It doesn't work that way. Do you really think the fans of the three clubs would accept having their MLS Cup runs damaged by the V Cup? The CSA wouldn't do something that stupid. 

I was talking about this one.....
 

Oh, they'll be playin for a cup....

Few things... sorry for derailing this thread. To be clear, BBTB is not a troll, and I am not describing him below. 
I was expressing some frustration with Canadian Soccer 1.0.   That is everything sucks, be relentlessly negative, tear down everything, remain pissed off about things that happened 30 years ago and find credibility in being angry.  Throw the baby out with the bath water, and cut your nose off to spite your face.  These are the founding principles of Canadian Soccer 1.0
We need more people to upgrade to Canadian Soccer 2.0.  Get the fuck behind things and help them move.   This doesn't mean you need to be a cheerleader and cant be critical.  Being critical is essential.  It means finding ways to contribute.  It means help the stadium in your city get built, even if it's the wrong design, in the wrong location ect.... because it's better to have one than NOT have one.  It's better to have a league than not have one.

Very little get's removed from this board.    I agree with the "but..." scenario because usually when people do that they are trying to shut down an opinion they don't like.   However, there are edge cases and situations where being a free speech absolutist falls flat and sensibly so. 
People conflate free speech from other Countries with Canada, I don't even think seditious libel is protected in Canada.  Putting my paranoid hat on, however unlikely it is to be prosecuted or harassed for such a thing today, governments do change. Even just a decade ago we did not have things etched into the stone of social media the way we do now. Things can go backwards, fast and hard and that portion of our version of 'free speech' could be a dangerous one.

Pie. What's your favourite pie?

Yeah.
 It's not even trolling, it's just endless evisceration of posts by people trying to casually have a conversation or speculate about a league we know little about. 
This should be fun to talk about.  It isn't.

Whoa..... Nobody getting banned....

If there is an ignore feature, as I understand there is, people should use it if they find someone’s posts continuously annoying - either that or simply don’t read or respond to them. The latter is what I do for the odd poster who I think is trolling (BBTB is not one of them incidentally). No need to ban people from the forum or even call for it unless someone is defamatory or being regularly abusive (ironically, most of the name calling is being directed at BBTB).
I get that some of you find his posts annoying and I agree sometimes the arguments are being pushed too far but censoring someone for being annoying in the eyes of many posters would be ridiculous IMO. 

for me it's likely linked to legit having ADHD and mild OCD. I can't say for others but that' me. That was definitely today's thing
Thing is I don't think he should be banned or blocked because he does have valid points at times.

Yeah.
