A must read for all visiting team's fans.

[Die Hard]

Hello and welcome to Redskins football heaven. My name is Die Hard and I'll be your guide today <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />I'd like to take a few minutes of your time and clear up a few lingering misunderstandings, myths, and notions. <br /><br />First of all, this is a website created by Redskins fans, maintained by Redskins fans, and devoted, primarily, to Redskins football. While we enjoy having visitors... we didn't leave the door open because we are hoping to have someone drop in who will change our way of thinking. <br /><br />We are quite happy - although some might argue "miserable" - being Redskins fans. We continue to believe that each Sunday marks a new beginning and that eventually we will return to our days of greatness. You, of course, can laugh at that notion, but if you do it here, it probably won't be taken too kindly. <br /><br />We have a ton of knowledgable fans here who know quite a bit about Redskins football, particularly, and the NFL in general -- as well as a host of other topics. We do allow a lot of Redskins machismo here because that is part of the Redskins experience. More than likely you will also read critical, disparaging, mean-spirited, and callous statements about things related to your chosen football team. <br /><br />Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a friendly environment. When you are here, your screen is burgundy and gold for a very deliberate reason. Nothing about this site should have suggested to you that we are remotely interested in being all things to all football fans.<br /><br />We'll do our best to keep it as cordial as possible but bear in mind you are the unknown to us. You have obviously chosen to be a guest in our home so take the time to familiarize yourself with our guidelines and the environment of the boards.<br /><br />You will usually be treated with the same respect you afford others. You might decide you don't like it here but we've worked hard to get it to this point and we like it an awful lot. <br /><br />We, for the most part, allow light and good-natured "smack talk". However, if things become personal in nature it will be dealt with swiftly and decisively. Our bias lies with our members.<br /><br />Enjoy your stay here -- just don't allow that to interfere with our ability to enjoy your stay here. <br /><br />Die Hard -- Co-Owner of Extremeskins<br /> <br /> <small>[ March 04, 2002, 02:00 AM: Message edited by: Die Hard ]</small>

I would only add to DH's post by pointing out that there are some fans of other teams who are well-liked regulars here - notably Tom [Giants Fan] - because they're good guys who offer interesting and objective insight into our team, their team, and the league in general. This is a fair board. If you want respect, you'll get it if you act respectfully. We're glad to have you here.
