Man society really has become soft.................................I understand political views a lot better after reading posts like this, then again sports fan forums are the exact same content as political forums.
Using power words to bolster your opinion just makes me eye roll: "Asinine and abhorrent" classic!
I could spend hours debating and wasting my breath because you are not unique in your beliefs, so I'll just say: "Welcome to Earth!"

The problem with that is not everyone negative is posting for your feelings on subjects. They vent their frustrations on a private forum so that they don't do it in real life. The fact that there are people that can't take negativity in a sports fan forum is the real issue.
Really, it's simple. I (and others like me) prefer to enjoy the games. Some others prefer to rant and rave, whine and complain. Hey whatever. What's that saying?????...... if it weren't for optimists, pessimists wouldn't know how happy they weren't. Whatever blows your skirt up or floats your boat. Scream and yell till the cows come home. Just don't have a stroke!!!

I agree.... and it can be frustrating, especially when the team is struggling against a 3-14 team, and have literally blown four other games.... So for some it's just a build up of frustration. I was madder than a hornet in the 3rd quarter of last game, and if I had been alone I would have broke the screen on my iPhone from typing so damn hard
I know, it sucks!!! If it weren't for those damn games we blow, we'd be 17-0 every year and nobody would be talking about the 72 Dolphins!!!! Wow, mad enough to break your iPhone???? I got so mad when Arizona took the lead, that I almost kicked my fish. Now that would have been a mess!!! Fortunately, Arizona kicked off and the Rams had the ball so I was distracted.I agree.... and it can be frustrating, especially when the team is struggling against a 3-14 team, and have literally blown four other games....

Yes. It blows my mind that there are fans who talk about getting rid of McVay. They must have forgotten what the pre-McVay decade felt like.
I gotta admit I find this thread fascinating just from a psychology standpoint. Some of us enjoy the GDT and some of us are extremely annoyed by it.
Just my opinion, but I agree with @OldSchool on this one.
Rams have been freaking awesome ever since McVay got here. For me, on the rare occasions when I participate in the GDT, it noticeably decreases my enjoyment of the game. I find that several posters (not just a few) try to out-do one another with over-the-top random negativity.
I guess I could follow the advice of @12intheBox and put a bunch of posters on ignore, but frankly that's a hassle because there's so many of them! And some guys are toxic in the GDT but more level-headed before and after the games.
Generally speaking I really enjoy the conversation on this board, before and after the games. But during the GDT? Too many posters go overboard with the whining. IMO. To each their own.
I know everybody is entitled to their opinion but if somebody says that, clearly they don't know WTF they're talking about.
Which is why I SMH at fans who bitch and complain during or after games. Short memories.
"Oh I'm just blowing off steam". Really? Rewatch any game from 2005-2016 and then tell everybody how bad the Rams are currently.
They are football fans ... they are Rams' fans ... they are ROD brothers ... they are entitled to their opinions
... oh, and they are Fucking Morons
There can some serious trolling on the GDT.
I reached out to the moderators and I guess they can't do anything about it.
100% people who are rooting against us get in the GDT and troll it up.
I LOVE good mature thought. And most fall in that paradigm.
But maybe the GDT is not for me.
When I go to the games I seem to be with much better company.
GO RAMS!!!

I doubt anyone has said that (seriously) beyond maybe the first three years of his tenure and if they did they're less than 1 per cent of Rams fans.
I don’t think he’s advocating censorship. It sounds more like he’d just like certain posters to give it a rest some times. Maybe mind their Ps and Qs and give our coaches a little benefit of the doubt BECAUSE THEY’VE EARNED IT!
I generally don’t go in there during the game because it only pisses me off seeing many of the same posters spew the same garbage and rants only to have them disappear when things are going well or not showing up to discuss any of the other various topics on here. But you can be damn sure you’ll see them back in the GDT or in the vent threads.
None of them know what McVay is seeing on that field, from the team they’re facing, what the play call actually is, or if it was execution or bad design, or bad timing.
Sure we all get frustrated at times. We all think a different play should have been called or a different player should have been in. That’s natural. But some get WAY too invested in their opinions and act like the team would be better if they were calling the shots. And it happens virtually every game and often very early.
Funny… we went 12-5. How correct could they really be?
Again… I get the emotions. But it is a real turn off to me personally and many others I’ve talked to when the usual suspects talk so much shit that several of us simply tune out of that thread unless we are kicking major ass.
Why is that even fun? It sure doesn’t look fun to me.
I'll say this...I get upset like everyone else when the Rams aren't playing to their ability...but I agree, some posters were like they were fully bailing out on the Rams. All teams have phases where they're not playing to their potential...but when you start to hammer your team because they've been in "a funk", you gotta keep some perspective.
Sadly, this is true during most games. I too, however, wish it wasn’t the case.
