knightni Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It sucks to lose. It's easy to point blame and be angry. That said, you cross the line into personal attacks on the player or manager here at Soxtalk - expect a suspension. No exceptions. Please be a grown up and think before you type. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Is sarcastically calling somebody "Pal" against the rules? Edited April 28, 2021 by ron883 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Does this mean that we can’t point out our perceptions of the personal characteristics a player or manager may exhibit that make him incapable of doing his job professionally? Im speaking about TLR and whether he’s capable of managing at his age and with his disposition and the controversy surrounding his personal habits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is of course a line that can always be crossed as language escalates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen buddy, I don't think that crosses the line, guy. I hope you can move past that verbiage champ, but if not I wish you nothing but the best pal. 1 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Good policy, will comply. In games like last night's the hot takes serve to at least make the thread more entertaining than the game itself but not when it gets personal.

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Unfortunately people don't know how to think before they press "enter." Sitting behind a computer screen especially...just not the same is in person. Hell, I'm not even sure if that would do anything. I heard that someone was mocking Kopech in person while he was warming up in the bullpen...saying some shit about his wife and his relational problems? Like what? Way to be a class-A asshole. Hope it wasn't Sox fans, but the way some people post on here...wouldn't put it past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were saying the same thing about La Russa when he was hired. They say the same thing about Jerry Reinsdorf. Some people just have zero compassion. I think they should be given one warning (this thread probably suffices) and then if they do it again, banned for life. Get that shit out of here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiment and idea, but if I may -- this guidance needs to be clearer as "personal attacks" is an extremely broad category that encompasses about 90% of what's in a losing game thread. Wishing for a specific person's death (!!) obviously, and comically, over the line. "[Insert player] is an idiot" is a clear personal attack but I can't imagine it will result in a ban. "[Insert manager] is a drunk" is somewhere in between and I legitimately don't know whether that falls into what you're describing. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile this post is still sitting there in the Manfred thread.... 20 hours ago, YourWhatHurts said: Seriously someone really needs to beat the living dogshit out of this guy. Stomp on his head kick him in the stomach etc. Just leave him laying in a puddle of puke and blood. This isn't even about sports or baseball anymore. It's about things people shouldn't ever try to do or be just because they are given an absurd amount of authority. The players union should just form their own league. The league and all it's owners can fuck right off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The "i wish Larussa would die" comment got some attention outside soxtalk. Just a bad look. We get heated in game threads but use some common sense. If you wish someone would die for baseball decisions you need to reevaluate who you are and get some help.

ron883 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Typical cesspool that is reddit. One person makes a controversial post. Idiot proceeds to make thread "SOXTALK IS UNHINGED!!" One person's comment defines an entire forum, lol. Reddit is such trash. They must think Soxtalk REALLY dislikes Jose Abreu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
