We have plenty of idiots and also "shock jock" type posters that purposely post unpopular opinions. I don't venture into politics too often, but plenty of morons in there too. It's a message board so people are going to disagree and argue.

The only poster I ever criticize personally is Argent. Other than that I try not to say that people's opinions are wrong or dumb. If I disagree with a take on something I try to explain why I think my way is better, but their experience shapes what they think just as my experience shapes what I think. People get far too caught up in why the poster is bad because they have a different opinion rather than why the opinion is bad.
I only get after CNE because he gives conservitives a bad name with his rambling word salads. Other that that I do try to approach others with different view points with respect to try to understand where they are coming from.

I have browsed through a few other fan sites political caves. We are very well mannered and respectful compared to them.

There is one thing I think we all can agree upon. The Mc Dermott years were just brutally bad.

This board is no different than in real life. I've seen plenty of disagreements between fans at games, even saw 2 "gentleman" who had to have been in their 50's fighting in front of their grade school aged children. One guy threatened to go back to his pickup and get his gun, at the point I kept walking to my car.

Is starting a thread with a poll about whether we are divided supposed to help in some way? Seems like it just invites expression of disagreement.

P.S. The most underused feature of this site is the "Ignore" tool. The site is so much more pleasant when you pick a few frequent posters to ignore. Now, if only people would stop replying to them, even those might go away.

I don't see it as divided.

There are a bunch of folks who are wrong and don't agree with me on things but as long as they understand that, I am fine with them.


I agree with you. There are a bunch of folks who are wrong and don't agree with me. Wait, what if that includes you? Then I disagree with you. Can I vote twice in the poll?

This site sucks, why can't I disagree and agree with a post? Why can I only select 1?

There's is plenty of hardy debate and ******** that goes on around there. That said, there's only ONE thing that can unite and bring the hands of CF together:

I think it needed to be brought to attention.

We're all pretty much aware of the divisions between posters regarding politics, coaches, players and uniforms. It's a microcosm of life.

There are some folks at ISU that I would walk away from, some that I would have a beer with (while debating what actually IS barbeque - hint, it's not ketchup and ground beef!) and some that I would be best buds with.

Same on CF. I have a few folks on ignore because their sole purpose here is to fan flames, and I don't need that kind of noise. There are a few threads I stay out of because a) I don't give a damn about the topic and b) they get pretty toxic, repetitive, or both.

You don't have to like everyone on the site. Neither do I. :)
