love that this thread is basically:
- someone posts an incredibly stupid trade proposal (or several)
- otherwise reasonable people spend the next two pages telling them how stupid it is instead of just ignoring them like they should
what other purpose does a trade rumor/proposal thread have?
when I started people were allowed to post ideas as new threads... and people could have a direct conversation. that's what I loved
the boards management here told us to put it in one all-inclusive thread. or take it to the trade board
as far as real rumors go... we know that they rarely become real trades {I cant remember any on the bruin board that ever led to a real trade but im told im wrong}
so if the real rumors are next to pointless... and dead at the moment... then filling a thread like this requires proposals
people are more naturally negative then positive. its more fun to tear down someone elses idea than to just give it a thumbs up
more people will take the time to post if they feel negative then if they feel positive
so when you enter a thread like this... expect what you will find. that's the nature of this beast. it will always be the same
maybe the board administrators can allow us 1 thread for 'real rumors' and one for fantasy trade talk?
might helps some of you avoid this if it bothers you. and gives some of us a better place to have fun if we like it
