And yet your entire point was still that I'm probably someone who lets hockey be a negative influence on my life. You say it's sarcasm and yet it wasn't. Sarcasm is when you mean the opposite of what you're saying. You mean exactly what you're saying.
Thanks for taking the time to teach my what being a fan is really all about, though. I appreciate it.
I'll explain it as simple as I can and be done with it.
You are the one that has failed to understand my point so please don't try to tell me what I mean. If you choose to take it personally and take it as an insult than by all means, but I'll be clear that wasn't the point. If you want to convince yourself otherwise, again, that's on you and I don't care because I can't control that. I was making no real assumptions about you as a person. You judged a particular type of fan by the way they approach their team and you insulted them (yet while you play victim by my comments you take no accountability for you own shadiness). I simply took your negative 'I'm a realist fan' approach and basically gave you a taste of the shoe being on the other foot. It was all in teaching you a lesson which is why my QUESTOION was sarcastic and rhetorical. You began the assumptions and insults. I turned the tide on you and asked if it was fun. Clearly you being on the other end of it would not likely be a fun experience. The comment had nothing to do with drawing personal opinons about you as a person or the way you live your life. This is the damn internet afterall. I used your approach simply to show you how your approach can just as easily be turned around on you and made to make you look like a lesser fan (or perhaps more stupid - like the way you tried to make out some fans).
I also said that it's perfectly fine for you to have your opinoin and it's also fine for others to challenge your approach so I'm not sure why you're trying to play victim and act like I'm teaching you how to be a fan. The entire approach was that there is no right or wrong way to be a fan. If you want to be negative, be negative. If you want to be positive, be positive. Being positive doesn't mean you have be likened to a child that doesn't know better just like being negative doesn't mean that you need to be likened to a bitter, pessimistic person. If you misinterpreted my post, that's fine. But I've explained myself as best I could and if you want to take it any other way, have fun talking to yourself because there's not much more I can say to explain myself.
