Is there any real point to posting brief antagonistic posts in response long well-thought out posts? You may not agree with the conclusions but you'd be better off debating those on their merits rather than just snarking.
I find some of the "snarkiness" to opposition posters ugly sometimes and is something we need to be mindful of, but not at the expense of denying your own posters any sort of home ground advantage or tribal right of reply.
If you go onto any team board on BigFooty, make a post about why you think of of their star players is overrated while admitting you have based it on 7 minutes of game footage, you have put a massive "KICK ME" sign on your own back.
If I went on to the Freo board and said "in the first 7 minutes of the game I didn't see Stephen Hill go near a hard ball contest... is he a seagull?" I wonder if they would lay out cookies and milk for me.
And yeah, I have to say, let's not automatically link "long" posts with "well thought out".
Haso's post might have been deliciously sarcastic but it also contained a pretty clear rebuttal, despite not being "long".
