How to correct?

[Brad]

Let's keep it to baseball and not politics please.

Any personal attacks or anything else inappropriate needs to be reported through the board tools.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad, the moderators have never cared if the guy from Aerosmith personally attacks people.

Well, right now I am the only moderator ... and we are working on getting a team of moderators together along with a revised discussion board.

Anyone interested can email me at [email protected] letting me know their interest.

Thanks,
Brad

You need to define personal attack. It's happened to me many times, but the difference is I don't whine to the moderators or administrators about it. You've done it several times in the past yourself to me.

IMO, if you whine and cry to others, you don't need on the field calling the game. Perhaps the dugout would be more appropriate.

I'm sure you will take great exception to this post.............as usual.

Really... you considered this a personal attack? You have to have the thinnest skin out there. it was not.

Someone equated your name with Aerosmith... I think that's pretty understandable, right?

You changed someone else's post when quoting them. (Nevermind this is just wrong to do). I have no idea what you were referring to when you changed it to Azimuth... how does Azimuth relate to your name? I really don't know. Hence the question.

NOT a personal attack or even a harsh comment. Just a question.

Sure it wasn't, not in your world at least. I ran a spell-check through, and I inadvertently changed the spelling. You run a post through spell-check, many posters names will come up with a different spelling, Your attempt to nitpick is just that a nitpick.

This, Brad, is just one of the many examples of what I was mentioning in my earlier post. To set the record straight Crowder, you're one of the posters I was referring to when a newbie comes on board. You like to pile on when the chance arises. Kind of like right now. I'm sure you will disagreee...........as usual.

You might try doing something else with your free time. Let's see how thick your skin is. Stay condescending, Mike, because that what I perceive was the direction you were headed in when making your statement.

This isn't a personal attack or harsh statement, just the way I feel about such a post as yours.

PS~I can't even think of a valid reason you would bring it up in the first place.

I have never seen your name until today, as I don't frequent the baseball boards ... but in every post I have seen of yours so far your tone is awful. When you say things like the above, you are going to rub people the wrong way.

I also wonder why you have a political statement in your signature. Doesn't really seem to serve any purpose other than to cause disputes that have nothing to do with officiating.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's get back to baseball, shall we? That's where the fun is!

Every post..................? Did you even read what was directed my way from some? For reasons unknown, I seem to be wrong about everything. Perhaps you should frequent the baseball forum more often. The tone here is totally anything unlike the other forums. It's awful for the most part.

So am I the only one? I've seen some of these guys ride a new poster right off the forum. They call them trolls, worthless, ignorant, etc. IMO, bob let some act like Teflon. Nothing sticks to them. Other posters don't say anything because they don't want to listen to a pack of hyenas. If you would notice, I have never engaged in such practices.

I'll be honest, I've had my share of run-ins with some, but I've never, ever once fired the first shot. I put everything out in the open. You won't get PM's or emails from me complaining. Now if you would like, I can sit back, and report every post I find demeaning. Would you like to listen to me whine? I think not.

I quit umpiring a couple of years ago, but I do like to keep up with different changes and mechanics.

As for my signature line, I can't stand anything remotely associated with what the Republicans have done to this country, in well, the last 11 1/2 years. I follow politics very closely these days because I care about my welfare and future. This country doesn't need another hand puppet like Bush.

Please tell me what you really, really want, and I will try with everything I've got to make this baseball forum better than it ever was before.

Now I've exposed myself for what it's worth. If you care to do the same, I'll be right here listening. Now I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, so it would be refreshing to know for once.

I for one am glad that the board tools of which you speak will once again be utilized as designed.
