Thats like standing on the beach and saying sometimes its hard to tell the world has water.
 
It's the rare exception of posters on here who don't love this team. It's why many get so frustrated because they have poured their heart and soul into following the Blazers for years. Apathy is the opposite of love, not frustration because you want them to do better, believe that they can, and see ways where it is.....
....quite possible.

And they get called bandwagon fans. The self-righteous people are worse than the people that cause drama.

In my short time in this forum I've seen a poster (Serbian) wish death upon our coach and witnessed more comments of pure hate and disdain during game threads than I could ever imagine.
There is little love for this team when things aren't going well. This forum takes passive'aggressive to rare heights.
Frankly, I'm not overly impressed with the quality of posters in here. I expected more than over-reactionary emotion and more understanding and honest awareness of each game and situations. Not a bunch of kids who pout when things don't go your way.
I do find humor in the fact that people in here can bash and ridicule the team but hell comes to any outsider who dares try.
Last nite there was a Warriors fan (dubsfan) in. He was respectful and factual and told to "get the fuckity fuck fuck outta here."
That was embarrassing and classless.
But, it is entertaining.

For many this is a place to vent about the team. Frankly, people that are spending hours posting on an obscure forum like this are probably more passionate than most of the fan base.

Also we are sports fans, do you honestly expect enlightened discussion most of the time? Sports fans man.....just let that sink in for a moment.

This forum (and Blazer fans in general) is actually extremely tame compared to other teams. I read other team forums from time to time and they are significantly more vile. Ever read Spurstalk? Clutch fans? Lakersground? They make the stuff here sound like kiddie talk. Go read the game threads for the Nuggets or Thunder during those series. Literally 90% just profanity ridden bashing of the team...

A better analogy would be like going to the Lincoln City beach and complaining that there is too much sand and the water is salty.

I am not at all happy when people say harm on a player or a coach or even NO. I thought the Dubsfan guy was obviously trolling us, and he didn't say anything bad but come on why is he here, it's too rub it in and enjoy watching "us" suffer, but some of the posters definitely did not treat him well.
You can call it whatever you want, but the fact is people are absolutely emotionally invested in the team, which means ups and downs. Usually, both the ups and the down's come in waves and are short-lived.

Last night sucked I'm a fairly even-keeled guy, but I was pretty pissed off at what I thought was terrible officiating in the 3rd and I honestly believe that was the end of the Season for the Blazers, whether they win a game (hey maybe 2) at home or not, their chance to make the series competitive and have home court vanished last night, and that as a fan who is also a person sucks! It is what it is though, I'll watch their final couple games, be glad overall for the journey they had this year, and take "some" solace in the fact I think a healthy Nurkic means they beat Denver in 5 or 6, and Teams can't guard them the same. You can call me whatever you want over-reactionary, an elementary school student, whatever knock yourself out, but it sucked watching that, was a fun ride to get here.

the drama people have taken over the forum for two years...game threads have become unbearable...fucking king of the mountain arguments are childish and boring...but hey...some folks call that fandom...I call it angst...some folks just seem to live to suck the joy out every damned game win or lose. Chief gets 9 and 6 in the first half and there's a giant meltdown when he misses a shot. Not even CJ gets that kind of hate for missing shots. Some forum members come to cheer and honestly, it's not a supportive environment for that these days....fans are "Stotts apologists" not Stotts supporters …...Even with a million fire Stotts threads, it carries into every thread on the boards....personally I find it less than entertaining. Supporting the team is not being "self righteous" but really, drama is not stemming from that camp. I love this team, like the coach and fuck anyone who has a problem with that...we're in the WCF for Christs sake...enjoy the ride

That’s a reasonable take as well. I use the game thread to vent my frustrations during the game because I’m way more emotional during the game and need somewhere to vent. I try not to engage in actual discussion during a game. I’m not rational nor do I expect others to be rational in that state.

I actually do feel bad for how annoyed I was last night and even this morning, you're probably right. I can't speak for others and how they're feeling but I didn't handle it as well as I should, and for guys like you (whom I really respect) I apologize for being dramatic.

I don’t see why you should apologize for being a fan. It’s not like your posts are directed at the poster. I roll my eyes at some of the extremists around here. Sometimes I’m the extremist. But I would never think they need to apologize for being brash. We’re all fans, the fanaticism just comes out in different ways.

It's mainly because I don't want other posters/fans experiences to be negatively affected by me being crazy.

Blazer fans are just like their team....too nice. You would never see this type of behavior from a Rockets fan. Maybe that’s why our team has been a punching bag in the playoffs for so long.
