southsider2k5 Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 No not at all. But you make it like he's on here all the time like alot of us are. But you can't tell me that nobody else insults anyone here. If Big Frank my favorite player in all the world, my hero, my idol, has a bad game, I don't make excuses. I get angry. The reason I care is because (god help me) I love this f***ing team so much. I never made a reference to how many posts Neal has made, nor how often he has been on this board, because to me it doesn't make a difference a member is a member and deserves a certian level of respect. People insult each other on here all of the time. That is the downfall of the much more open rule structure on here. And like I said, there were a million different ways that a person could have said how bad Cotts pitched last night, and I wouldn't have argued with many of them, because he did get wild. And as for the reaction of a bad night, that is fine. I rarely get upset, except for a few times a year, when it is a mental aspect that is a downfall, and not a physical problem. But take out of the game what you wish. That my friend is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 If they walked six in 2 1/3 innings. But hey, I like the guy and hope he does great. I respect you for your opinions and the fact that you haven't resorted to name calling, but I don't like the reasoning for your opinions. But I respect them. I'm sorry but you are completely and utterly wrong You don't start threads that say "f*** so and so" SS2k3 is right when he says criticize them all you want, but if you want to start threads like that with stupid insults, go find the espn boards or something That, and grow up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjmarte Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Just because he hasn't posted much doesn't mean that he isn't reading stuff here. I read a lot more than I post. Also I have no problems with the "f*** Somebody or Something" format for thread topics in general. I think the fact that he may be reading posts here and the fact that the title is likely to be rubbing salt in a wound is a justification for changing the title, or for locking the thread as was done. That was probably the better decision but then that is why I'm not an admin. Even if Carlos Lee did read the posts here I think he's dropped enough balls in his life that he is no longer crushed by it. Besides "Dumbass" has almost turned into a term of endearment.

Steff Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 How many fans, posters, will we lose with thread titles like those? I can tell you that a lot of people come here specifically to look and laugh at the BS like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all defending the title, I do disagree with some of the points he made. I do think that alot of people have been acting like the guy threw a shutout though. I have no problem with Neal, AT ALL. All I'm saying is he had a bad game, yesterday. Period. Soemone try and tell me he did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, then fine I don't call CLee dumbass, but alot of people do, at least earlier in the season. That's what I'm trying to say, is that no one gets up in arms about this. If Cy Young Loaiza had walked 4 straight, I'd have said the excact same thing: "The bastard has wlaked FOUR in a row, now". If that happened, I don't think many people would be that upset.

bjmarte Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Wait.. a "f ______ " thread is not all owed but we have this guy ---> :fyou Isn't that the same thing.. No, it isn't. Ya gonna tell me why bj.... Well, I can start but I won't be able to finish because I don't have enough time. First, you can't put smilies in post titles to be seen from the main page. Second, my perception is that the :fyou smiley is most often used between friends on the board. Third, even when it isn't used between friends, sometimes telling someone to f*** off, directly and to their face (as much as possible on a message board), is appropriate. Telling a member of the board to f*** off based on something stupid they said in the body of a post is completely different (IMHO) from saying it in the title of a thread that everyone visiting the board can see straight off. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used. I don't mean this as harsh as it is going to sound but... go start your own board and see how many people decide to stay and play by your rules.
