You should resent it. I talk to lets of people who think just as I do. On the other board, if someone comes along who seems to think along the same lines as me, they label that person a "muppet", claiming its just me posting under another name. Of course, I only post under one name there.

Lots of people have the same views as me. Many people may not have come across someone like me who is also just as vocal. But now they have. If they are too insecure to think that they are in the minority, and that actually a whole lot of people think as we do, that is their problem.

(In fact, its us anti-Flip fans who seem to be in the majority as far as I can tell. But it by no means is a landslide. I'd say its a 5-4 ratio of people who think like us vs. people who think Pistons management can't be wrong about so much.)

Depends on the viewpoint in question.

Anti Flip sentiment is probably close to 50%. Those who think that a late 1st round rookie is going to determine if we win or lose in the post season has to be quit small I am sure.

Maybe you're really just talking to yourself?

My personal favorite was Muppet the Cat.

Of course, I only post under one name there.

uhmmm...yeah...sure.

Lots of people have the same views as me.

Most of them are institutionalized, however.

(In fact, its us anti-Flip fans who seem to be in the majority as far as I can tell. But it by no means is a landslide.

I think there are more anti-Flip fans than you think (Just guessing based on what I read on the forums).

I'd say its a 5-4 ratio of people who think like us vs. people who think Pistons management can't be wrong about so much.

Don't confuse the pro Flip fans with people who necessarily believe the Pistons can do no wrong. I know some people who support Flip (NOT ME), but who also are not foolish enough to believe that the Pistons are without fault.

That said, having too few minutes for too many good players is an excellent problem to have.

Yeah, the funny thing is, lately, Lee's recaps are way more upbeat than the rest of these guys.

I bet there are a lot of fans who think that our highest paid bench player could possibly have a positive affect on our playoff chances though.

I'll tell you lpgrl, that was very funny. I'm still laughing.

I think because I've been addicted to this forum since the day I found it, which sometimes I take as a sad commentary on my life and othertimes I kind of crawl into it like a soft, old blankie. Depending on the day and mood.
