Cubs fans are classy!

Hey, I've been noticing a lot of angry spirits on this site lately. What is the deal? Listen, I know it is very hot outside, and that makes people grumpy, but let's continue to keep our site classy. We are all Cubs fans so we have no reason to hate on each other. Don't be a maddog, just sip your bluekoolaide and don't try princefieldersdiet because we all know that being a mad, fat, dehydrated guy on a hot day makes us grumpy. Trust me, I know from experience! Let's do a better job of being peaceful so Al doesn't have to be the violation police. Also if you've ever been to the Evil BCB, we don't want to end up like them.

amen

I found this website a few weeks ago… much relieved… I really hated reading another website with all of the bickering…

Welcome

Cubs2410, and I think you will find that Al does a great job of running this site and most of the time people here are very nice to each other.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Very well said

like I’ve been saying, it’s okay to disagree-that’s part of the fun of a fansite, but you can do it while treating people with respect-ultimately we’re all here for the same reason; because we love the Cubs.

I think its been so tense b/c of the week off for the ASG

and then the awful series w/ the Astros.

Things’ll go back to fun when we hit again. :-)

Just do what I do when we lose… stay out of the game threads. Way less irritating.

You're right.

Sometimes, after a particularly tough loss, I want to commiserate with other people who understand but, yeah, there’s way too much tension and anger on the game threads at times like that-it tends to only add to my already bad mood. I have a feeling that a lot of people feel the same way.
