Bit of a sidetrack but this is the thing that has annoyed me so far. Unrestrained pessimism after a couple of games is all right and reasonable (or just called blowing off steam) but the opposite should be reigned in.
I don't think I've cut loose in that regard either, but if you can provide evidence to the contrary, go for it.
And let's not even pretend that I've reigned anybody in, or that either side hasn't egged on the other. If anything, the shiners have been MUCH worse about this so far.
