It takes quite a bit to offend me, so maybe that's one of the reasons why I enjoy the posts here.

It isn't the differences of opinion or general derogatory comments that are what ruin things. That's a part of life and happens everywhere. The thing that is so bad here is that there are a handful of members that live on these boards morning, day, and night. And their sole purpose is to go into every single thread and take a dump. That isn't a difference of opinion, that's ruining threads that others are enjoying when you have no purpose there but to take said dump. That is the biggest problem.
Let's get specific. If you don't like 2025 Topps Chrome its fine to post in there and share that opinion. It may be something you previously enjoyed but now its so watered down that it isn't fun anymore. Good deal, no worries. But when you go into every single new product release and say the same thing over and over thats when it becomes a problem IMO. You don't have to tell everyone you hate something when we already know it. There is no purpose in that.
Furthermore, you can't enjoy talking about a young players performance or get excited about someone new on your team without people saying you are pumping or an idiot for thinking someone will be good. So there again, it takes the fun out of it. Once more, its fine to have a back and forth about a single prospect that everyone loves but you think isn't going to pan out. I love those conversations. But to go into every player thread and say this guy sucks is where it gets old.
This is all generally speaking, but its what annoys me most, and I know a lot of others too. I can say this though, there is one poster here who used to be at the top of the list who has really dialed it back recently. I have noticed, and actually appreciate the change. A few others will never get it. They think the boards revolve around them and if they didn't go into every thread and share their worthless opinions that add nothing the boards would collapse.
