Stop the Madness!

What has happened to us lately? This used to be a place where Redskins fans could post some intelligent armchair analysis and, in turn, expect to read some agreements and rebuttals-that are well thought out. We're all very passionate redskins fans and we're passionate about several other things as well but the past two weeks it seems like nearly half the posts are personal attacks that do nothing to advance the basic mission of the Warpath-to be a smarter Redskin fan at the end of the day than you were when the day started, heck to be a smarter person. Because the more you know....knowledge is power!

Look, this isn't a contest or a job interview. There are no winners here. We have, as of this posting, 714 people on this site. There is simply no way we're all going to agree on everything. Nor should we. When you post something that can (and should) be debated, back it up and expect to be challenged on it. And if you challenge someone else's post support your argument. If you "support" your argument by questioning the validity of the poster, and not the post, then you really have no reason to post in the first place and shouldn't be wasting anyone's time (including your own).

Look at Daseal, this guy gets ripped on all the time (mainly for one reason-SPURRIER!) and he's been wrong before and he's been right as well but I've never once seen him take it personally or choose to turn posts into childish squabbles. We should learn to behave more like Daseal---did I really just say that ;)

Smack is right, nobody is alway's right, I myself thought I was wrong with one of my post's a while back, only to learn later on that I was right, so I was wrong. :laughing-

Smoot always knows what he's talking about.

I appreciate the kind words, Smoot. But I am guilty of the above offense, and I've been working on changing that. I need to take a bit more time writting my posts and try not to bring any sort of personal attack into anything. Good thread though, we all need to calm down.

We won't agree, and I know that bad times can bring out the heat of the moment.

The reason I started posting on these boards was the INTELLIGENT conversation, great wit and humor, and the fact that the forum had almost NO personal attacks.
Smoot is right...Let's show the world what CLASS we Redskin fans have!!!!

maybe its that time of the month... full moon, holidays, reskins at 2-4 and no ray of light for the passing game right now... maybe all the turf gremlins just thought that thewarpath would be a good place to hang...

I try to always argue the post, but once someone insults me, i get much more focused... i'll work on that.

I think that we need denim_monger to post more so that when we feel the need to take out aggression on some one it can be him.lol

Ya, that's what I was saying the last time he showed up. He united people who would have otherwise been arguing.

No kidding! Wher is Arkansas boy when you need him. :smashfrea
I quote Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?" ;)

smoot did you just say we should be more like daseal...and you expect us to not make personal attacks on people after that...heh, jk


Daseal looks like you might get your chance to prove everyone wrong if spurrier gets the job in miami this year. Im looking forward to the DISCUSSION, heh
