by asking:
to which HRE noted:
If the half full folks weren't regularly telling the folks in my camp that we need to stop complaining because the team has won (fill in the blank) and are thus spoiled, I probably wouldn't have made a comment. This is much the same as people contending that negative feelings reflect a lesser fandom. Made, perhaps incorrectly, the leap to think that calling fans fickle might have meant spoiled.
One of the dictionary definitions HRE recommended is "not constant or loyal in affections", which is pretty much what I'm talking about, above. The other definition, "likely to change", is true enough for me - when the team or particular players are doing well, I am not dissatisfied, but when they soil the bed, I am. Regardless, my reason for asking is that posters don't always mean what the dictionary says, and I wanted to be sure.
Buggy - I didn't realize the public posting area was intended for "I'm only talking to him" type of discussions - thought that was what *** were for. If you had noted that only HRE could respond - I tend to follow the rules and would thus have stayed out of the personal exchange. I would also question whether my comments would warrant "I'm getting tired of you picking me up on anything and everything", as I would, off the top of my head, expect that there are vastly more of your posts with which I agree or ignore, and even this one just asked for amplification.

and proud of it.
