    I would class myself as a regular reader of this board but by no way a prolific poster. Most of us, with a few exceptions, are Barnsley fans. However, as we all have different personalities & different outlooks on life, we often have different ways of expressing ourselves & react differently to the same situation.

    I would say that the vast majority of us have what I would describe as a healthy outlook on life. There are some though who seem to live in a state of near permanant depression & come across very pessimistic & others who are optimistic in the extreme & give the impression that they have overdosed on some very strong "happy" drugs.

    It is these people who seem to provoke the strongest responses & criticism every time they post. I thought it might be interesting to see which group the moderate majority find the most annoying.

    the negative ones i'd say

    however, i'd put myself in the "happy drug" camp. its not that i have blind optimism but i have just so much hope. i'm realistic but i never give up and i feel the same way about the reds. anything can and will happen
