Good to hear. I like having the stability in our system.

Its not going to be an easy black and white thing. The whole thing we are asking is to stick to the post when critiquing. Technically yes, if you say you are idiot, you have crossed the line of personal insults. But it is not like we are going to be banning people for calling someone an idiot either. We want to see the personal insults stop. My rule of thumb is if you are identifying the person instead of the post, it is personal. And there is no reason to call someone, anything really. Stick to responding to the content of the post and you will be fine.

I thought they put Chavez's shot at somewhere between Pasqua and Thomas's shot, but I could be wrong. I could have swore that Franks was the longest.

I googled too, lol. If anyone hearing the broadcast can shed some light on this, that would be cool

LTP Maybe this will get the guy going finally. If I am right, that is the longest HR EVER at new Comiskey Park correct? Frank had the old record at 495, right?

Maggs agent would be a fool to give away the leverage of arbitration. I just can't see that happening.

Dude you are soooo lying But seriously, you think Maggs will find that kind of money on the FA market with all of the injury fears? It would be interesting to see what his medical reports really look like.

Remember the least we can offer Maggs is $11.2 million. Would you feel comfortable offering Maggs that much money with his future in question? Is is financially responsible to make that offer?

You are soooo banned. Either that or pushed in front of a train...

Here is another one... http://www.wftv.com/newsofthestrange/3691006/detail.html

And that was the biggest reason that we have avoided doing anything like this in the past. We do value the freedom here, and we have done everything to protect it. But lately things have kind of forced our hand here. And trust me, we aren't looking to be aggressive moderators. Far from it. I would love to never take an administrative action against another poster again. But with things that have happened here over the last month or so we are trying to ensure that posters experience at Soxtalk is as good as possible. We have had visiting posters attacked, stereotypical insults have been made, people have been harassed, etc. For 99% of posters, this policy will have no change in their posting at all. But it will make posting 100% better for those 99%.

For the last time. No more personal attacks.

Apu hasn't called anybody anything. Like his opinion or not, all he has done is post information. He has said NOTHING about you personally. Nothing.

Hey Izzy, make sure you read and understand this. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=0entry444940

That is excellent. Thank god he is sticking to the debate

I know this isn't what you were saying Knight, but I do want to make one thing clear. We are not ending negative posting. If you feel this team sucks, feel free to say it. But we don't want to see people called names for their opinions anymore. That is what we are ending.

In light of recent changes and occurances that happened here we have been reviewing the way things happen at Soxtalk. First of respect for other posters seems to be at one of the lowest points since I have been on Soxtalk. Personal attacks happen for seemingly less and less of reasons. After much discussion about this as a group, we feel there are no good reasons for personal attacks on the board. We encourage all debate on topics, and we don't want to ever see that change. That is why we give you all so many more freedoms than your typical message board. But all personal attacks do is make Soxtalk a more hostile enviornment than it has to be, and they serve no useful purpose what-so-ever. We also feel that this new policy in no way will take away from your posting experience here, in fact quite the opposite. We think if people get back to the subjects at hand, instead of personal attacks the discussion and quality of the board will be even better. So now from now on we are asking you guys to stick to the debates at hand. We don't want to see people called names or addressed with terms of derrision, of any sort. That goes from calling someone stupid or an idiot, all of the way up to labeling people with unacceptable terms of hate or stereotypes. As always feel free to offer your opinions to this, whether it be here in public, through PM or emails. Thanks

These reports have been around forever. Basically when they connected Clinton with Chung, they knew who else had taken money, Kerry being one of them. The information about Kerry setting them up in front of the SEC came about a little later.

The one thing I will never understand is how your information is "facts" and how anything that contradicts that is lies? How do you know that you aren't the one being lied too? Apu has his stuff just as sited, if not more than anything you post.

Yes :puke

And the guy isn't even going to jail. What BS. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040830/D84PIB001.html

I dunno, Pavano just isn't really on my list. I would rather see the Sox give a little less money to Matt Clement vs Carl Pavano. I just get the feeling that Pavano would be a bad fit for the Sox.
