This is a reason for the constant back and forth arguing/bickering. Why do you feel you need a label or term for those who disagree with your opinion. You state your opinions and others state theirs. Nobody needs to "termed" or labeled anything because of how they feel.

I suspect that I missed a quote from TAS that caused your reaction. I have mostly found his comments to be well thought out and fair (but not always popular). Even if he posted something that was wrong (deleted?) that does not make it right for you to tell him leave this site. Tornado's quote would seem to apply here.
I agree. Juvenile bickering back and forth does nothing to advance one's opinions, and only leads to more arguing and name calling. But at times when myself and other pro-Les (for lack of a better term) posted the other side of the argument, a few people (not you) would respond with some snide comments. If everyone responded like you just did DeltaBrave, I agree the conversation would be civil, and both sides would agree to disagree and move on.
This had nothing to do with people disagreeing with his opinion BuB. There were people who were against Les's hiring in the first place just because he didn't have coaching experience. I find that an unfair statement because there have been many first time coaches who have excelled at this level. I think that's why there are people who have such strong opinions supporting him. Now we can disagree on how long he should have been coaching here, but I think most of the comments are pretty civil here, even if some cross the line at times.

That "move on" thing seems to occasionally be a challenge.
You may have missed my main point. Tornado was wanting to know what "term" was ok to use to describe others who gave their opinion. I was trying to say that they don't need to be called anything. Not anti or pro, lover or hater, believer or non believer, etc. I have read enough threads over the years to know many posters don't like to be "termed," labeled or called anything. That has lead to lots of arguments or bickering.
Here is the quote I am talking about. It is real clear what LB says TAS can do. This is not a question. TAS interpeted this the same way I did based on his response to the same quote..... It is wrong to tell other posters they can go away. That is why I said LB should take your advise
"If people let simple opinions get that much under their skin - they need to read something else."

I disagree 100% BuB...I guess we see things differently...
I see a huge difference between wondering why someone's here if they don't like it here - vs. "telling" them to leave.
if I have a guest in my living room and if I want him to leave, I say...
"you must leave now" or "leave before I ban you or call the authorities"
...it is a completely different thing to somewhat politely say - "if you don't like what's going on here - there's another party going on down the street"..

Ok. I guess we do disagree 100%. But again this quote from LB is not a question.....its a statement. I, very clearly, understood what was being said. LB was not "wondering" anything.
Say I am coaching a team and am tired of continually dealing with a player I always disagree with. One who won't stop arguing with me about playing time I say.....
If I want to be polite I say, "I think it would be in your best interests if you left our team. I can help you transfer to another school if you want assistance."
Bottom line is everybody knows what is being said. Go somewhere else. And evidently TAS has......and that is wrong. He was a good poster who gave mostly fair opinions and had no problems seeing things from both sides.
