The baseball board needs to be less hostile.

[cgilmo]

Without mentioning names, let me just say that a few of you have gotten out of hand with your general rudeness. Now, I know sometimes a schnide comment is well earned, but it's like most of you guys that are rude just do it to vent. This is not your place to work out your hostilities (that's the general chat board, duh!) please take it some place else.


I will be stepping up enforcement of rule #1, and we all know that rule to be "Don't be a dick"

Have a nice day.


respect my authoriti

Can't we all just get along.

I don't know Eric, can't we? It's kinda your call. Well not solely your call, but my point still stands.

Dude, why the heck are you posting that pic for free? Man, you can make some SERIOUS money with it on TMZ. Afterall, how many times have you seen a "Dogtar" in your life?

On the next episode of "Monster Quest": The Dogtar, half guitar, half dog beast.
They say this strange hybrid prowls the night in Central Park looking for its next meal.

That isn't what I meant. I don't have a problem with you posting, I have a problem with you being a dick. For example, hypothetical situation.

Say someone posts up, hey I think it would be a great idea if PSA did this....


You come in and say, I think you have too much time on your hands.


That is a good example of a situation where one could be a dick, and it's completely avoidable.

Let that HYPOTHETICAL situation be a guideline.

+ 1, I have added some notes to help remind everyone.

Please share some of your usual man crush experiences with the rest of the board.

AGREED!!! We all need to remember why we left the BMB. It was way too hostile over there. People starting flame wars over meaningless nonsense. It got to the point that I wouldn't even read the boards over there because it was too much effort to wade through the negativity. Remember folks... It's supposed to be a FUN HOBBY!!!

I need JJ's to make the hobby fun for me

Only thing I get riled up about is immigration. And Jason Heyward/Montero/Laporta/Starlin ... :grouphug:

I think it's the darn new baseball product release schedule. Too many days between new releases, and people start to nitpik at each other.

You mean baseball cards are still being produced?

I've been thinking, and I realized that this is clearly Obama's fault.

then what do you suggest we do when we differ in opinion with someone? just let it go?

 

[bouwob]

state your opinion and do not direct it at anyone else.

State your facts in clear terms and make it a 1 post deal. Do not get into a pissing match with the other poster as that will not accomplish anything except for continuing a non stop drama fest that will go on longer than it needs to.

Your 1 post should be enough. If someone rebukes it, it will likely cause them to quote you and if your argument is better than theirs the rest of the board will agree. If it is not, then they will side with the other person.

i must apologize! my sense of humor is not the strongest of my character traits. i knew i should have went with the "must have been a typo because i am sure you want us more hostile gilmore" bit i was working on.
