Last time I looked we are 1/1 like alot of good to great teams and we are only two games into the freaking season.

I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from visiting here, but honestly these boards will drive you nuts. I find myself giving up on threads after 20 posts or so.. The over analysis is insane, and most of the time it slants to the negative. Just watch anytime someone tries to start a "positive" thread, it either gets overrun by the negative nellies or it gets a quarter of the responses of the other threads.

You've gotta take everything with a grain of salt. People in general love to crab and complain. I see it everywhere on message boards I frequent. I like to visit boards from some of my favorite bands, and with the way the discussions go you would think nobody even likes the band. Everyone rips new songs, albums, what they wear, what they say, ugh it's ridiculous.

You're absolutely right about everything you just said. I think I'm going to be more conscious of my own negativity from now on.
