Like you previously said, many just stay away.

This used to be a fun entertaining board to help pass the time away while at work. It has gone down hill over the last 2-3 yrs.

I'm sure that has something to do with it.

The culture will change, even if it's just due to people not being allowed to post, but the personal attacks will not be tolerated anymore.

Can I personally attack the lady next to me who every morning I have to hear the same story from the night before told 50 times?

Look, I got a little more "aggressive" yesterday than I usually do. I wasn't feeling well to begin with, so I had a shorter fuse than I normally do. I understand I have strong opinions. I understand I tend to lean away from groupthink almost to a fault. However, if you don't like what I have to say, fine. Then take me to task based on the points I lay out. I just got sick and tired of one individual not attacking my argument, but rather attacking what I do for a living (which was probably my fault for revealing it in the first place). That's not an argument, it's a fallacy. It doesn't offend me, and I'll still live if he keeps doing it, but I did fly off the handle a bit yesterday.

That's what I mean - attack the argument (preferably with points), not the person.

Time outs will happen, and get longer each time, when it gets personal.

OH MY

FWIW....

ive got a buddy who is a customs officer at the airport in toronto. he meets and chats up all kinds of famous ppl. alot of hockey players. hes not a huge hockey guy so he usually has to ask me to clarify who it was he met.

on saturday he had a nice long chat with Matt Moulson. MM said theres a good chance he will be returning to Buffalo.

Now, i cant vouch for Moulson, but my buddy doesnt blow smoke (pretty serious guy) and hes super serious at work so im sure he didnt identify himself as a Buffalo native or a Sabres fan- so MM wouldnt be motivated to tell a fan what he wanted to hear...

I don't hate the idea as long as it's no more than 4 yrs. Preferably 3 years. If he had played all 82 games for Buffalo last year he'd of put up 54 points(based on his ppg avg while here).

im meh on it. gotta spend $$$ on someone i guess.

Gotta wonder why he would want to play here, especially in this stage of his career. whats the attraction? why not finally play for a winner???

i can see the sell to a Callahan- hometown guy, face of the franchise, lead the rebuild, trucks of cash. but MM is just a guy.

I wouldn't either after the last few months of hearing some disturbing stuff about her.

IMO he likes area and the money will be right. Also close to where he grew up Mississauga, Ontario.
