We are all the same, aren't we?

Saw this posted somewhere else. It is written by a poster on a Queens Park Rangers board, but it seems pretty spot on in a lot of ways to what we have on Hoyatalk.

For example:


There is a constant struggle on messageboards to be the alpha male, top dog, No1 fan. There are always discussions about who's been a fan the longest, with some posters ostentatiously choosing their all-time XI exclusively from players in the 1950s, and who goes to the most games - "You didn't see the reserves play Carlisle away last February, you part-timer! Your opinion isn't valid".

Sound familiar? ;D

Get a few more posts and we'll consider the validity of this.

Steinberg: "It's times like these when I'm convinced that Internet message boards are all a construct of some alien psych department."

This is obviously rhetorical in nature. We all know that I am the #1 fan, don't we?!
