I tend to think discussion forums and social media in general would benefit from more kindness and tolerance rather than more objectivity.
Five years ago I might have felt differently - I might have felt duty bound to try and reach some kind of "objective" opinion of GOATNESS.
But now...sod it. Only today I was enjoying an ATP Tweet about Arthur Fil's great Tweener shot in Antwerp and the thread was getting spammed with 40/15 gifs because the commentator had referred to the shot as Federer-like. "OMG, this might give Federer fans a smile and that can't be allowed so let's try and spoil it for them".
Weak Era is just as bad an argument now as it was when Djokodal fans invented the concept but honestly, if Federer fans want to use it in their turn I just can't bring myself to care.
