re: A little Synopsis of how fan bases react to the possibility of a downturn

OTOH, just like in the economy, there are always doomsayers predicting calamity. Eventually something bad does happen, and they say "see, I was right all along!"

Agreed. IE, if you predict it will rain long enough, eventually, it does.

But, I can tell you that I was on message boards for the Dinardo era and it fit my synopsis perfectly. Nowadays, even the most positiger on here will claim he knew Dinardo was going to fail.

And yet, back then, that era's version of "pumpers" was just as common and all of the arguments were pretty much the same.
