As are anyone who’s had even a remote interest in the game for the last 20 years. I’m not disputing that the rule exists, I simply want to read it for myself.

I happened to come across some interesting things about what can be found in those “secret” documents, at http://www.businessofbaseball.com/insidethemlbrules.htm

There were quite a few thing in there that I think would be interesting to read, and I don’t get why so many folks feel that’s evil.

I just don't understand why he can't be banned from participation and still be in the HOF.
And neither do I!!!!!!!

Not that it makes any difference, but perhaps if we read what was being talked about for ourselves, we’d be more comfortable with what’s going on.

Scorekeeper,

You just want to read it - or you just want to call people ignorant and/or blowhards?

Which is it?

BS

LOL

itsinthegame,

Unfortunately, you are like so many others. You equate ignorance to stupidity. To someone with any kind of common sense and education, that’s completely wrong, and a big reason so many people are afraid to admit a lack of knowledge.

As far as blowhards go, if the shoe fits …..

LOL

In a very short period of time - you have called people a large variety of disparaging names on a public forum.

Some of your posts have been edited - and some deleted - because you used ethnic slurs.

You have - without solicitation - private messaged several members - with disturbing messages.

And you have done this on other sites as well.

Your "game" wont play here on the HSBBWEB.

I assure you of that.

And I recommend you stop chuckling - and start acting like an adult.

Don't let iig get to you, SK. He's done his share...

Please point them out, and if that is true, I will apologize in every case if what I said is not true. But don’t just say I did this or I did that.

Some of your posts have been edited - and some deleted - because you used ethnic slurs.
I am not aware of that happening. Although its possible, I don’t remember purposefully doing such a thing, and no one has said anything to me to indicate I’ve done that, other than you. If what you say is true, please tell me what they were and I’ll certainly apologize to anyone I might have inadvertently offended.

As far as I know, the only editing done to any of my posts has either been done by me, normally because I’ve made a spelling or grammatical mistake, and there’s no preview on this board. But, I have seen a few times when I’ve used a word I ordinarily would think was part of the common language, such a c-r-a-p that is evidently automatically edited by the software. I have also deleted some posts I made at the request of someone some time back, because she asked me to, not because I thought they were offensive.

You have - without solicitation - private messaged several members - with disturbing messages.
Yes, I have privately messaged several members. The owner, a moderator, you, TPM, and a couple others who shall remain nameless. Also, I’ve received several PM’s from people who have been extremely supportive, and find you to be treating me in a very unfair manner. So what’s your point!

And you have done this on other sites as well.
Site, not sites. There’s only one other site I use that allows PM’s. I have PM’d a few people on that site, but what business is that of anyone’s on this site. [/COLOR*

Your "game" wont play here on the HSBBWEB.

I assure you of that.
[color:BLUE]I am not playing an “game”, and I assure YOU of that. If the owner decides I’m not welcomed here, I’m sure she’ll pass that on to me. Until then, I’m doing my best to take the advice she has given me, but you make it very hard to do.

And I recommend you stop chuckling - and start acting like an adult.
Now what are you talking about? Chuckling? I guess I’m not allowed to use the emoticons now, nor am I allowed to use “LOL” the way you do.

Texan,

I appreciate your comments! I also appreciate the comments of so many other folks who don’t necessarily support or agree with what I say, but feel I should be at least allowed to express my opinions with getting run through the wringer.

I’m trying hard to be a productive member of this board, but find I’m spending more time dodging personal attacks from a very few people, than defending my opinions, and that’s horrible.

But so far I’m ok with it and will continue to make posts.

I went back & read all of SK's posts in this thread. I don't see how anyone can get worked up over what he has said.

What the heck is wrong with someone trying to educate themselves and wanting to read the source? Absolutely nothing in my book. In fact, I view that as a very positive trait.

It was iig who launched the first shot. And without cause, IMHO.

Texan,

Did you receive a copy of the PM I got from this cyber nut 2 weeks ago?

If so - please recite it to me.
Tell me what he put in writing.
Unsolicited.
Tell me.

If not - why dont you mind your own business?

Productive?

Calling people names is productive?

Here is the deal. Anyone can post whatever they want.

But every time you post a derogatory statement about our players - or someone's nationality - I am going to cyber smash you.

Either you will stop the garbage - and act like a human being - or I will get kicked off the site.

It will most likely be one or the other at the end.

Either way - as you are so fond of saying - we will man up.

Here is what I said in my post:
"I went back & read all of SK's posts in this thread. I don't see how anyone can get worked up over what he has said.

I note that you did not address anything I said. If you did tell me. Tell me.

I don't know what was in your PM's and am not overly concerned about that.

I do know what I read in this thread. And SK didn't say anything I view as offensive or attacking. Unlike your posts in this thread, where you started the attack.

Get off your high horse.

Go ahead & make your unwarranted attacks against posters, but "I am going to cyber smash you" every time you do.

Texan,

If you want to read one thread - and use that as justification for an assortment of garbage posts - ethnic slurs and nasty PM's - be my guest - and have a ball.

But that stuff dont work here - and never will. Despite your high horse nonsense and the rest of your insults.

You need to do your homework before you spout.

You are defending a cyber entity that uses ethnic slurs - and writes nasty unsolicited private messages on the HSBBWEB.

And that wont play.

Wake up - and/or mind your own business. You are embarassing yourself.

iig -

SK has posted on many threads. And aside from one of his first posts where he and others got a little off track, he has been a good contributor. He raises good points. Adds some good info. Questions things.

You keep throwing out ethnic slurs as one of his "sins". Yet you launch unprovoked flames at him without any justification. What is the difference? Get off your high horse.

My homework was done along ago. Not that you would have any clue about that.

You make unprovoked attacks on new (or relatively new) posters. I will defend them when I feel it is appropriate.

If YOU want to start minding your own business and quit launching unwarranted attacks, then I won't have the need to make it my business. But I guarantee you one thing, YOU will never tell me what is my business, nor what I choose to make my business.

Sorry, but there is anyone embarrassing themself, their initials are iig.

Texan,

Read this again.

You are defending a cyber entity that sends nasty private unsolicited messages to members of the HSBBWEB.

Men and Women.

That is what you are defending.

You say you dont care. IMO - As a long time member of this family - you should care alot.

Here is my advice - tell your good buddy to stop doing that.

Its not a nice thing to do - and it is not what we expect from our members.

iig, it is also interesting that you talk of insults. There were no insults in my first post on this thread. None.

I said you launched the first attack. That isn't insult. It is fact. Anyone person of reasonable intelligence can see that for themselves.

When I responded to your snide post to me, if there was any insult in that post it was my feeding YOUR OWN WORDS back to you.

Again, GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!

Just because you have been on this board for a long time, that is NO EXCUSE for your actions.

Texan,

The high horse thing aint working.

Again - the message - Nasty unsolicited private messages - to men and women - is not what we expect from our members.

Ethnic slurs will not be tolerated either.

Please tell your good buddy to cease that activity on this board.

If he does that - and acts like a normal human being - then all will be well - I am sure.

Thank you.

I have no knowledge of the PM. And quite frankly, I won't comment on what may or may not have been in it. I have only your comments on it, nothing more. I haven't seen it.

Is one bad PM worse than more than one unprovoked public attacks? I think not. He may - or may not - be guilty of the first.

You are guilty of the latter. And the unprovoked attacks are "not a nice thing to do - and it is not what we expect from our members."

Time to lock this one down & move on.

Texan,

Tell your good buddy to stop the nasty unsolicited PM's - and the ethnic slurs - and all will be fine.

Its pretty simple.

Otherwise - get the saddle out for the horse.
