Gosh, Bubba, you're just another of those impotent and senile guys who....
You don't like being called that? Neither did I.
I have not yet called anyone any names on this Board except in obvious jest.
That is an urban legend on this Board fostered by two long-time enemies, both of whom have been reprimanded publicly here, and one of whom who has been reprimanded publicly on another Board as well.
As for disagreeing, try it and see what happens. As I have posted many times, I welcome disagreement. There's a thread on McGriff's about runner interference with a batted ball that's 31 posts long with only two stupid comments by an anonymous troll who styles himself "Fearless Leader." (Fearless? If so, why is he anonymous?)
Sharp disagreement; no consensus; no name calling except for the troll.
What I don't like are people who ask my
opinion and then want to argue about it.
Bubba: "Carl, I didn't eject the batter because.... What do you think?"
Papa C: "Well, I think he should have been ejected because...."
Bubba: "Oh, yeah? Well, you're wrong. Yadda yadda, yah, etc."
Go back and reread the thread. Then come back and tell me who fired the first shots. Don't accept the unsupported assertions of those who would cause trouble.
