which many in this thread have acknowledged was a low point/bad look. It took longer to realize that wasn't the norm when viewed in light of the negative posters (which I expect are not the majority outside this board) and some of the players like Emery. I do get now that it's not as bad as all that, but for a lot of us SMC folk that was our introduction to the fanbase, and first impressions being what they are it took a while to get the bad taste out. Plus, it fed the rivalry. Ironic that this post has shown me more of the positivity that I wasn't seeing (while other posters are simultaneously and unironically proving some of my points).
