I feel no need to shy from those who misstate the facts or cloud them. If you find it petty and nonsensical to state what the rule book mandates then you should hang up the gear. Finally, this is not an Illinois issue. While we may reside in this state, the rule being discussed is a national standard.

Where did I say the rule book was petty and nonsensical? Quit making things up. I said you two derailing threads is petty and nonsensical. Which rule? The football rules you two are blabbering about?

Nice red herring. While I don't need the ignore feature on the field, it is nice to have it on here for people like you who love to hear themselves talk. (Or see themselves post)

Remember this bothers you, I just ignore other conversations when I choose not to participate in those conversations I find silly or trivial. I do it all the time without any internet help. Usually the topic or who is saying something usually has me not read it. You know kind of like you do in real life at a public event. You see someone you do not choose to talk to or someone calls you on the phone and you do not feel like talking, you look and go the other way. See how easy that was?

Peace

I will say it again since you have a problem with comprehension: The thread started with a discussion about 2012 baseball rule changes and you two turned it into a cesspool like you've done in the past.
