right. Like that's difficult around here.
Look.. Let it go people. We have all offseason to bitch and moan. At least wait until this series is over.
Milli isn't doing anything other don't do. It's can't be one side can grind their axe and name call and Millie is called a troll for having an opposing view. That's BS.
How about we pick this up after we enjoy our playoff run.
A truce requires both sides dropping it. Not just one. It requires some olive branch extending.
You'll really want to be dragging this crap around instead of enjoying the playoffs ?
Thanks hands. But it is becoming apparent. A positive fan is either a "troll" or attempting to attract hostile responses. Seems twisted to me.
It is twisted. But I now have a working theory after reading Pines post on how to bait posters on other threads.
I think this board has a troll infestation.
It was a ripe audience to troll since the Wizards had been in such bad shape. I think some trolls showed up and mixed in presenting themselves as Wizards fans just to troll the board playing on the genuine Wizards fans who were emotionally vulnerable to it.
There goal is to stomp down any optimism because they want to control the message of negativity so they can keep Wiz fans wallowing in suffrage. They derail any conversation about anything good that is going on by changing it to how to franchise is doomed for failure.
Trolls are a clever, sick, twisted bunch that get off on others suffering.
But like I said to you earlier. Things will play out however they will play out. If the Wizards win this series, there will be more people chiming in the forum. I expect the trolls to rally back with how that still changes nothing because CHI was weak. Then off to IND or ATL and if we do well there, there will be more of the same. Then maybe we face MIA. But even winning that won't be enough because Wade it run down now. So off to the title series. And then what will be the message?
Yeah great. Still can't win a title and now what? They can't grow from here because TA is gone or if we sign him he will eat up all the cap. And Webster is over paid. Plus Nene will get injured next year and Otto was a bust of a pick. The team has no path forward. #sowizards.
Just except the board for what it is right now. There are some good posters here. If they win more, more fans will show up and those troll voices will slowly get drowned out and called out.
As for you wanting to have a positive contribution to the board. Post in an existing thread instead of starting a new one which just give them a new platform to troll the board. Tweak your title from EG is a great GM to something a little more timely like EG has been a good GM or just EG proves Doubter wrong because he hasn't been great. All of that might not be his fault, but that harder prove. If in time they do well enough to say he have because good or very good, that will be obvious so no need to push it right now.
Let me put it in simple terms for you, just so you understand.
A troll is someone who wants to disrupt convo and screw up the board. It has NOTHING to do with positivity or negativity. Absolutely nothing.
Someone who says "Yay - Ernie Grunfeld is a genius because he drafted Vesely #6 and bid against himself to sign Eric Maynor to essentially a 2-year contract" is a troll because it's obvious based on statistical, objective data that both moves are failures -- almost historic failures.
I can't believe I got baited into responding to you. Jeebus H. Christmas.
Edited to add: "If you don't 100% support the Wizards owner, GM, and head coach then you're not a Wizards fan and you're a troll" is *exactly* the thing a troll would say. (It's akin to George W. Bush saying that if you don't 100% support the Iraq war, you don't support the troops.) And yes, you and your cohort are on record with such tripe.
