September 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) I vote this trivial discussion be moved to the catch-all thread.
September 2, 201213 yr For some reason people are afraid to start new threads. It's prolly because a lot of people get mad and jump on you if u start a new thread, so they post in catch all.

September 3, 201213 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) And cause some things don't warrant a new thread. Fair enough. But let me ask you a question. Right now I want to open a thread entitled, "We should have kept Buehrle." But I would never do that cause of the scorn I'd get. So I'd put it in catch all instead. My question to you is ... would that be a fair thread to start?

Ahead of time, I will remind you that Buehrle was part of multiple late season collapses with the Sox (he was especially brutal in 2006) and his contract still sucks.

The problem with that thread is not the catch all thread. It's that the topic has come up in probably 3-4 other threads, maybe more, across the entire trade deadline time. I wouldn't pounce on you becasue of the catchall thread, I'd pounce because its an idea that we've heard before repeatedly unless there's something new and thoughtful to contribute.

Sometimes the start of a thread makes the topic more passionate however.
September 3, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 11:42 AM) Replace catch-all with fili. /Thread If you don't like the Filibuster, don't post there or ever go into it, same as any other topic on this board. It doesn't get any easier than that.
September 4, 201213 yr The Catch all isn't going anywhere. It is perfect for the little tidbits that don't need their own threads. Important things, like what is wrong with Paul Konerko, can always have their own threads.
September 4, 201213 yr We know I hate it, but it always seems like the majority here prefer it. Is that still the case?
September 5, 201213 yr Author BUMP The catch-all is dreadful. It's clear that it kills discussion on this board.

I am scared to death to start a new thread ever. And believe me, I'd be starting a ton of threads if this board was new-thread-friendly.
