Overall, I am just tired of certain people (not you) making constant claims that I hate players just because I don't share their inflated views. The only Flames player I hate is Versteeg and since the day he was acquired when I shared my piece, I have said very little about him because I don't like insulting Flames players. Hell, I don't even dislike any other player in the organization. Maybe eventually those posters will learn that lesser expectations =/= dislike.
It may be how you word it?
You’re always going to get called out and put into a more bash worthy light the more aggressive your take is.
I.E
‘I think Ferland needs to be more consistent, I think it’s what makes him a bottom 6 forward rather than a top 6 at this time; but I do hope he ends up a good top 6 option for Calgary’
Will get a lot less heat than:
‘The most overrated Flame on this team. The guy’s a no show, no one caught him in the AHL unlike me, the guy was invisible a tonne! It’s so irritating that people think he’s so good when he’s really not.’
I’m not saying you do that, I mean, I think we both know we’ve approached subjects like that in the past. Hot takes get heat; you’re a wrestling fan: when you get on the mic, insult others’ opinions, and come out arrogant, they’re going to boo you. Then the equivalent of a ‘you tapped out’ chant will continue to haunt you.
