Guys.... Every time someone makes an opinion post, it is an armchair opinion. Let's try and keep things civil when it comes to our replies. We all are going to dig a little bit on opinion we disagree with and I am not going to try and police the place to where it's all lollipops and unicorns, but let's keep things fairly civil and try not to belittle each other. Don't be purposely aggressive with your comments. Now please, no further escalation here.... and move on. don't walk on the fighting side of Uckery

To which he only got more confrontational. So yeah, at that point.....anyhow, I’m done with it and moving on, but let me just tell you politely to get bent before I completely move on! Ok, there, now, ahem........moving on!

Some people can be really bad at being an armchair GM. My point is simply if a guy is putting up these numbers this early in the season: www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/albieoz01.shtmlMaybe it's silly to say he should stop being so agressive. I really don't understand why some are being so sensitive. I'll tone it down a notch but I need to know where the line is. Can I say that something is dumb without people getting their feelings hurt? I post dumb stuff too and have no problem with it being called out. Sometimes I post outlandish trades because the bored is a little slow that day and I'm trying to get some new convo started. I have no problem with someone saying hey that's a dumb idea and this is why. Part of the fun of a sports message bored is arguing with people about the team you both love.

There is no definitive line as each situation is unique...
Maybe though just a few suggestions:
Everyone can point out the merits of an argument or why they feel differently without calling someone stupid. Just the other day I made a post where I pointed out that Misery was blowing off WAR as wrong when WAR actually backed what he was saying. I didn't throw in "you're stupid". I mean the fact that you yourself noted that you're not always throwing out barbs indicates you have some knowledge of when you are being a bit overly sharp with your reply. We all do that from time to time, and I have addressed it here whenever it happens. I've also pointed it out when someone was being a bit overly sensitive, so it goes both ways.
Generally speaking, if someone makes a comment that someone else is belittling, condescending, or just being a general ass... I will weigh in with my opinion if warranted. If I do make a comment, then it's probably best to follow my suggestion... as in 'carry on, no problem, or "dial it back".
If you find you can't deal with someone, or don't want to deal with them, then as a last resort use the "ignore" feature.
Everyone... just use common sense. It's really not that difficult. 95% of the time, 95% of what goes on here causes no problems.. that is the direction everyone should take.

The Great and Powerful Oz is an amazing talent with a chance to be a perennial All-Star, of that I have no doubt. However, baseball is a game of adjustments and situations. When you're always swinging early in the count, pitchers will adjust and throw you crap pitches, therefore, the hitter must adjust and be more selective. The situation yesterday was a wild pitcher. Neither Ender nor Albies seemed to recognize that situation. Ender was ahead in the count 2-0 and swung at a pitch out of the zone. Yeah, he managed to get a run in, but he could/should have waited for a better pitch. Albies goes up and check swings at the first pitch he sees and fouls out to 3rd. In effect, both Ender and Albies took the pressure that was firmly on the pitcher's shoulders and said "here, allow me to take that pressure off your shoulders for you, you poor thing." The point is, just because you're good doesn't mean you can't be better, and just because you're hot doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of situations. I don't know what is controversial about that. I think it was pretty obvious that this was exactly what happened yesterday.

it's all the Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift music I would watch it if I were you. You are already on double secret probation. Next step is being relegated to the "meat sweats" bored.

I wouldn't call it trolling but when you post 8 different songs that all last 3-5 minutes within the span of a 1:30, it's hard to imagine you are listening to all of them! Although I have little doubt you do listen to Taylor Swift... In fact, I think you may dress up like her and sing her songs for your friends.

Sometimes I post 4-5 videos within a few minutes but I just listened to them over a 30-45 minute period. I always assume the same is true with jah.
