I read through the comments from yesterday, and, IMO, the issues here aren’t about having a right to an opinion, or whose Eagle is the best, or whose fans display blind loyalty. The issue is about being respectful of one another.

It is understandable when fans want to come to the defense of their favorite member that disagreements can occur. This is why our Netiquette Guidelines address this type of thing. Many of us are happy to debate issues with others on this board. Even when we don’t agree, we can usually manage to respectfully disagree. The great thing about this board is that most members try to keep the environment pleasant and fun by following the basic rules of common courtesy.
