POSTERS

TR, you are one of the good guys and I am very glad for your stubborness, along with you willingness to help so many kids and families looking for opportunities. I cannot imagine anyone would send you a PM of ill intent, but I am constantly surprised by what I see.

JEMAZ

You would be surprised what shows up in the PM and E-mail box

Please share with the public some of your evil PMs sent to you TR. I need a good laugh

Tr, you're an outspoken guy who tells it like it is.
Some can't handle opinion unless its their own.
Hang in there buddy, you and some others are why I'm here.

TR.....sorry some people are being mean spirited, but hang in there....and consider the source.....

Like I say--I aint going anywhere--been here too long--just offered thoughts as to why some others may not be posting any longer---

tr
in my opinion you are one of the few programs in the northeast that do what you do.and it is a much needed service you perform.you have helped me and others through your posts here.i may not agree with you all the time but that's ok,i still learn something most of the time.i realize i am just a pimple on the butt of the hsbbw,but you are one of the reasons this site has the following it does .

keep on keeping on

20dad,

You have me laughing out loud for the first time today (it has been a sobering day with the news of justbaseball's son's injury).

But let me assure you that at least one member of the HSBBWeb thinks your description of your standing here is very inaccurate! (Or would we say your sitting here???)

It always is the measure of one's inteligence when they stoop to harrassment in lieu of debate or expression of opinions.

Let it roll with the rest of the droppings.

All I can say is I've learned a lot from many of the long-time posters on here. The experience and the knowledge gained from folks like TR and others is incredible. This site has helped me improve the play of the kids in our program and better prepare them for what lies ahead - both in baseball and in life.

As someone who reads and learns more than he posts....all I can say is thanks. Knowledgable, long time posters need to know they truly make a difference.

TR, I greatly admire what you do as well as many here, if not all, at HSBBW. We are one big extended family and I view you all as winners and my heros as I have pointed out in Frapper. If you will notice the number of people who have joined up lately and the number continues to grow and sorry but I personally don't see anybody leaving....Quite the opposite....People are coming...By the droves...And Oh by the way...There's one more thing...You would be really surprised at some of the baseball people who are already here incognito as guests as well as members. Some of the more outspoken and testy posters would prolly tone it down a notch, IMHO. Not my job to point out who...Moderators do a fine job of that......



I have always pretty much said what I think which sometimes opens myself up for criticism and I believe TR and I are a lot alike in that regard which can be a blessing or a curse but one thing I can say when I lay my head down at night is....That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it and I'm not cowering down if I feel strongly enough in what I am standing up for or against...no matter what..."STAND UP FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR ANYTHING!!!!" Peace Board, Shep

TR:
I havn't been here all that long but I greatly appreciate your help and opinions and those of others who have tried to help with my stupid questions. I for one hope you never leave.
As to the nasty PM's just consider the source's.
( I hope my PM's don't offend or bother you.)

TR:

I don't always agree with what you say, (I don't always agree with what my husband says, either) but I almost always get a kick out of you. I appreciate the time and effort you spend trying to help so many young men and their families, and your knowledge is priceless. You're kind of like the Simon Cowell of the HSBBW--

Glad to know you ain't leaving...

Being compared to Simon Cowell is a quite a compliment because I truly admire his openess adn honesty--if people would listen to him they would find he is right better than 90% of the time,

Incidently I do not expect everyone to agree with me ---we are here to discuss and offer opinions--I continue to learn from the posters here as they experience things I have never experienced---

It's the saying what goes around comes around. Why burn bridges you might need later on? There are people on this board that have allot of knowledge to give to us newbie's. I hope to use that over the next couple of years....

TR,

Never let anyone drive from here. I have enjoyed our spirited differences as well as the things we have agreed upon.

Contrary to some who think its a bad thing to get a bit "creative" with our bantering at times, I think it adds some spice and life to things. It would be a very boring world if we all agreed with everyone about everything.

Keep Swinging!!!!!!

NH

Spirited debate is what it is all about---not attitudes---I dont ask everyone to agree with me-- we are here to draw on each individual experiences--that is what is has always been about on this site---like I say I still learn fromthe experiences that are talked about

We had a recent thread on why old posters are no longer here--perhaps I have the reason--- posters who harass thru PM's

I didn't think mine was all that harsh.

harrasing by PM?..........please...not sure who would think that would bother TR for a second....

If intimdiation was the goal, My guess is that they picked the wrong guy to try that on......

Tr was here before the trolls came and will be here long after...

TR you are one big sweet talker.

I've never sent TR a PM before but after reading how he talks down to people on here and having seen his condescending manner in the Texas Forum I am not surprised about him getting hate mail. Referring to those in that forum as 'You Texans' and then tossing in insults is probably not the best way to make friends.

The who take the first swing get it in return---there are certain of you in that Texas Forum who think your you know what don't stink-- fortunately I know that mine does stink and I acknowledge it
