I look at someone’s personal blog (forum or internet site) the same way I look at their house. Their place, they make the rules. If I want to stay, I obey them. The rules in DMZ/Dave’s house are sound, and promote good discussions without the topics degenerating into childish bickering and name calling. That’s one of the reasons I like it here, and wipe my feet before coming in.

Mariner fans are the worst. Who cares what they say. USSM on the other hand is smart. Rock on Derek and Dave! Fans are stupid by nature. Mariner fans are the worst. Who cares what they say.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I applaud the decision. Discussions that devolve into comparing the sizes of ones interest in the local team provide no value. My fandom is bigger than your fandom!
