Going back and re-reading John's posts, I can understand some of Rich's problems accepting them as gospel.

An interesting allusion, given that John has listed "church activities" among his interests in his profile.

Maybe John is prone to enthusiastic embellishment of the facts, or maybe he is simply too honest to tone down those facts to make them more pallatable to the cynics among us. Either way Rich's retort was an entirely personal comment not related to baseball, and it did come from a moderator of the board charged with deleting such offending personal posts. IMHO Jeff's (mo99) comment was on point.

No-one likes to be accused of lying, even by a faceless troll on an Internet discussion board - not that Rich is either faceless or a troll. John's perfectly normal reaction has no bearing at all on how the he might react on the diamond. To suggest otherwise, as some have done, is to ignore the obvious differences in circumstances, time and place.

Cheers
