I don't know where to post this...thought about Introduce Yourself...thought about the Rants/Soap Box, but it has nothing to do with Football. I don't know how many of you all still visit Finheaven, but I no longer will. I haven't been to that site in quite some time, since The Phins has been up and running really. But, I remember why I left. This guy WVDolphan may be the biggest frigging moron I've ever encountered on a message board. It's not that he's spewing his opinion, but he's so blatantly brutal. His thoughts on David Garrard are borderline defamation. He is everything wrong with fandom and people having a place to say their piece. People over there actually view him as a legitimate, knowledgeable source of football. I can't believe. I'm truly shocked. I just had to post somewhere on the Internet for people to see that this guy is a complete irrational moron. I'm thankful this site has nobody like that. I mean there is no one that acts the way he does.
I still visit FH every now and then. There are still some good people over there but that place has become so cluttered. Way too many people.
I vaguely remember him from my days over there. He was one of the few agreeing with me that Miami should draft Matt Ryan. So I think maybe he really is a knowledgeable source of football information. I can't take FinHeaven anymore if for nothing else than their ridiculous ad structure.
I still visit FH almost daily, but mostly for the non-football related sections. The main board on the other hand, oh....dear.....GOD! There's a reason it's considered a joke among Dolfans. You should see the threads bashing Philbin. There are "fans" who have actually admitted they want Philbin to fail just so they can say they were right. WTF is that? Oddly enough, WVDolphan has been one of the most level headed members in regards to that topic, it's one of the rare times I actually agree with him. Although his odd extreme hatred for Gerrard is a bit ridiculous.
The 2 boards are really polar opposites. Everything is vile, vomit and negativity over there. But here, some people tend to go out of their way to make you feel like a real ******* for expressing any negative opinion of players and/or coaches staff. As much as I love this board and it's head and shoulders above the other place, I've often thought if there were a happy medium between the 2 that's where some of the best Dolphins discussion in the world would take place.
Dude I love you monst. I truly think you're one of the cooler guys I've dealt with on here, but what's with the "woe is me" stuff recently? Cheer up dude.
Am I really coming across as "woe as me"? If I am I don't really mean to. I've taken an awful lot of flak for my Ireland views but I don't really let it get me down. That's just my honest assessment of this board sometimes. I think overly positive is better than overly negative so I'm not complaining. P.S. I love you too, Sick. Non-homo
I think it really depends on your perspective. It probably is split pretty close on Ireland. But try this experiment: Type up a positive Ireland piece and see how many "Fist Pumps" it gets. Then craft a negative critique of Ireland and see how many "Fist Pumps" that gets. I think you'll get your answer.
Yea but how many fans are going to have a negative or basically hopeless opinion of their team? Most fans are going to build their team up only to be let down. Thats their decision. All we can do is post our opinions. I agree with you that we are headed straight for a top 5 pick pretty much but most fans on a Dolphins board arent going to take that opinion of their own teams.
Maybe woe is me is incorrect. But I've seen quite a bit of guys coming after you in threads and you, respectfully defending your view point. Seems your on a mission now. I agree Ireland hasn't had a great track record here. Let's see what he does after 53 man rosters are cut. Might find some gems? If not we are looking TERRIBLE. What's the college WRs look like this upcoming season?
Couldn't agree more. I freely admit I'm a Dolphins homer in many regards. It's why I spend so much time here! Even though I'm doubtful about this season there's a part of me holding out hope we end up the Cincinnati Bengals of last year.
When I first read this I felt like this, After reading the main this past week, I still have the same expression.
The biggest douche on finheaven is Nublar7. Guy bans you just for disagreeing with him. He's the main reason why I left.
What I don't understand is we have strictly enforced TOS against bashing posters and whatnot, yet an entire thread is okay since its a FH poster? Don't get me wrong, I don't ever go to FH anymore and I don't know this guy and he may deserve the bad press, but it's just odd to me is all..
