southsider2k5 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 We have noticed a whole lot of new posters coming into Soxtalk lately, and the Staff here wanted to take a few seconds to say hello and welcome to everyone who has jumped into the fray over the last few months. Soxtalk is a pretty established community founded over 10 years ago. In general it is a pretty relaxed page, the big rule is a ban on personal attacks. Other than that, just about any topic is fair game, within reason. Out of Soxtalk came it's sister site FutureSox, which is the best look on the planet for all things White Sox minor leagues. Both sites have facebook and twitter pages. Soxtalk is @SoxNet on twitter and found at here on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/27284358753/ FutureSox is @FutureSox on twitter and https://www.facebook.com/pages/FutureSoxcom/620988761259970 on facebook. Now back to the new posters... Out of curiosity, how did you find Soxtalk, and what made you decide to register and/or start posting finally?

Southwest Sider Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks! Normally, I just lurk and with the Sox stinking up the joint, it's easy to keep my thoughts to myself. But anticipating a fun off season, I had some thoughts I really wanted to throw out there this time. My only regret so far is saying that Bears fans deserve better then Cutler. Oh, and the Blackhawks/NHL thread needed more love, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Don't let us jerkwads scare you away. We get "passionate" about arguing ideas, but we aren't trying to be personal. Just argue "passionately" right back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just argue "passionately" right back! and there are times at the end of the discussion, the poster actually do a congrats toward each other. always remember people will not always agree, as long as it is civil and a discussion without getting personal is great conversation. other poster will read and i will tell, they will learn. these guys who post on this site are very intelligent. i am extremely happy to be a small part of this site.
