Threads that go bad--to Sluggo

Sluggo,
I’m a moderator...so allow me to moderate. I see you’re a new member and want to welcome you to the HSBBW. Thanks for asking the question. I hadn’t heard of the incident with Mrs. Biggio. Thanks to FrankF too for the “Rest of the story”. Going back to the first part of the thread I can see why you felt the way you do. To compound matters you’re a new member and probably feel a little intimidated about venturing out and asking a question. A few weeks back I challenged new members to ask questions and explained there were no dumb questions. I also challenged us old times to make those new members feel good that they had asked. Sorry...I still think it's a good plan. We members of the HSBBW (new and old) have to understand the public forum like the HSBBW is at the mercy of whoever chooses to “click on”. To defend some of the old timers like myself, we have read many posts that are carefully planned to touch a nerve with others...and we jump. I know in this particular instance that was not the intent. On the HSBBW message boards we ALL have to give the others the benefit of the doubt. If we get involved in one-upmanship, we all lose. This board is about young players, their families, their game of baseball and how to make their time from youth baseball to the major leagues as great as it can be, even if it ends prematurely.
We will always have “conflicts” because we all have different personalities and we all have the floor at the same time. To make this thing work like it has for many years, we all have to step back at times...take a deep breath, and say.........nothing at all.
Thanks,
Fungo
