I like that.
I agree with what you say and we do need to be courteous of other people's opinions. Hopefully I am one that does but I know there are some posts that anger me.
If I do get out of control I would like someone to send me a message to alert me.
I try to be reasonable and hope I am successful.
Thanks Nodak for bringing this up.
Great point. I hope if I am ever out of line, I would get a message from a mod. I see people arguing and see negativity but I just don't see how that bothers people. I guess I am just thick skinned but I can see their point. I don't have many Vikings fans where I live and this site has brought me closer to some. I don't want people to leave because I want to meet more Vikings fans and grow relationships. Lets all just tone it done and remember we are a family and not bitter rivals like those Puker fans.

I personally haven't been around as much because of life circumstances.
When I have been here, I haven't been able to participate as much, mostly because of the size of PPO.
I don't post as much because everything here seems watered down, so many little posts, that I don't have time to sift through to the good stuff.
I sometimes start to type a post and say, I don't have anything more to add than what has already been said.
I like the PPO of old.
I am glad that so many people get a chance to use PPO, but it has become watered down to me.
JMHO.
Don't get me wrong, PPO is the only Viking site that I frequent.
Just my opinion but if this is the case with some mods then maybe we need to think about adding more.

+1 on all of that ... right down to the only Viking site that I frequent.

If I am the only one who feels this way, let me know.
I can retire to the ranks of lurker with the others if need be.
But I suspect that almost all of us would prefer some more maturity here.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
As I've always said - this is the internet kiddie pool.
PPO is as civil a place as I have ever been.
Long-time members who want to leave need to spend some time in some other places so they realize how good it is here.
I am personally attacked more than anyone.
I can handle it, for the most part.
When lies are used to attack me as a human being and father, that's when the line is crossed.
If you want to make an appeal, then I think it should be to ask "long-time members" not to post the same "hate" in every single thread they go into.
That's the only thing that drives me from wanting to be around here.
I will try to do better.
But if I am personally provoked or attacked, I'm going to respond.
Until such time as the men in charge tell me to cut it out - which they have only on certain occasions.
Crying for the "Good Old Days" ignores the reality of what a changing society means for both the "good" and the "worse".
Things change.
Sorry if this isn't as concillatory and rah-rah as others have been.

That wraps up my thoughts pretty accurately too... ironically, it was posted by Zeus.
I know I post the same hate about Sage and Childress. I'll make a conscious effort to stop doing that and attacking people for their opinions, no matter what I may think of them.
