Jim Edmonds Fashion

Sure. I have no problem with that....... and I haven't called any of you jerks. On that forum, people took shots at Edmonds, and he took shots back. Fair enough. On this forum, some of you take shots at Edmonds, and I take shots in the opposite direction. Fair enough?

 

No, not fair enough. The rules of the board are pretty clear that you don't take shots at other posters. We're making fun of Edmonds, not you.

 

I haven't take shots at any other posters, have I? I'm simply giving an opposing view to the Edmonds opinions.

 

No, you're complaning that the orignal Edmonds opinion was made in the first place...ON A CUBS BOARD.

 

 

So? Like I said, do you want a board with no opposition? Is that the intent? Like I said, you don't want a board where a guy posts something, and everyone else says "Yeah, you're right". What's the point of that?

 

I think we have plenty of dissent around here. We have good discussions. What does grow weary is a Cardinal fan who mucks up threads because we made fun of his boyfriend. It's also worse when such poster decides to accuse others of being homophobic or whatever because they made fun of his boyfriend.

 

We have other Cardinal fans here who don't feel the need to jump in these threads and act like complete douches. I lurk at Cardinal sites as well as other places. If I see someone refer to Zambrano as a "head case" I rarely will even bother to defend him. It's pointless. If I did, I certainly wouldn't do it ad naseum.

 

If there was a discussion of best pitchers of all-time, I might offer my prespective...or even on other baseball related issues, but certainly I'd know that making disparaging remarks against the Cubs would be just part of the territory.

 

Giving your opinion is ok. I'm glad we have differing views, and in fact I have what I'd call some pretty good relationships with some of the other Card fans here. But you seem to argue just for the sake of it and frankly it gets old.

 

 

Then why participate? Aren't you fueling the fire here every bit as much as I am?

I'll make you a deal. I'll stay out of such threads on all Cardinal forums and you stay out of them here. You can join them all you want on ESPN and Cubs.com. In fact, if you agree, I'll even start an Edmonds is Gay thread once a week on Cubs.com so you can argue with those folks until your heart is content.

Do you realize you are whining about CUBS FANS ON A CUBS FANS MESSAGE BOARD MAKING FUN OF A CARDINALS PLAYER.

 

Isn't that what the "Rivalries" section is all about?

 

NO. Rivalries is a place intended for Cubs fans to talk about the Cardinals/White Sox/Astros etc. Fans of those teams are certainly welcome to join in, but they shouldn't complain if their team or favorite player is being made fun of.

Good grief. I live in Iowa (Cub territory), and most of my pals are Cub fans. They pick on me, and I pick back. If they implied that Edmonds was gay, I'd call them homophobes. They'd laugh and carry on. What's with you people?

 

Edmonds is a gay arrogant jerk. Is that what you want to hear. Do you feel better about yourselves now?

You forgot to mention that he's also a homophobe.

I'll make YOU a better deal. You participate on whatever message boards you choose, and in whichever threads you choose, confine yourself to the format and rules of whatever message board you're on, and try to stay on the high road (avoid name-calling, for starters). And I'll participate on the boards and threads that I choose (you can choose to read my stuff or ignore it completely). I'll ALSO agree to stay within the boundaries of the board monitors.

 

Makes sense, huh?

I'd even promise to register and let him ban me if they did.

We participate on boards. It's all civil.

[louisvillecub]

K-town (which is ironically what they should call wherever Edmonds is at any given time)

 

 

If I paid you $50 would you just GO AWAY?

 

Seriously, paypal, check, a jar of pennies, food stamps, whatever it is you like.

 

In all seriousness, will you just go away if I pay you?

 

Geez, I'll chip in too...

Who are you kidding dude, it would be pretty easy to find multiple instances of you being "uncivil" or taking shots at other posters. We probably wouldn't have to go past the first couple threads in this forum.

So what did everyone have for dinner last night? I had a cheese burger and some pretzels.

Haha, you seriously want that? Alright....

 

"I sense a little homophobia in the room."

 

"Cubs fans attacking Edmonds............ how original."

 

You don't even have to leave the thread for examples of you making things about the posters rather than the topic. I have class so I can't look through the longer threads at this point.

Nachos for me. I had a big lunch.

 

BTW, great forum you started. Can you take K-Town with you?

Portillo's bacon cheeseburger

Why am I not surprised to see K-town arguing in this thread? Good Lord man, get another hobby.

Grilled chicken breast sandwich, homemade fries. I drank a few too many beers at this company function I had to go to last night, so I was cooking just about everything we had when I got home.

Get another hobby? You have almost 5,000 posts here, for crying out loud.
