I am not creating any straw man or making anything up.  To prove this I will give a direct quote from the original post.

You're feeling disgusted now and see how this team turned out, exactly like all the previous with Lewis/Brown...disappointing.

Here's the thing, as bad as your feeling a lot of you will think the Bengals will be a top tier playoff winning Super Bowl bound team come next September. You will say no now, but you will see the changes this offseason and convince yourself it will be different this year....IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

So tell me how feeling "pain", "disgust", and "bad" are NOT "detrimental to a person's happiness".

I have been a Bengal fan since 1973.  I have experienced all of the disappointment that anyone else here has, yet for some reason I don't feel that I have to force myself to spend my life feeling "bad" with "pain" and "disgust"  BEFORE anything happens to make me feel that way.

Then they try to claim that if they feel miserable the entire year they will somehow feel better than me when things do go bad.  Yet when things do go bad they don't act like they feel any better at all.  In fact they seem to be in more pain than me.  So that argument just is not valid.  Feeling bad does not make anyone feel better if something bad does eventually happen.
