Room for Disagreement

Side Show Joe · December 31, 2017

I can't understand why some on here get so angry about differing opinions. We are not a collection of robots. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and everyone is entitled to agree or disagree. We should be able to do that without name calling or getting ugly with each other. After a season where our Mean Green produced at a level few believed possible, we should be able to have constructive conversations about the direction our program is headed, or at least ignore the opinions we don't embrace. It tiring watching thread after thread get locked. Instead of arguing about a football season that has ended, lets focus on basketball. Both our Men's and Women's teams are doing well. Can't we all focus on supporting them?

I think more moderation is the solution. There are a few users that regularly go beyond a "difference of opinion" and start trolling other users. These users are regularly exposed for their unrealistic expectations and lack of fandom. This is the kind of thing that drives off other users. I think the board would be better off with more 7-day bans.
