Not quite the discussion for the knowledgeable fan huh

I just joined, but I read this site daily. Id say the last "war" between the kool aid gang and the anti kool aid gang clearly showed that differing opinions weren't long for this board, but that's just my op.

"Yet, far as I can tell, Steven, who inserts smiley faces into his message-board posts at a creepy rate for a 47-year-old guy (if his bio information on the site is to be believed), has never fully disclosed to extremeskins members the extent of the privileges granted him by the team for his attacks on critics of Skins management, let alone his apparent status as an employee of Snyder’s"

I actually went over to that other board today and saw that this freak is still posting smiley faces.

He won't. But he might ban the next person who suggests he would.

I'm suprised they actually revealed the member's name.

Damn Giantone. You must be a member of at least 32 forums around the league, lol. Oh well I'm guilty to. I'm currently a member of a Seahawks, Cowboys, Eagles, Bengals, Ravens, and Falcons forum. Though I haven't really posted on any of them, especially the Cowboys forum, that place scares me.

People here complain about the mods, but fact is, even though they are human, they allow for people to express their opinions without repercussions. All you have to do is pretty much not insult others, or be rude beyond belief. They have even allowed people to rant and chaulked it up to emotion. Not saying they are perfect, but I have been around, and they have the most patience I have seen.

Yeah the one thing that I see over at ES, and I post there quite a bit is that people just want to believe whatever the redskins do is great and that if you badmouth it, you are a bad fan. I know that a lot of people over there hate Czaban, but the guy to me is funny and has some valid points. He was out of line by asking that question of Brunell, but he asks the tough questions. Fans over there always say that Czaban hates the redskins. I don't think that its true. Just because you disagree with how your FO manages the team doesn't make you hate the team. There is very little tolerance over there, IMO. They do have some great posters over there, but it does get a bit of control with the protection of the Management of the team.
