The whole point of following sports is to get enjoyment, to be happier. However, when there are posters who are consistently angry, insulting or vitriolic, it really poisons the atmosphere. It really is frustrating to follow a team when doing so means having to listen to constant negativity which sucks the fun out of it. Yes, I understand part of being a sports fan means getting upset occasionally, but getting angry doesn't actually achieve anything. Watching the team lose games and make mistakes is painful enough, having fellow fans spew toxic emotions only makes things worse.

So I'd like to ask Matt to be less emotional when he posts, providing more sober analysis and less shooting-from-the-hip. And if he is especially heated, to think about stepping away until he has cooled off enough to post with out being angry. I'm not saying this out of some holier-than-thou attitude, but as someone who used to be really bad about how I acted online and has had to dramatically change my ways so I'm not so negative and hostile towards others.
