Re: NFL Off Topic 2012
The thought was really for both of you but thaima1shu really just posted the links and kept it moving. But I'm sure there are quite a few around here that will confirm, I get up in arms when anybody makes a general statement that sounds like it's calling a group of people out for something that hasn't happened HERE. It creates an unnecessary back and forth (like this one that I am very much a part of so not pointing a finger at you). It's usually either blowing what one person said out of proportion or, as in this case, getting worked up at other sites that are much "looser" than this one and then taking out the frustration here.
I also read into EVERYBODY'S posts... and people do the same to mine. I don't want to continue down the path of calling out Hawks fans but some of you seem to have a chip on your shoulder recently. The world is not against you... being more specific, OS is not against you. It seems like anything slightly negative against any of their players turns into a war and it's unnecessary. I'd take Sherman on the Ravens in a heart beat and didn't see anyone else say anything against the guy. All teams have their fantatics but it's getting a little tired around here seeing a new post from a Hawks fan going off about one of the players getting disrespected.
To be clear, I don't think your posts here were that bad, and definitely don't think thaima1shu's posts were either. But I want you to understand where I'm coming from, dissecting what you said to this level. There was really no reason to mention anyone hating Sherman here. If anything, you could've gone off on Williams.
