I say reconsider keeping the poll going and tell Buster (and those of his ilk) not to bother responding in the thread if all they're going to do is say "you're a traitor and not a real fan" and if he can't do that, just ban him. Enough of this shit. Why should the rest of us have to suffer so he can have his fun. He's not more important than the value this thread can bring to the site each game week.

I agree. Funny how I've been a member of this site for over 2 years, have put time into nearly 3,000 posts, yet I'm not a "real" fan. That type of ignorance bogs this great forum down.
Your last sentence is really the crux of the whole thing. These prediction threads during the regular season not only offer a poll, but are amongst the most posted on threads in this place. They add a ton, and two or three people throwing around their "traitor" comments are better off elsewhere.
Here's to the good of the site, not the dumb opinions of the few.
