Good question 12th man. I dont know about WORST website. Theres still a ton of awsome info on there, that even you can't find on a great website like this. As for message board specifically, I find it hard to disagree. Its just way to unorganized for me, even though i'll throw up a post on there from time to time.
I didnt read the entire article though. If you look at the entire website (which I dont think most people do), then I disagree. If you look at specifically the message boards, I could see where they are coming from.

I think I've tried to post there like once or twice and gave up. Plus, I wasn't really drawn into any of the discussions there. That doesn't really make any worse or better than WarPath though.
I don't doubt that the guys at extreme are no less passionate than we are, I just feel like it's more like family here.

Yeah I don't get it either. I post there from time to time, and I haven't seen "No Accountability Venom" there...

Shapiro is a tool and his shot at extremeskins is a valied shot at sites like this too. His "no accountability venom" comment I would imagine refers to fans who crticize the skins from behind a keyboard where they aren't held accountable. But all that comment does is reveal how out of touch he is. First off where else can fans discuss a team like this. Second areb't we allowed to disagree with moves the teams makes and get upset when they play badly. Thirdly I think online communities have different a different culture when it comes to accountability. We all challeneg each other when we disagree. What is his definition of accountability? Some guy beats your ass in a bar when you say something bad about Lavar or Brunell? What a tool Shapiro is.
