    What's happening to civility

    Is it just me ,or is there a new trend going around this board ? There seems be more malcontents , not with the team , but against each other. It's seems like when ever someone goes out of their way to add something to the forum . they either get flamed or criticized .
    T-Long came on to see if anyone had any questions for an interview . He didn't have to do it. He is trying to get answers to OUR questions.
    But instead he get's comment like "who cares" Crappy player !well I CARE!
    The same thing happens toPat Moran . It's not right ! If you don't agree with them fine. But there is a line between posting an opinion. and attacking the effort .

    We have more then a few who go out of there way to make this board the best. We have guys like Db, clump ,Mikey (to name a few) who put in the extra effort. ( I know I left out a bunch of people ) I don't agree with everything every body says. but that is what makes this board. Debate the issues, not the effort.
    I'm sure it runs through these guys minds that they might get torched, but they still put in the extra effort. It's easy to throw out the cheap shots, but not many of us are willing to go the extra mile.
    Without the Coach Sals, t-longs, patmorans, Db, clumps , and Michael82 this board would still be okay, but not the same. I come here first ,before I look anywhere else to get caught up on Bills news.
    Do these guys always get it right ? NO..but neither does ESPN. The difference is
    They aren't charging us ESPN insider fees.
    Jokes are one thing (am sill laughing @ the Maybin dress joke ) but how bout we give the guys doing the work around here a little more credit ?
    Not anyone (contrary to popular belief )can start a blog or web page. It takes more then the vast majority are willing to invest , and more talent then you think.

    With the lock out ,things have come to a stand still . Let's not shoot the messengers .
    OK , I've said my piece . don't like it ? too bad !
    The one perk to being one of the older posters is, I don't need to impress anyone.

      the ignore feature works wonderfully... If people are chronic douche bags place them on ignore. if enough people do this maybe some will get the idea and change tactics.

      but I know for a fact lots of people on this forum like it this way. They like the controversy and the callouts... not sure why but they celebrate it.

        Compared to BB.com and twobillsdrive, the zone is a much more civil place to post, but OP is right,
        Lets show some restraint/ respect to our more high profile posters. :pirate2:

          heck its alot nicer around here then in the past but i sure do agree with you SD...
          however you left my illustrious name out of your list of leading posters... I mean who can forget such memorable threads as "Is JP the real deal?" and "Is Trent Edwards the real deal?" and how about my finest moment: "Is Ryan Fitzpatrick the real Deal?"
          good god man, get your act together!

          In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

            Yup, kind of a mental punching bag of sorts, for some posters

                It's been a while since I have been here. I would only abuse the guy who suggested bringing JP back.

                    Doesn't the guy who doesn't care and the guys who think not so happy thoughts about other individuals have the same right as the guys who care and love everyone?

                            civility went out the window when my thread, blasting JP Lossman after the loss to the Lions, mysteriously vanished.

                              a thread like this usually pops up during offseason.
