You got that right, so stop doing it.

Why stop doing it? I'm describing, not prescribing. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's all part of the experience of being a fan.

And I'll admit freely that like many other fans, I'm susceptible to it too. That doesn't make it any less of an accurate observation.

No need to get your panties all in a twist.

As it is the sign of an irrational mind to swing wildly from highs to lows and back again in a repeated pattern.

You are the one throwing invectives around without qualification. Panty-boy.

No, you're the one imagining I'm throwing invectives around. All I've done is observe a tendency among posters to this board to swing irrationally from highs to lows, etc. I've further observed that this is a common tendency among fanatic supporters of athletic teams, and I've conceded that I'm as guilty as the rest of this behavior.

People who throw invectives around usually do so with animus, often in response to imagined slights, or because they're pissed that they got bested in an argument. All of which, coincidentally, appear to apply to you.

Oh yeah! Yer face!




(I just don't take things as seriously as most people on this board do. It is all just for fun. Lighten up.)

Isn't an animus that thing in Harry Potter that turns into an animal or something.





Yeah I read Harry Potter. I know right?

And fun is what I'm having.

Anyone who takes seriously what goes on here probably needs something else in life to fill the void.

All this aside, your original point is well-taken. I agree. The board is full of all kinds. Manic depressive fan-types I describe, and the more cerebral, dual-minded folks you describe. I'd say more of the former than the latter, but they're probably also the more vocal kind. But what fun is it really to be a fan and be overly rational about it?
