Sometimes, and this isn't directed at you, people need to lighten the **** up. It's only an intraweb comment...

But the problem is that people like Dane and Hamas used it to shut down almost any conversation and it was followed by a heaping of insults. If you really step outside of being someone who was in the Sanchez camp and look at most of the conversations, most anyone who threw out a different option for a pick was met with this immediately as well as being called reeruned, true fans, jokes about "Jesus Curry" over and over and over...
To me it's not about the insults necessarily, but more that this place became completely impossible to have an actual football discussion, not because of the n00bs, but because of the intolerance of a few posters to allow ANY other alternatives to their ideas. And most of those threads turned into the same circle jerk where a bunch of people were saying the same dumb phrases over and over again and making each other laugh. It's ironic, because some of the best "football people" according to many on the board, would refuse to actually have a football discussion because of the whole game that was going on all offseason with "true fans."
And with Mecca, come on. He repeatedly would start a thread just FOR controversy. Starting threads like "Someone explain to me what makes Aaron Curry worth the #3 pick," when EVERY thread for the past three months was a debate about that very subject. He would start threads like this and immediately bash anyone who offered up an opinion. What's the point, unless you just like to stir up controversy? That's Mecca's game, and now he is upset because people are playing it? And FWIW, if you look at most of the times he gets sensitive, it's someone disagreeing with him on a take on a certain player, and he says something like, "Are you trying to make me mad." or "Oh, you must just be another person that wants to disagree with me." or a slew of other phrases that we've all seen over and over again when someone simply disagrees with him on a player's value. As if people actually give a shit about making Mecca mad when it comes to liking or disliking a player/prospect. Who does he think he is, really? I'm going to like or dislike a player out of spite for Mecca? The fact is, HE turned every thread into something about him if you really follow it.
