I must be missing something here. Can someone link me to a trollish post of his?
Who do think you are to question a man's Military service ? You certainly weren't a Marine, and I doubt you've served in the Military. ORS is one of the top substantive posters on the site. So, don't make unfounded derogatory posts, unless you expect to get a world of shit.
Don't know what I did, other than call a spade a spade, to have my ability to handle the service questioned. But, since it's the topic, I fit right in. It was no problem because I'm intelligent enough to understand why things get said. Bootcamp was all about indoctrination, and if you know that it's easy let what gets said be like water on a duck's back. In the fleet, they play fuck-fuck games (meaning they fuck with you) to test your discipline, and if you understand that, you don't crack because they win.
I'm not bothered specifically by what J_P says because I know it's worthless drivel intended to upset people. What I find bothersome is the behavior. He's being a smartass, and I'm calling him out for it -- as is done in the Marines.
ABREEEEEU Thread - yes that thread is in F & C, but Schilling wasn't a topic of discussion
Yesterday's Game Thread - Apparently, the Sox don't win games, the opponent bends over for them.
Last Sunday's Game Thread - after Papelbon's blown save.
Those comments aren't overboard. However, consider the context and where they were placed. Everyone is elated about winning the game yesterday, and he tries to piss in the punch bowl by saying the other team gave the game away. Everyone is a little ticked after Papelbon blows the save, and he makes a comment about hoping that is the norm. Putting those types of comments in the G/T where emotions are high is a clear indicator he's trying to get under people's skin, and it shows he has no respect for the site, unlike the other Yankee fans here (ATG13, ARod2212, Optimist, 26).Originally Posted by Jon_Papelboner
It's your site, so if you are cool with that, then that's the way it is.
I actually found that Schilling picture to be somewhat funny, and maybe Papelbon is starting to show these "True colors", how do we know he isn't? The Orioles also hit the ball hard off of him yesterday. We can only assume that he's having trouble with different catchers, just going through a bad streak...etc, but we honestly don't know and J_P has his own opinion. No reason to ban him.
You guys are going crazy on this mug. If he was another Clay is da Future, and posting pics like that, and going all political, then i would say yes, ban hiim now. And if he is spamming the site, i would say ban him, but he's just saying what he feels like. Leave the guy alone.
Ain't no thiing, but a chicken wiing

Okokokok, we don't have to make a huge deal out of this. Let's leave it at this: point noted, the situation will be monitored, we don't have to be at each other's throats because of one member.
I didn't question ORS's military service. I respect him, his posts, and his service, but since he likes to call people out on things, I thought I would point out that he does seem to get bothered by other people's posts quite often.
Also, I was in the Navy on a submarine for 6 years so don't give me the "ever served in the military" bullshit.
While his behavior hasn't been outrageous, he has added no useful content or discussion to the site. He's a hit and run artist. If he adds nothing and he is just toeing the line with his behavior so as not to get banned, ban him. He's no good. He'll never add anything useful to this site. He will just continue his prior behavior of hit and run or trolling posts. PLus he's a freakin Yankee fan. Yankee fans that don't at least give us the opportunity to abuse them with our collective superior knowledge of baseball should be banned.
