It does seem sort of incongruent for the same guy that was recently defending his right to express free thoughts "in this little corner" of the internet to want others to knock it off when their thoughts don't align with his own.

I'll defend your right to express your opinion, form your own moral compass or even to be outraged if you see something that rubs you the wrong way. But I'll draw the line at having someone else telling me that I can't do the same.

Ahem,

I hinted that it was tasteless and suggested that it might be a good time [for all of us, especially the poster prior to you] to stop.

Just where did I tell you a damned thing?

And what in hell is going on around here?

My bad - wrong Kennedy.
And it would have also been a tasteless joke if the man whose assassination was being joked about were a Republican. This is a humanity issue, not a two-party political one.

Not everything is partisan.

Those seemed like declarative statements to me, not hints or suggestions.

The only thing I'll add is...

Yes, Mr. Zapruder, a pitcher definitely can make a legal pick-off move to first base without disengaging the rubber.

Even as a righty...which seems to be lost on many.

Ahh, the lone pitcher theory.

Very funny ... yeah, sure.

And well worth saying; just like the comment you quoted.

Thanks for the answers, guys - much appreciated.

I've always understood it the way you've all confirmed but as you've also said opinions have been known to differ for some reason, lol.

Thanks also for pointing out that a jump throw is considered in contact - hence if you jump turn and don't complete a throw, it's a balk, right?

Cheers
