August 30, 200421 yr I think it protects vulnerable posters with the name calling or people being made fun of. This is a good idea. Post Etiquette. I like it. vulnerable posters?

August 30, 200421 yr I have 1 question. Say someone posts about signing Rey Ordonez...am I going over the line saying "I think that's a stupid idea?" I don't think I am...I'm just letting my opinion on the subject be known...correct? Otherwise...I think it's a great policy, and it should help Soxtalk.

It being a stupid idea refers to the Ordonez signing. And once again, it isn't posts like this we are worried about. It is more like having a response of "you are a f***ing idiot" when suggesting the signing of Rey Ordonez, which we are looking to stop.

I don't think many of you will see any changes at all. It's more for the deep stuff that was encountered in the last couple of weeks as ss2k keeps noting.
August 30, 200421 yr As long as they don't post here So now I have to ask them if they post at Soxtalk before I can swear at them??? Life is getiing too complicated... "GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU LITTLE.....excuse me, kids, do you post at Soxtalk? You DO?.....well, then....I DISAGREE WITH YOUR DECISION TO WALK ON MY LAWN AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU DIVERT YOUR PATH BACK ONTO THE SIDEWALK, PLEASE!!!!!!"
August 30, 200421 yr Great Idea guys.. This is something that does need to be done.. I have been called names before, and I know this may be hard to believe, but yes.. even I... (sigh) have called people names on here... Getting rid of that is only going to make this a better site

I kind of figured that's what you guys were talking about, but I was just clarifying.

(sigh) have called people names on here... Getting rid of that is only going to make this a better site Well when you support Billy Koch, what do you expect?
August 30, 200421 yr Well when you support Billy Koch, what do you expect? That is a personal attack... Someone ban him
August 30, 200421 yr I am soooo gonna run accross your lawn now Landmines are not name-calling, you know.... best of luck in your lawn-crossing endeavors...
August 30, 200421 yr I do have a serious weakness, though. When people talk s*** about Frank, I feel the need to call them idiots. I can't help it. Just recently, someone said that Frank was "the problem all of these years". I'm not gonna name names. But I did call that person a floundering idiot. However, I would say the same thing to them in person. Honestly.
August 30, 200421 yr I bet Brando and Ozzietheairdale will have fun on here now When I read ss2k4's opening statement, those are the first two guys that I thought about.

However, I would say the same thing to them in person. Honestly. I smell a loophole... Example: "You are a blankety-blank blanking blank blanker....AND I'D CALL YOU THAT TO YOUR FACE!" It's like the "no offense" thing, a Magic Eraser if you will....
August 30, 200421 yr When I read ss2k4's opening statement, those are the first two guys that I thought about. Feel the same way Buddy!
August 30, 200421 yr This is a great thread........FOR ME TO POOP ON But to be serious, i think this is a great idea.....though i haven't complained about being hasseled or i haven't hasseled anyone....but it's still a good idea IMO.
August 30, 200421 yr And you know...it'll be a case-by-case basis. 99.9% of posters are already cool...they've never done anything to violate any of this. And, as always, any insults towards Jason and his mom are fine by me.
August 30, 200421 yr That's not what we are talking about at all. It being a stupid idea refers to the Ordonez signing. And once again, it isn't posts like this we are worried about. It is more like having a response of "you are a f***ing idiot" when suggesting the signing of Rey Ordonez, which we are looking to stop. but isn't someone who suggests rey ordonez would be a good signing indeed a f***ing idiot? I do agree that the threads that go on for pages that contain nothing but childish bickering need to be addressed, and it certainly sounds like you guys have identified that issue. On the other hand, there are plenty of instances on this board where people need to be told they're a dumbass. I mean it's an internet site, a message board, how hurt can someone's feelings truly get from an online insult? I don't know, I guess I just find it odd that an obscenity-laced tirade about Joe Crede or Mike Jackson is just fine and dandy but calling another poster an idiot is unacceptable. I think most people would agree that obscenity-laced tirades are not only more vulgar, but much more inappropriate in a forum where there are no age restrictions. But of course, I'm not responsible for maintaining the atmosphere on this board, so you guys probably know best.
August 31, 200421 yr Good policy, those posts get very inane. I, for one, prefer to confine my inanity to my arguments.
August 31, 200421 yr i am a by product of the wsi power hungry assholes. esp vc who took the opportunity to gain some brownie points by making up some rules that they should live by. however, listening to the new guidelines, i have no problem. i hope that it would stop the senseless bulls***.
