I'm getting increasingly disturbed by the amount of (for lack of a better word) judging going on in the comments and forums.  Nobody is a bigger "optimist" and Kool-Aid drinker than your's truly, but I cannot stomach reading posters call out other posters for being "too negative" or worse "bandwagon jumpers."  To people who make those comments I can only ask "who are you to judge someone's fan status?"  

Everyone deals with the peaks and valleys of the NBA season in their own way and I wouldn't have it any other way.  A blog full of like minded people sounds dreadfully boring to me.  If you don't like someone's viewpoint or attitude, just skip over it and read someone else's.  We've got enough of a community here that you can engage in any number of conversations with endless viewpoints.  If someone is legitimately acting in a disruptive way, bring it to the attention of the moderators and let us take care of it.

Bottom line (as always): Treat all members on this board with respect.
