GDTs are always less rational and more stream-of-consciousness. They're more negative (and positive too if it's earned) than other threads. They're the id to this forum.
Again, what do you want people to discuss? We have plenty of posts about how awesome XYZ player is -- hyping up our young players or our stars. Saying it's all doom and gloom is not true. But in every discussion about every topic in human history, it's short and easy to talk about the positive. More words are always spent on complaining or trying to fix the negative. I don't know why that's earth shattering stuff. People don't go to therapy to discuss the positive; they need an outlet for the negative. Oftentimes, that's what the point of this forum is: fan commiseration. Far from crying and wailing, we often channel our gripes through humor.
People act like the HiveMind is always negative. But go look at the TK, Ghost, G, Coots (Especially a few years ago), Scoracek, etc forms. Look at who is excited and positive and who is crapping on our stars and young studs. The non HiveMind crowd loves to talk about the core in a negative way. The HiveMind sees how great some of these guys are and realizes it's the type of core that with the right support can win championships.
