Reading what happened last night, I can honestly say that the immaturity expressed by the trolls from wherever is almost matched by the immaturity of some of the regulars. Almost. Someone senselessly bashes the Jets, followed by senseless bashing of the Canucks; someone bashes the dream of NHL hockey in Winnipeg, followed by the hotheaded insults flowing the other way; and, most pointless of all, pitting two great cities against each other. Vancouver is not Winnipeg, Winnipeg is not Vancouver. Both have their good and their bad. Weather is not something either city can help, so who cares how many ice rinks they have or whatever, and hating a whole city because at one point they had a fierce rivalry with the other city is plain silly.
These trolls, wherever they come from, are attention seekers. They want to get a rise out of us. Unfortunately, many people give them exactly what they want. They won't gain anything by posting here, and neither will anyone gain anything by posting insults in response. Show the maturity you'd want them to show.
(Somehow I expect to get flak for this... deserving or not)

They only do this to get a rise out of it and if you ignore them they would more than likely go away. Some people though can't stand to sit idle while something important to them is getting bashed. That's my feelings anyways.

It was a lilttle harder to take, when we were online, on the board as it was happening. Watching the poopoo assault.

There is no cut and dry it's all public perception, if we let our actions of retaliating with a cheap shot to a cheap shot, then that becomes "right" and do we really want to lower the bar that low? I think not.
