I can just picture exponentially-increasing demand for "self-help/holistic healing" YouTube seminars on the various pluses and minuses of Vaughn, Leury Garcia, Mercedes and Collins in the DH spot. The off-season was more fun because we could simply start a thread about 75-100 different FA's because there was no movement for so long, leading to endless (most useless) hours of speculation, the famous Twitter "insiders" and poor Hector hyping the Dominican players and taking hits from all sides.

VAfan Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 As the thread title says, I'm going to enjoy the White Sox this year. Some posters on Soxtalk? Not so much. I would enjoy it more if people would stick to the topics and refrain from personal back and forth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once something is posted the op loses all control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed we are. Because pointing out where people's arguments are flawed is in no way horseshit. And it happens in virtually every thread, including ones I don't post in.

Bob Sacamano Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Can we just have one thread, especially one that is about enjoying the team, where it doesn't turn into negative bullshit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I don't think you should put everyone you disagree with on ignore -- but personally once I put a few posters on ignore my soxtalk experience and my own posting got better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 With all due respect chitown...it’s an internet message board. What could possibly be said that would make you go full bully and block another poster’s existence? Please share an example of something that warrants an ignore. I’m sure 99% didn’t even know that feature existed 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone feels like ignoring someone will improve their experience on this site, by all means go ahead. The blocked person isn't notified unless they are told, who cares 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red meat is fine but eating it every day isn't recommended for health. I have three posters on ignore and I am much happier and calmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Rogan knows how to make conversation and engender strong opinions from his guests.. As a quality in a podcaster, that's a good thing. As a message board poster it gets tiresome when you feel a particular poster is just baiting over and over again. I'm not on a podcast, I don't have to talk to fill time, hence the ignore button. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 similarly to how weird i find reporting something to an e-moderator, i find having to put a poster on ignore to actually just ignore them and not be bothered by them is odd. all goes back to just reading posts without reading who posted it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Being a Season Ticket holder I received an extensive email yesterday regarding acquiring tickets for the opening homestand and the rules once you're in the stadium. You can't bring in any type of bag including a bottle of water. You have to wear a mask at all times. You will be required to stay within pre-assigned zones, which include designated concession and restroom areas. In other words you can't walk around the park. There are numerous other rules and i can't help but wonder, how many fans are actually going to go to the first homestand? I realize adjustments have to be made but it rubs me as if the overall enjoyment of going to the game is being taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
