It's not that people are unhappy with the state of affairs at UF. It's that they have to bash the program, coaches, players, AD, facilities and everything else in every single sentence. Always. There are times when you couldn't tell the difference between these Gator fans and Mike Winter. If anyone dares to disagree they try to silence them with personal attacks.
I can see how some might choose to avoid that type of conversation.
Having said that, I like the board just fine the way it is. I enjoy discussing things with those who don't agree. If everyone saw things the same way I do then things would get boring fast. I simply ignore the personal attacks. There's nothing you can do about other people's insecurities so there's no reason to let them bring their misery into your life.
T-Rex and I rarely ever agree about anything. He constantly resorts to personal attacks on me. I still enjoy conversing with him.
This board isn't for everyone, but you're never going to make everyone happy. If you can just get the newbies to interact and tough it out for a month or two it will grow on them.
I'd rather be unhappy with someone expressing their view than have censorship.
