How can you stop a thread when there was neither advantage nor displacment? BoSox/Yankees banter is incidental contact. When it starts displacing other content, call the foul, but until then, it's part of the game.

Plus, on a more serious note, humor is a wonderful reflection of the individual. The value of this board is not just in its ability to get different insights on rules, but also on differences in officiating styles and approaches. What works or doesn't work for any idividual is greatly influenced by their own personality. This board helps people understand each other's personalities, thereby giving everybody insight into what might work best for them. Humor has a rightful place here in the context of the regulars. I wouldn't want this board to be where I went to hear the latest rich Yankee joke, but I do appreciate what any of the regulars have to say, even when it is an off-topic joke.
