Garth, I neglected to add TAC to that list, my bad!
McGripes, Sleazeteams, rats, prick, troll, little league (small letters), Johnny One Note...I could go on but tose are just the ones that come to mind and I refuse to research what you've called others in the past.

1. McGripes is what I call a web site, as is Sleazteamz. That is not calling someone a name.
2. Rats is a generic term for coaches.
3. You have me confused with someother old fart. I don't call people "pricks".
4. Troll is another generic term.
5. little league, small letters, is used as a generic term for youth baseball. I have explained that before and again, it is not calling someone a name.
6. You got me on that one. Johnny One-Note was directed at an individual. I forgot about that one. I apologize if it offended you.
By the way, I'm not offended by your exaggeration that I call people names. No need to apologize. I am disappointed in that you decided to make such an accusation without the proper research, though. If you had checked what you would have found is that most often I refer to one's actions when I use a label, not to the person.

They are all names and I never said that you call people names - read it again. By the way, **hole is a body part and a name, so quit playing semantical games. 'Rats' is not a generic term for coaches anymore than blind mice is a generic term for umpires. TAC and you disdain small field questions. That is okay, but you were once there; it is deplorable to think you can't ignore a question that may be of use to someone else. Maybe a newbie has an honest question or would like some advice. Are you too noble to allow such dialogue? You implied you were a parent; I hope you didn't ignore questions from your children because you answered them once before.
I listed several individuals who were namecalling (the term I used) but you keep acting like those other names weren't there. Martyrdom doesn't suit you. I believe that the apology may be owed to your reading teacher, however. I don't feel the need to 'research' any more; they were all accurate quips from the fingertips of those mentioned. I could pull the quotes for you, but I feel you have learned the lesson. Seeing you explain what those terms meant was punishment enough.

"I find it humorous that Carl, BU56 and Garth have taken to name calling, yet you find what I write to be offensive. By the way, I'm not referring to them calling ME names, that would be too easy. Recent posts to others have contained their vitriol."]
