jblee, I believe freely expressing one's opinion is the lifeblood of any forum and welcome it.

However, the ability to challenge another's opinion is of equal value.

Taking offence when someone does the latter adds no value to any argument. Qualifying your views and assertions is a different ...

I think people should be free to express opinions here without others dismissing them as " petty prejudices". Give an alternative opinion by all means but don't insult other posters. If that is an unacceptable view to the moderators then just let me know and I will leave.

Always loved away trips to play the not nots.

I'd have them back in the champ in a heart beat.

I wouldn't ditch promotion or relegation, I would, instead, increase the numbers of our league by two and abandon the play-offs that no-one really wants. Everybody would benefit financially and it would ...
