You need to be SUPPORTIVE!!!! I sure don't see much of that around here. I see a LOT of FAIR-WEATHER fans that don't understand the game.

Here's a little history lesson for you guys that are having a hissy-fit.

Emotions tend to get the better of some people after a loss- after consecutive losses, some become really irrational.

are you sure you ai'nt a cowboys fan in drag?i have never known a skins fan to rag on the skins as bad as you have the year and a half i have been posting here

I was trying to curtail the stupidity, and put a positive and hopeful light on things.

Ramseyfan, most (not all) of those quotes were from me. NONE were directed at you. Why in the world did you take them personally?? They were clearly directed at the hysterical fringe that was calling for Gibbs' ouster, etc (I won't go through the list again - I already did it). There was absolutely nothing directed at you, and absolutely no personal "attack" in this thread until the "unamerican" post. That has no place here.

Just a suggestion. Try not to imagine everything is directed at YOU. Clearly, none were until your posts on here, and CERTAINLY none because you wanted to bench Brunell. Hell, I answered THAT one right after you posted it, and you went on with your persecuted posts as though nothing had been said.

Please don't make any more harsh personal attacks as you did in that post, and I won't respond to you the way I did.

It's amazing how much positive feedback I got from those same statements you quoted, and many of the positive posters also, like you and me, have advocated benching one player or another. Somehow, THEY did not feel personally attacked. This thread was intended to be a generate a positive, hopeful outlook, and you managed to turn it around.
