First, for you oldtimers on here IANAT!
The tater infiltrators have been here before 1998.
I have visited other team's boards after a bad loss, and not necessarily involving us. And it is the same everywhere.
The biggest difference here, in my opinion, is there was a major change in the maturity of the forum membership when the Insider's forum was created. Most of the oldtimers, the more astute and knowledgeable, moved to Insider's. The tater trolls didn't want to pay for their trolling so they stayed here. I saw what happened and didn't want to join Insider's because of it.
As I mentioned, I've known posters on other boards for many, many years. Before the forum split other boards often mentioned us as among one of the best 'other' boards to visit. Not anymore, and not for years. Now our free board is like anyone else's, full of trolls (tater here) and young fans ignorant of our past glory and failures. Also a few gamecock trolls here that I'm sure feel a little more confident picking on what they construe as lower level riffraff among the FGF brethren.
What CM2B is advocating is literally beneficial to winning over recruits, where opposing coaches throw the negativity into the recruits faces. There's a place for negative expression and doubts when things don't work correctly, however, don't shoot holes in the bottom of the boat and sink yourself.
