A REMINDER

With that said TR..."elbows off the table...everyone!"


On second thought...

Very true.

What makes this site great is that many come on and have informed opinions. If we all always agreed, it would get boring.

No two people are totally alike. They may even speak differently and disagree while saying the same things.

And the more talk about baseball,
the better.

Now that's hilarious!...all of those colorful smileys doing the wave...having a real good time!

Good post Chill!

Very true, Tom.

Best part of all of this...you acknowledge that I know everything! (lolololololol)

White Sox again in 2006!

Great post! So true. Yes I remember the old days when BeenethereIL and TRHit used to go at it tooth and nail. Every time Beenthere would start a good thread, there would be TRHit to counter his point. While Beenthere was diligently researching and adding to the content on the HSBBW, there would be TR trying to disagree. It was one of the few times in my life that I actually felt compassion for an attorney. Beenthere can take credit for many things over the years including the name of “Webster”. He coined the phase many years ago and the name in itself has become commonplace in the world of baseball. BeenthereIL has become synonymous with the high quality of information provided by the High School Baseball Web. He is indeed an icon and will always be! Great post TR. Thanks!

TR....gosh what a great post. Especially about not taking things too personal. You know when you post something....and you receive private messages afterwards asking....."How Dare You"?...Well you know people are taking it way too personal.....and I'm sure we have all been through it....yes....couldn't agree with you more.....

The only problem I'm having is picturing you and BEEN as poster boys for objectivity and/or "Don't take it Personal".....but I'm working on it.....again.....great post, and I'm sure we will all take something from it.....but not too personally......

I guess we ALL get to voice our opinions so I will voice mine even though it is in the minority.

It IS possible to discuss and debate and have heated discussions WITHOUT making personal jabs.

No two folks are the same. There are those like TR & Beenthere who can spar constantly and remain friends - that's awesome. They both add considerably to this site.

There are others who are more prone to take things personally. They are not "THIN SKINNED", they just have different personalities. Nothing wrong with that either.

I am afraid we sometimes lose POTENTIAL long term contributors because they do not have the same moxie that some of the regulars do.

If we expect them "NOT TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY"

then I suppose we also should "NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY" when we are told we're being insensitive.

If you can dish it out - you better be able to take it.

Ironically it seems like THAT never happens.

AParent: Great advice!

Tom, I have to disagree with everything you've just said. Sorry.

Kidding of course. I think we can always learn a tremendous amount from threads that DO have debate. It's totally Socratic, Democratic.....Hydro-Matic! It's Greased Lightning!
