HIF, you're a good guy but you have to stop baiting and attacking other posters constantly because you deem them to be less of a fan than you. You're so defensive of your team that you often end up insulting the very same fans that the rest of RealGM picks on anyways, so now Heat fans are getting it from both directions.
If a poster is clearly a Heat fan, they should be allowed to vent about their team here. You can argue with them and tell them why you disagree, but you shouldn't insult them or try to make it personal, or argue that you're more of a fan because you never get mad at the players/coaches, etc.
I know guys do bait you, and try to make it personal with you, but that's what happens when you go so far out of your way in your views, you are a bit of an extremist. You have to accept that, without stooping to their levels, and if it gets bad, report them before you retaliate and get in trouble yourself.
I disagree with posters on here plenty, but I've learned for the most part to just let it go if they're a Heat fan. We all root for this team in our own way, no one way is the right one.
That said, this board wouldn't be the same without you. Even though I find myself disagreeing with you all the time, we need that other voice to be heard on here, it makes it more interesting, and makes guys have to work a bit harder to make their points instead of just screaming "OMG FIRE SPO" after every game.
And "whinging" is actually how its spelled across the pond? Or is it a different word altogether than "whining"?
