You know what it's like. The Albion have just won/drawn/lost, you get home, log onto NSC and you just know they'll be there, those negative comments, the utter drivel, the obsessive examination of anything slightly positive to extract a down side (often as not accompanied by a few choice swear words and suppressed or very apparent anger).
I'm not talking about the postings of those who haven't got 2 brain cells to rub together nor those that post hurriedly in anger about something and then regret it later. No, I'm talking about the habitual Moaners, you know the ones, those who'd come on here after spending the weekend in bed with Rihanna and moan that she'd got a hole in her arse.
Well, how about considering a different approach to these saddos? Rather than contradicting them or attempting to defeat their arguements by employing logic, why don't you pause and consider their family and friends(?)?
Imagine having to live with them. Imagine how you'd feel if after the game you had to look forward to the return home of a Moaner. Irrespective of the result, you know you've got to listen to 3 or 4 or 5 hours of unrelenting carping on. Sheesh! It could be even worse, they could be like that every day, eking out their joyless lives by bringing down everyone they know with their dread negativity. Talk about soul destroying.
So, how about taking a different approach to the Moaners; how about ignoring them or, if you're strong enough, even humouring them? Don't confront them, it may drive them off NSC and back into contact with their family with all the attendant unhappiness and suffering that that will cause. Think of it as an act of kindness, almost like providing respite care.
Who knows, you may save a hapless wife from a fearfull nag or a poor dog from a nasty shoeing.
Embrace a Moaner, you know it makes sense. Those closest to them will bless you.
