I also think one big difference is while there are people who talk up all the players that get added, I rarely see people going over the top saying those players are sure-fire NBA talents or leading us to a championship or GMac is the best recruiter ever. It's more excitement or cautious optimism.

But there are more than a few people who seem very certain that players won't pan out, or the roster just isn't good enough, or because a player chooses another school Syracuse "obviously doesn't have the money promised," I could go on. It gets tiring after a while.

Sure, it can go both ways, but the vast majority of positive comments are cautious optimism. The vast majority of negative comments come across as statements of fact and just trashing (for lack of a better word) everyone and everything.

I'm all for sharing criticism, and I'm not saying these posters mean for it to come across that way. Some are better than others. BUT, certain negative posters have to understand that this is the way many of their posts are coming across, and frankly, that's where the annoyance from many others comes from.

If you have criticism, absolutely share it, but please be more conscious of how it comes across. And the same can be true for how we respond to it.
