Right....This is a good start:
All is fine man, I will try to be less incisive and find a new way to get my message across. I'm just trying to temper things down and get the overall mood even keeled but maybe I get frustrated with the obstination of some people and get caught in the "emotion". But my intentions are not to attack people personally. I challenge their hockey opinions though and if they want to bash players/coaches/managers, I take exception with that as players are also normal people and are not here to defend themselves. If I was a pro hockey player, I would not be perfect as well and I hate this idea that I would be disrespected and free bashed as much. Of course we can say "no problem, they make a lot of money anyway". Personally, I think that money doesn't change everything. Being respected and appreciated for what you are is more important
Anyway, those types of behaviour makes for a pretty stupid society IMO, a bit like in riots : the more people involved, more primitive the behaviour becomes. I was there for the riots in Montreal after a playoffs series against Boston and it wasn't pretty. Also been in a few others. I see this "free bashing" as a bit the same, in a different way of course but internet still is a big problem. Anonymity makes it a bit unbearable.
Is this opinion totally intolerable for here? Because in my views, I don't see why it would. I'm basically complaining about whining/crying/bashing/scapegoating in general as it comes far too easy. I wish people were just more critical instead of just whining for the sake of whining. If they find me not diplomatic enough, what can we say about their narrative then? Because they are talking about people who are not here? What if they read? That's not considered personal attacks? That's where I think we have it wrong. You can't call out another poster but can certainly fuel your anger against people who are "not supposed to be reading"...
Finally, I think bashing is actually a trend in society, particularly on the internet. You can go read about anything and you will find many comments like "it sucks", "it's garbage", "ugly ****", etc. What does that even means? For example if it is about music, does it mean the "heavy critiques" would likely do a better song? I don't get that mentality and this sense of "my opinion is really worth a lot"...
