I understand the excitement. I would be happy if I were a Dish sub as well. I just don't understand the need to accuse Direct subs of crying and calling them fanboys. Ironically, it takes a fanboy to gloat and put down others.
I know you aren't talking about me here...but gain a little perspective, if you will...
The D* subs, particularly those who are sports fanatics, have been VERY aggressive in their pursuit to convince others of the superiority of their provider. Some of them have been very stubborn and have even bullied E* subs out of threads and forums. Granted things haven't been as bad as of late, but still for some scars may remain. At the end of the day, some of us can be a bit defensive whenever we are having a celebratory discussion amongst ourselves and one of the more 'aggressive' D* subs chime in. You can't blame us for that. We've taken a lot of crap over the years...
But DK, if you are willing to be an agent of change amongst the sub-culture (pun intended
) around here, then by gosh I believe you! But it starts by not taking little things personal when it clearly isn't. Thats all...not every celebratory discussion is 'gloating'...
cheers...
