    so says Bill the Rocket Guy who calls us fair weather fans. the weather aint too good and we're all here.*****

    ""I have said this before and I probably will again. Clutch has a great site - no doubt about it. I aspire to be as great as that site is (you know, with staff and everything), but I DO NOT aspire to be the same as that site.
    The negativity over there is staggering and I'm not into that. It is nearsighted, fair weather fan thinking.

    I have a different approach with this site and I set a different tone. If I thought Clutch was the best Rockets site possible -you're right - I wouldn't need to be here.

    1,000 + views per day after two months tells me I'm onto something and the fans are responding to what I'm doing.

    Never heard of him but I like all the Rockets forums I can find.

    But what does he do? Kick you out if you don't say all nice things. How about free speech within reason the way it is here at ClutchCity.

    And I like the way most of the other teams "trash talk fans" are kept out of here.

    This is a great site and while I've never been to that Bill characters I can honestly say that negativity is part of losing seasons. If we want to win again we can't play silent pacifists like Bill.

    It would be unreasonable to say every game,"Joy. Joy. Francis got a dunk this game. All is well in the kingdom."

    All is not well.

    For the first time in ages the Rockets are entering a rebuilding stage, and there is much to worry about. About who to pick, who to trade.

    The often hot opinions reflected by BBSers on this site only reflects the love and passion that those here share for this game and team. Sometimes I think people on this site are far too negative as well, but that's part of opinions. That's part of having such a diversity on this wonderful, wonderful, site.

    Well, I spent ten minutes on Yahoo! trying to find his site and couldn't. I think that says just about all you need to know about him.

    that is the URL you need to visit...
    He is not a bad guy , he is a Rockets lover just like the rest of us are the only diference is that he likes to give things a possitive spin (for the most part) dispite our losses.

    Just remember he is a Rockets lover ...

    I looks to me like the guy just wanted some of this sites traffic. This, as you all allready know, is one of the best sports sites around, period. His site wouldn't make a good pimple on this sites ass.

    Wow, this is even better than that whole optimists vs. pessimists vs. incrementalists vs. visionaries vs. your dad vs. my dad debate. What fun that was.

    Why fight with your enemies when you can fight with your friends?

    DREAMer- Take another look at the author of the column you're quoting from.
