clujer420 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 When you called Cotts a "bastard" I doubt you were referring to his fatherless childhood. A "bastard" child isn't necessarily a child who is fatherless. I'd be considered a "bastard" child, as my parent were not married yet when I was born. It's no big deal.

clujer420 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Although actually the combination of, in the original thread title, "f*** Neil [sic] Cotts" and ""give it up to Danny Wright" presented a verbal picture of a most unusual sexual fantasy. Call me crazy, but when I read something like "f*** Neal Cotts" or "f*** him", I don't get ANY pictures of sexual fantasies. ESPECIALLY when the "f***ing" involved another dude.

YASNY Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Wow. This is the second long thread I've read on the merits, or lack thereof, of the f*** NC thread. Personally, whenever I have a comment obout the pro or cons about a particular player or his performance, I post with the distinct possibility in mind that that player may actually read the post. I would hate for one of my posts to personally insult a member of the White Sox. As for name calling, as a rule, I don't do it. There have been a couple of exceptions. Usually, I'll take the approach to say that a certain post or statement is either idiotic, asisine or moronic. That way, I'm not saying that person who made the post is an idiot or whatever, but that particular statement was idiotic or whatever. To me, there is a vast difference between the two approaches. However, I have learned that not all people see it my way, so I pick and choose when and where to use even those adjectives carefully. Any thread that is labeled "f*** (Player's Name)" is going to put any fans of that player in a defensive mode, at best, right from the start. Others will go directly to attack mode. Don't start a thread like that and expect rational, logical conversation about it. It is not going to happen. You could not logically expect an intelligent, well thought out conversation to develop in a thread with such an unintelligent, not thought out title. You reap what you sow.
