All of that is OK too. Its the norm in fan forums. I don't come here to convince anyone. I say what I say because it fun to me to call out the BS for being exactly that.
Now THAT is BS. It is fun to you? If it is so much fun to call out BS why do you only do it here?
Here is what I have observed. Very little if anything related to the Niners in a negative light is accepted for what it is. I think that there is an automatic refusal to anything that doesn't look good for the Niners. That it eats you up seeing it.
If it was just about BS you would be doing it on the DenialZone, a place where the league setup the Hawks to win the Super Bowl, a place where shoulda-coulda-woulda champions are made.
If your quest to counter BS in fun was legit you would have your hands full on the Niner boards, but you don't bother. So let's cut the crap and get real. I don't have a problem with it, the behavior is not about to change any time soon. Speculation and assumption are message board staples and you state as much of it as anyone else.
This thing with Harbafreak wasn't made up by Seahawk fans, the story about it broke a while ago, it didn't just come from thin air. It isn't likely a big deal, but there is some smoke there.
Now Shut Up Marvin.
1) I don't only do it here. I do it on GB, Carolina and Giant forums as well, just not as often. There is always someone here talking about the Niners. I will say this tho of those other forums, GB fans seem the nicest, Panther fans the most delusional, and Giant fans the most hostile (must be a New York) thing. I'll also slam someone pretty hard on the 'zone if they say something stupid. I won't respond all the time tho because I don't spend all that much time in there in the offseason.
2) I should qualify my point about arguing BS. I enjoy arguing BS points by fans of other teams making lame homeristic arguments. BTW, I do from time to time blast 'zone posters as well. I to tend to let more go there tho. I admit that. Just as peeps here do the same for fellow 12s.
3) I never thought this stuff was made up by. 'Hawk fans. I just think it's funny how quickly it's embraced as fact. The Browns DID attempt to trade for Harbaugh. Peeps here see it as fact the Niners were shopping him or that he wanted to leave even though York pretty much smashed it early when called out by Florio (tho that guy just keeps hammering on it...must need the mouse clicks), Harbaugh denied it, York later explained exactly what happened, and the guys reporting that they "almost traded for Harbaugh" were both fired. The smoke is there. The Browns were interested...probably a last ditch effort by Lombardi to save his job, but there was no fire there.
Most of these stories are similar to that one. All have a germ of truth which is then blown up into something huge.
Look at it this way...look how Niner fans say Pete the Cheat, Seaderall, etc, etc. Same crap. Just rumors that get accepted by peeps who make money reporting it or want to believe it.
