So you admit to enjoying verbally molesting children on forums? See how that works?

Rich,

Which part of his question or proposed action do you consider childish?

It seems to be an insightful, well thought out question.
I doubt a child would recognize the concept of hiding behind an ignore list.
They, children, think in much more concrete terms.

Dealing with problematic people directly and in a non inflamatory, non insulting fashion seems to be a mature perspective.

You respond to the question with an insult and since you didn't lend any insight to the question posed I assume you're only intent was to insult and inflame.
Does a true "man" respond this way to his wife, kids, peers, employees, coaches, players, nieces, nephews etc etc?
If this isn't a mature response to any of the above is it an exception to the rule that it is mature on this forum?

So . . .

. . . does everybody get it now?

fitump56, Interested Ump, CO Ump, Canadaump6, SAUmp and whatever profile PWL/Steven Tyler uses now own this site.

Best of luck to everyone for the remainder of this baseball season.

I thought with a little time away, conversations wouldn't seem so childish here... I admit that I was, unfortunately, wrong.

It is clear to me that there are some on here who completely misunderstand the purpose of the ignore list, or perhaps choose to ignore the purpose of the ignore list. I might not always agree with everyone on this site, but there are those that I respect and are interested in hearing from and those that add no substance and are more often just wrong so therefore best to ignore.

And to you. Own this site? That's absurd. If it is your choice to refuse to participate, please, don't use such a childish and indefensible excuse to do so. Truth in doses has remedy that is often painful. The facts are that we challenge everything as everything should be. The result is often painful.

I hope they don't ignore you. Ignoring your Ignore List advice would be ignoreRANT.

Of course when you and Gart have a running discussion in another thread back and forth, that's A-OK. I see. Got it.
