Why so much hate?

[Canada]

I have noticed a lot of animosity on the boards lately. It seems like everyone is fighting with everyone this offseason. I could understand it last year but why now? We are putting together a pretty good roster, new management, new coaches and still everyone seems to be fighting with each other. I have read a thread with a fight between Chief31 and DH (not that those two arguing is new ) and another one with prough and jmlamerson. Dbolan thinks I am following him around because he made one comment that I disagreed with and now has a hissy fit every time I post something in the same thread as him. Is this just an internet thing where you can act like an as$ cause you don't have to look at someone while you insult them? I guess this just continues to back my theory that some people will argue and complain no matter what. I just think that we should all sit back, take a deep breath and re read the forum rules about personal attacks. I am not pointing the finger at anyone in particular ( I have deleted a few of my own posts for the same thing ) but seriously guys, we are all Chiefs fans and we are all acting like as$holes to each other. So why don't we all just relax, have a cold beer and be friends.

Dbolan I apologize for anything I may have said to offend you. I do not like people bashing my team and when I commented about something you said then it may have gotten blown out of proportion and for that I am sorry.

Wow.

Now you are gonna suggest that I go root for some other team?


And you wonder where all the hostility is coming from?

I root for The Chiefs because I love The Chiefs. And when I complain about The Chiefs, it's because I think that they are failing.

I am not happy about the team I love failing.

Thus, I express discontent.

Implying that ones discontent makes them less of a fan, suggests that you are a better fan.

Hinting that one should go root for some other team is insulting.

Let me ask you this, King Of All Chiefs Fans...

How incredible a Chiefs fan are you, that you attempt to drive fans from the team?

How superior is a fan that insults Chiefs fans for being Chiefs fans?

The fact that you are willing to close your eyes to the negative aspects of what's happening to the team, or just willing to trust that all will work out, does not make you a superior fan.

Just a different type of fan than I.

With each signing or trade, each Chiefs fan will try to determine rather they like the move.

Sometimes you will be right in your judgement. Sometimes you will be wrong.

Hopefully, since I am not real impressed so far, I will be wrong this time.

Nice post Chief31. Couldn't have said it better myself.
