The irony here is how many of the most toxic Cardiff Devils accounts on Twitter are rounding on the inferno as a toxic cess pool, I guess they’d be well placed to recognise that!
I feel in general regardless of where debate happens on the internet, discourse can easily degenerate into some people competing to see just how piping hot they can make their hottest take on everything. I think some people criticise people in ways they wouldn’t dream of doing to a persons face, because of the relative anonymity of the net, it’s a frustrating side of human nature.
Despite the forum’s reputation I do feel in general there are a good few posters who call people out on some of the more outlandish statements/personal attacks. We’re passionate, we love our team and sometimes things get a bit heated. There are lots of negative comments if people are fishing for them, but also a lot of positive, constructive ones too. I feel a bit uncomfortable with some of the comments directed at Caitlin from Premier sports in the past year as I think they’ve crossed the line & it’s a bit weird. Premier sports isn’t perfect but they’re committed to hockey in this country and do a decent job with a far smaller team than the bigger broadcasters use for sports coverage.
We finished the season in the best possible way and it would be a shame if this thread turned into anything other than a celebration of what was a great weekend of sport.
