Most folks just own their bad takes and admit they were wrong. 
That's a pretty easy way to prevent ones idiocy being dragged back out into the light. 

I know I've had to do that a number of times around here. 
I can rattle off a dozen Jags topics I was dead wrong about.

Y'all can call me out for being a jerk to this clown that loves to bash Trevor Lawrence. 
That's fair. I don't mind. I think it's funny that he can't just admit he was wrong.

I also find it funny that we had a new guy bugger off after a week or two claiming to be attacked after he basically called out the Jags GM, the coaches, multiple draft picks, and ownership as "bad" in some way. 
Were those opinions supposed to be met with sunshine and rainbows from Jaguars fans who just saw their team make a playoff appearance when most expected 6 or 7 wins? 
LOL
"People don't agree with me!! Wahhh!" 

I guess thin skin serves no one well among the old interwebs. 
I'd say I'd try to tone it down, but I probably won't.

I was using sarcasm when I said hospitable.

You're right if someone is saying something like "Your opinions are wrong and mine are right!!" that's not very friendly and people would obviously attack that if it turns out they were wrong. The issue is IF I said " I think Evan Engram's production out of the TE position is replaceable via Pederson and Lawrence", that's just an opinion. But the Jungle mob would attack that like madfish, bashing your intelligence and just belittling you to no end, instead of just discussing it if your interested, and ignoring it if you aren't. 

People need to do better. 

Part of this is who you pay attention to. There is informed, civil banter between some on the board without resorting to namecalling. There is also juvenile, ignorant fools that aren't really looking to enhance the conversation.

Some of us like to wear multiple hats, some of us are never serious, and some of us can't take a joke. You get all kinds around here. It can be enjoyable if you avoid wallowing in the mire.
