I hear you. I do tend to vent as things are going badly. This was a terrible weekend for all Red Sox fans and the playoff chances of our team. The things that I posted during the game struck a chord because most of the posters felt down at that time. Unfortunately, I will probably continue to vent about the managers moves, the umps, the FO, or whatever during losing games.:dunno: By way of general commentary not directed at Example 1, one thing that my targets all have in common is that they don't post here, so I don't understand the personal attacks that return. We are all fans of the same team, but an attack on the FO, the manager, an ump, or a player is not a personal attack on a poster calling for personal retaliation. Some people need to get a grip and realize that the posters on these boards have a common bond. We passionately root for the same team. That's why we are here. The players, FO and the manager really don't care what we say in these boards, yet we treat with more respect than our fellow posters. As for the Yankees and their fans...:thumbdown
