the irony is in the hypocrisy ...
...Bronco fanboys hurl accusations of internet bullying when an unhappy fan voices criticism of the program or coach but then the tactics they resort to in attacking those with opinions that differ from their's frequently turn to personal attacks and insults, fallacies of logic, relentless beating of deadhorses, nitpicking of semantics rather than focusing on the point that the criticism was about all in an effort to actively supress dissenting viewpoints . Classic GroupThink.

They try and create an "ingroup" structure to CB and attempt to ostracize those with differing viewpoints rather than debate. Some of the more vocal members of that group will accuse Bronco critics of stating opinion like it's fact, so when you do bring fact into the discussion they quickly shift from a healthy debate of the fact and utilize any number of fallacies to shift the focus from the actual point of discussion. Their posts often become frantic and emotional at this point and their attacks become relentless until you are in an endless exchange of debating comments that no longer are focused on what the original comment was about.
