re: Why do some posters get so defensive when Ranters criticize our offense?

Depends on who is "criticizing" the offense.
It's the first thing I look at when I see a post regarding that. White Tiger seems to love "criticizing" or "critiquing" the offense all the time. A couple other posters do as well. It's literally all they talk about.
Criticizing the offense is certainly understandable but when it's over and over and over and riling people up to make negative posts, that's when it's something else.

Im talking about people that specifically come into threads to comment on people's posts about our offense.

Riling who up exactly?
It doesn't rile me up because it's factual. The offense for whatever reason (execution, scheme, personell, play calling) has been subpar for years. If it rials you up that much, then you can choose just to read another more positive thread. The guy's thread may die faster that way.

It is at times frustrating when healthy discourse devolves to silly name calling, silly categorizing, or reminders of our record suggesting critical discussion is precluded.
Living in NYC for the past ten years, I have come to rely on this board for my LSU fix. It's where I get that which I grew up on, LSU conversation--the kind of conversation where we celebrated together or debated the root cause(s) of a loss together. Yes, we understood we were not coaches, nor would the actual coaches ever contact us to get our thoughts but that passion for LSU ran deep and seemed to become a part of our genetic makeup. If our Tigers lost, we felt as though we had to understand the how's and why's. And boy did we disagree (sometimes vehemently), but we always talked though it nd listened to each other. And yes, even in victory we engaged in critical discussion. My LSU brethren are few and far between up here so i come here for that conversation. Yet, over the past few years, often, questioning of the staff or play calling quickly leads to negatiger this positiger that; or "post less"; or "root for someone else." Heck, even a member's post count has been grounds for dismissal of that person's opinion. With that said I come back again and again :)
