    I don't disagree with the right for someone to have an opinion but down votes is juvenile.  And the community?  Seems like that is why message boards are dying out.  Tend to end up being a bunch of bullies who attack anyone who disagrees with the group think of a few people.  That is why Facebook is more popular.  People put their real names and photos on there.   And all your friends and family can see your behavior.  And no dislikes. 

     

     

    Then maybe Facebook is more for you, no reason to contribute to the conversation if you see the community being that way. As for the "bullying" thing, I could see that if people just constantly used ad hominems and ridiculed for the very idea of an alternate perspective, but that's mostly coming from the person trying to defend themself (i.e. you saying "you guys are like three year olds"), but people bring different reasons as to why they disagree with an opinion, hence why everyone is flooding a single person. People aren't just attacking people because they have the audacity to have an opinion, they're trying to prove their side as right, turns out that's on Facebook as well as any forum you can come across. Also, yet again you seem to care a little bit too much about down votes, I don't see why you would call it juvenile for the reasons I mentioned earlier, and you use no dislikes as a positive for Facebook. As I said, they're not meant to be taken to heart, just adds context as to what the general community feels about a comment, there's no positive or negative to down votes.

    I don't care about them.  Give me more.  I think it is funny on a board they are shutting down you are giving them out.  It is sad actual

    y that you think an up vote or a down vote is significant in anyway.

    I never said they were significant in any way, they're just a way of showing what the general reception a response has. They're not supposed to be taken as important, just shows what the community thinks of a certain idea. Just because the boards are shutting down doesn't mean that people don't feel the need to show how ignorant they find a comment to be. But you see a lot of down votes on things like mock drafts that people don't agree with and misinformed opinions, you are the only one that feels the need to let people know that you disagree with their down votes. Most people would defend their opinion, sure, just not ridicule the very idea that someone disagrees.

    Ah, saw that yesterday and forgot about him as well. Good hands but those feet, it's like trying to catch an angry fly. He broke plenty of ankles.

    Heard he's a great receiver, just lacks power in the run game. Don't know that much about him other than that besides what you said.
