It's amazing. You let the guys with 50,000 posts GO OFF! but the new guy? Slap the s*** out of him....

These guys had been going off for days.?..............

 

I post a very reasonable post, but happen to use a few "labels," that somehow snag you, and you immediately LAY DOWN THE LAW?!

 

Good on ya mate!

Cmon RSDD. Calm down. You're too good a poster and you've got way too many good thoughts on the Sox; I don't want to see you banned from here. We're the new guys, got to earn the benefit of the doubt. This isn't worth it.

Holy s***, you have got to be kidding me. I don't have any idea how to be clearer without being repetitive. I have been excruciatingly patient and polite, and that does not seem to get through.

 

Talksox is not a site for political debate. That's it. I was not asking for more replies or more snide f***ing comments about my statements. I was explaining to you how things work, and then I explained it again. Did you notice how no one else picked up on your comments and started talking about politics? It's because they know how badly it ends here. So just stop.

 

Would you like some detailed examples of what the "rules" are? Here you go:

 

On the field, I'm still a big fan. Off the field, not so much. Following him on Twitter is a drag. He's outspoken, judgmental, and is always boasting his political views, none of which I agree with.

 

This is okay. Nonspecific and unlikely to fan the flames of someone on the "other side"

 

I believe that the Schill, Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell wing of my party is destroying it with some pretty brainless rhetoric.

Then again, the Dem. Nutty wing is sending them over the nutjob far left cliff.

 

( yes. The double standard for left wing sports guts is obvious. I get it & it's laughable )

 

This is not okay. This is the beginning of a seventeen-page long argument on a baseball forum that ends with people calling each other fascists or communists and insulting each other's intelligence.

 

Those are the damn "rules", okay? If you respond to this post with another obnoxious, sarcastic comment that makes it clear you are willfully misunderstanding me, I'm going to lock this f***ing thread and create a new one where the only thing you will be allowed to talk about is Curt Schilling as a baseball player. I have been trying very hard not to act like a jackbooted thug, but you are not making it any easier. Enough.

The difference, as I understand it, is that Schilling invested somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million of his own personal money into the business. So........ did he lose a small fortune personally? Yes. Is he totally broke? Perhaps not. But he sure ain't filthy rich anymore.

 

He blew it with this company, but I think he wanted to do a good thing. Be successful. Create jobs... etc. But he clearly is not as bright as he thinks he is.

I make be somewhere on the spectrum of the same political aisle as Schill, but I believe that the Schill, Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell wing of my party is destroying it with some pretty brainless rhetoric.

Then again, the Dem. Nutty wing is sending them over the nutjob far left cliff.

 

Slash was fundamentally right though, although we disagree on most things political.

 

s***** businessman.

Says really stupid things politically. ( yes. The double standard for left wing sports guts is obvious. I get it & it's laughable )

Red Sox all time GREAT, who should never buy a drink in Boston.

 

 

Is it really that I don't hate Ruth Bader Ginsburg for not hating Antonin Scalia?

 

Maybe you could pm who I should hate on. You seem to know?

Unf***ingbelievable.
