Paul and MLSE have had far more to do with the success of Red Patch Boys than any of you would be willing to admit.
My real point is that the board is what is making the Red Patch Boys, and not the other way around.
I don't want or need you to represent me. I want a good forum for discussion. I do like the chants, I participate in that, and am grateful to whomever works on that, I guess, but there's a lot of groups involved, RPB is hardly solely responsible for that. As for the flags and all, I don't mind it, but I just don't care. I'm there to watch the game.
There are many fine people in RPB, I have met a number on road trips and I really have no big complaint. But it seems to me that several mods here are on power trips, calling people out for no reason. You'll see, if you care, that I have a number of posts that side with RPB against the FO on this issue. But make fun of someone going over the top about it? What gall!
I think you maybe should go members-only. Seriously.
