing but Genious (Chiefsplanet Spelling) in here.

There's no point in even trying. Im older and tired and not willing to waste my time pointing out that, at the very least, the team should at least play a game (or even two) before declaring the next season a complete failure.

But just as I created over 10 years ago, The Lexicon holds true.

The same guy who egged you to to coin that (guilty) is the same nearly extinct breed on here.

In the old days people didn't just talk here but actually knew each other. It wasn't just facebook time it was a means of getting together both in a passion and in real life.

THings people fear now.

It does and probably will for many years to come...
