I am not attacking you. I am trying to hold a discussion with you. Nowhere did I did not say you were not enjoying the Packer's victory ride. While I did say that you should enjoy it, that doesn't mean I think you are not. What I was saying is, in my opinion, getting frustrated over a few meaningless scores at the end of the game is not the end of the world. In reality you are free to do so if that is what you want to do. Likewise I should be able to say that it is not as bad as you think it is without you getting pissed off and threatening to leave the forum simply because I state a slightly different viewpoint. In truth that is all it is. We agree on the majority of Packer related issues and even many non Packer related issues.

As far as other people's views, they are not on this page. Once again I am only trying to hold a conversation. I did not attack you. I did not call you names. I did not imply you are a lesser fan than anyone else. I did not imply anything at all. The main reason for my comment was because YOU asked a question and I tried to answer it.

Also before the most recent posts where other members asked you to stay, who else was posting here beside you and me? Only nerdmann. I considered talking to him but I like talking to you more. (J/K nerd.) But he took the discussion in another direction. He was talking about offensive turnovers. I wasn't discussing that at this time.

Blasted? You really think I was blasting you? It was not my intent. I was stating things that happened in the game and my perspective of those events. I have a favor to ask you. Calm down a little. Get your mind off the feeling that I was trying to belittle you or attack you or that I was being critical of you as a person or as a fan. Then go back and read my comments with as neutral of a position as possible and see if you may have misinterpreted my intentions. (Ask LJ her opinion. I respect her's as well.) Afterward if you feel the same way that you do now let me know. I want to know. Likewise, afterward if you can see I was not as harsh as you first thought let me know that too. Thing is it's very easy to misunderstand what we post here. That's why ongoing talk is needed.

One last thing. If you want to leave then leave. Don't stay because you have longevity on this site or something like that. Stay because you enjoy the dialog process. The give and take. The exchange of ideas. Don't stay out of some sense of obligation. If you are not happy here then you SHOULD leave. Take some time off. After a while if you miss this site then come back. But only do so when you are ready. You are always welcome here. This is after all PackersHome. It's your home if you want it to be.

Actually after re-reading this, I have one more thing to say. I care about you. You should know that by now. Because of that, if I think you are acting a little bit "woe is me" (which is how I read your first post.) as your friend, I will try to give you something more positive to consider. In this one instance, the defense was not that bad.

First, thank you for the positive comments from my “family”.

Wayne, you know I value your opinions. I guess what I was trying to say was that the same things that cost us during the regular season and NFC title game last year, are the same things that are costing us this year. Poor tackling and poor run defense. I was not “woe is me” at all. Just trying to say that they haven’t seemed to address for this season what killed us last year. Look at what the Vikings did to us once they had Cook running the ball. The Bears have a bad offense, yet put up 25 points. Like I said, I don’t know if that was because of our big lead, or bad defense.
I love my team. And I’m hoping they can win it all this year!
I’m on the bandwagon, win or lose!
I’ve had this seat for 55 years, and I’ll never jump ship!😁
