Thank you for making this so easy.
I started this thread to provoke thoughtful discussion. The rigid thinkers here have taken that personally and have just become provoked.
Let's talk trolling...since so many of you are classic at that: post anonymously and avoid the questions which I asked... opting, instead, for your usual rigid-thinking, broad blanket slams. Very impressive.
100%cat--My orig post asserts that there are some here who 1) root for state and the 'Cats and who 2) show a paternalistic/haughty attitude favoring state over the Bobcats. ('There, there little Bobcats. Enjoy who we are since we can never compete with state' type of attitude.) I think it's fair to say that we've seen that attitude here.
Then, I ask some questions. So, 100%cat, where does my original post make declaratives. Where do I insist that split loyalties make someone a bad fan. I merely asked questions to gain context, to see how split fans handle their Ohio side on state boards, etc.
In later posts here, I take people to task for not answering my questions. That's my integrity thing. I think that it's fair for people to address the issue at least in some way. Instead, we get the usual rigid thinkers with their usual, rather inane, reflexive (no thought) slams.
Integrity. Posting under one's real name instead of hiding in anonymity. Try it; show a little bit of grace.
