What is with giving Mosul a hard time?

I was just reading some comments on the home page, where as we all know, Mosul_Dolphan has taken over the day to day operations of our beloved site, The Phinsider. Some of the "fans" here are downright rude, and most of the comments are very non-deserving! I do not think he makes a dime to do this for us, and even if he makes any money, he has been working his butt off for all of us, so that we will be able to know what all is going on with our Dolphins!
Comments like - "Stick to Dolphins news ONLY!", "We really do not care about this" etc; Are really not the foundation of this site. Just in the HOF thread alone, makes me feel like this site is in for a rough season! I will be the first to admit that when I am in a bad mood about my loved team and what they are doing, I will vent. Sometimes taking it out on people that have stood by me as friends on this site that I call home, and I always say that I am sorry and usually if it is a stupid thread, I delete it. Mosul is the "New Regieme" of this site, if you will, and is working very hard to get us all prepared for the upcoming season!
If you can not even be civil in a thread about who was elected into the HOF, whats next, I ask? There are several things people are going to be mad about that I will explain in a moment, but jumping in Mosuls s*** for no reason is kind of "un-called for"! The HOF thread is an every year one that we have here! I for one am damn happy that I can go to The Phinsider, and read who was elected instead of watching ESPN, and it also helps "on the go" and several of us because we are military, former military, work jobs on the road, may not even have cable, etc;
There are a few issues that just keep piling up, that kind of makes me wish this were a paid site, where it was like $10 bucks a year or something. Here are some below;
- Do you honestly think that Mosul can sign a free agent or make a trade? The man is providing us news, along with many more, that you can not find anywhere else, especially some of us.
- We ALL want to WIN, and WIN NOW, but what can we honestly do about it? There is no need to snap, curse, or whatever else on our news provider because in all honesty, WTF can he do about it?
- We are supposed to be here because we all share the love for the Dolphins, and some people because they are fans of a player, maybe went to the same school, etc; BUT if we have an opnion about a certain player and express it, and my thoughts are as fans, we should be able to, there is always someone to point out what is bad about the player, bring up stats, and just totally rip on someone for NO REASON!
- The whole "Henne Saga" the last few seasons is about just way to hard to debate with most people in any friendly manner! I am not a "Henne Fan", but he is our QB and I am a Dolphin fan first! Do I like the last 10+ years of not really doing much? Hell No, and No Dolphin fan should, but it is a team sport, and there is nothing we can do but root for our team and players! There is nothing wrong with wanting another player, but this is not Madden, there is not a thing anyone of us can do about it.
Sadly, there are many, many other things, but honestly, the internet has opened my eyes to something that i've never been used to: Fair Weather Fans, Madden Experts, and many a*********. I always thought that Dolphin fans were the greatest in the NFL, and even though we have had losing seasons (not like we have never had them before) why keep talking s*** to other Dolphin Fans? We get practice updates, fantasy leagues, NFL news, all of the Miami Dolphin news, etc;
So, I suppose the main question, besides everyone fed up with losing (me included), Why do most threads end up like Philly fans? Whats next? "Meet me in the parking lot & we will settle this!"??? Also, I know this thread wont make a difference, but I had to get it off my mind. Show some damn respect to authority on this site, once you piss off someone so many times, most of the news that WE want to read, will be on some other blog.

I haven't seen anything but the utmost respect and some ribbing toward Mosul.
What do you do when no one respects you? When you're so low you're not even an underdog? When your enemies are called kings? William Wallace would fight for every yard with his face painted aqua and orange. And so we will fight, not just for yards, but for touchdowns. And then they will fear us.
Chad Henne is 7 feet tall and consumes DBs with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts from his ass.
if you both just read the first couple comments in the HOF thread, you will see
I am usually a late reader except on gameday cus I help ban the links to watch the game for free, that is one thing I was given, so even though it doesnt matter right now, I usually read almost every comment, not just for that purpose, but to also see if there has been something posted in a thread news wise that I havent seen.

I read them, and they're fair comments.
The first one is merely a request that will more than likely go unheeded, simply because some people may be interested in the HOF and other non-Dolphin, football-oriented topics, and because right now it’s pretty slow after the blitz of free agency.
That Steel guy was an obvious troll but every site will have that.
If people aren’t interested in the HOF they don’t have to read the post. I didn’t read it until you brought it up. Big deal. Why start a big thing about it? Mosul can defend himself and he’s fully capable of handling this blog.
And, IMO, it’s these nit-picking fan posts that are starting to bring the blog down, if the blog is being brought down (I don’t really think it is at all). Not just this one, but other posts criticizing fans, the team, each other, whatever. Let these things be comments in threads that are about our team. All we’re doing at this point is boiling the pot and brewing trouble.
I should post all that as a fan post

it's either these post, venting post, ckc's, & some news
Hence, why I said “I wish this were a paid site”..
Not like I woke up & said “let me stir up some trouble”.. I wish I lived near Miami, or even be able to attened TC because I would post up every day.. As a “mod” on this site, I would love to be able to write something of value, trust me, I would. I live in bumf** VA, where we dont even get any teams news, so by the time it is out, I have to read it.
I like my little job here, but could you imagine being in all the live game threads & deleting all of the “watch here” post??
& it’s not just that thread, it was the easiest one to point out some comments.

We're just bored right now. It'll get better once the season starts...and if we win, lol.

Very true bro! & your Braves? Two 20 game hit streakers? WOW. Here in VA, thats all I get to watch, My fav team, I was at the game when the guy from Cincy ran into the wall & was injured real bad back in the late 80's early 90's.

Freeman's ended today.
But Uggla pushed his to 28, and we won!
We’ve got a lot of Braves fans here, it’s awesome. I have only seen one Dolphins fan on the Braves blog, and he’s from here anyway. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited about sports right now.

Just read them, yeah they are..... well...... off base
Great post BTW but most of the comments to Mosul (that I have seen) have been about him being a machine and doing a great job. There will always be those that are not happy with the job you do but those are the types that are usually not happy with anything.
I especially agreed with your bullet points, it is good that there is someone to keep us all in line from time to time, although, it shouldn’t be necessary.
I kinda got the same feel from the HOF post
I for one appreciate ANY football news, and the HOF is an institution and therefor football related! As for mosul, i think he has done a phenomenal job so far , and if this is just his 1st month running things , I say we are all blessed to have someone as passionate as him posting not just dolphin news , but also football history in the making. we are all dolphin fans 1st and foremost but the love of the game itself is what drew us all in as kids,so if reporting on off dolphin subjects bothers anyone …DON’T READ THEM! keep up the great work mosul , you are the man!

Well said.
Excellent E Dove.
Mosul is the new leader and it’ll take about thirty days for the “examination” of him by Phinsiders to settle on their assessment of him. Happens in all arenas.
Usually, there is a reservation to comment negatively. But here it seems to have arisen quickly and is very prickly on top.
Grateful you brought it to light and hope the message and comment settle down quickly and give the patience any new leader deserves.

Let me say this...
I liked Matty alot, and thought he did a nice job with the site. Having said that, I have found the change in leadership to have been great so far. There are things that Mosul is doing that are tremendous. I love the “Stories you may havemissed” section. Particularly now, becasue there has been such a barrage of CBA, free agency, and training camp news in the weeks since the site changed hands. Its hard to keep up with all of it. And I have no problem with some non0Dolphgins stories every once in awhile. THeres is more to the football world than the Dolphins (Gasp!), and Mosul is doing a great job of bringin us information. Also, E-dove, great post. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone. But there are ways to do it in which discussion and debate are born. Just commenting under someones write-up with a derogatory comment is juvenile. Disagreements are what make thie world go ‘round, but lets not be immature about it. It drags the site down, and makes me think less of our fan base as a whole. Rec’d Dove…

I totally agree bro!
Like last year, I liked Thigpen (still do) and made some Thigpen post. I got cursed out about them. I have met the guy several times, stayed across from CCU where he played and watched him make it to the NFL & play for the Chiefs. Most people didnt agree with my thoughts, nor did I expect them to, but I didnt expect nor deserve to get cursed for it. I really hope we win the first game, that way most people will be nice for atleast a week :) I dunno, maybe its the military in me, that doesnt like to see people cursed at for their spelling, likes, dislikes, etc; but if we start winning, eventually the a******* will go away.

Thanks guys
If people don’t like what I post, I am happy for the constructive criticism, but at the same time, I know there are people who like the football topics posts as well.
Of course, the Dolphins are #1, and will be the majority of the posts. But, some posts have a factor on all of us as fans of the game, or as Americans, or as people. Those posts, I will continue to do as well.

Count me amongst the folks who think you’re risking burn out and that would be a shame. I think the quality of a post is a more important factor than quantity…I like the way you write and everyone writes better when they have time to think things over.
I don’t mind peripheral posts…some I’ll read, some I’ll skip. Anything that gets people thinking and posting is worthwhile in my mind.

Well put
Things are out of control here, with threads like “%urds in the punch bowl,” “Dolphin fans suck,”… When you permit anyone to write anything with no repercussions, you open the door for good people to be attacked. This is a family site, there are little kids reading here, (and writing here, obviously!) Keep the profanity out, keep manors in. But I suspect that is asking way to much.
Spelling doesn’t matter, grammar isn’t nearly as important as not riping each other to shreads over little things… that does matter! So what is someone can’t spell or if their grammer is off, do you really have to be the fist one to point out those mistake? Let people have their opinion even if it’s different from yours. Let people be themselves without being ridiculed for spelling or grammar mistakes.
thanks! & really agree about the grammar. Im used to speaking Italian, I know english but not enough I dont suppose
