    There really is no reason to attack someone personally because you don't like their opinion. Way back when I first joined at NSBB, the #1 rule was "attack the argument, not the poster" but somewhere along the way that fell by the wayside. You know, the same could be said for someone who engages in personal attacks--- if you really feel that negatively about what is said, either put the poster on ignore or find someplace else to post. That works both ways. From my vantage point, it seems that more often that not, when someone like Mojo cuts down a foolish post, he does it scathingly but without a personal attack. But the original posted gets all vulnerable and defensive, and THEY tend to be the ones who make it personal. Case in point - one poster offered an opinion that the majority disagreed with, and the most vocal of them hurt his feelings (without getting personal). This person lashed out and started calling people jerks and elitists and sheep and now the thread has gone to hell. While I don't disagree that things like what you've stated do happen, you can't deny that a lot of times an unpopular opinion is met with either a personal attack or some sort of snide comment aimed at someone (but does not name anyone in particular) that's sort of an "under the radar" personal attack. Nope, I can't deny that. But I do believe that my scenario above happens more often than not.

    Word. In fact, a lot of that snarkiness drives away people who really had nothing of value to contribute, anyway.

    Wish I could have watched that one. Elite 8 team gone
  7. javy knows my name
    Well that really has nothing to do with the discussion. um, there were like 3 posts critiquing his comments to the investigator. Yes critiquing him for being a blatant liar about the weather. Then you created some exaggerated nonsense that doesn't even fit. you're not making any sense. Your face doesn't make sense

    I think what should really be taken from this whole thing is, if you're going to espouse uninformed baseball opinions on a really progressive message board, you need to grow a thicker skin or find more like-minded people. I think it's really funny when people get flamed for espousing unpopular opinions in the face of solid evidence to the contrary and then complain about the "message board bullies." If you're going to be annoying and consistently contrarian, you need to either get used to being made fun of (a la Kyle and Erik) or leave.

    I wasn't excited about Buzz' hire a few years ago, but I'd be pretty bummed if he left. Why would he leave for Arkansas, though?
  10. javy knows my name
    Carolina got a lucky draw? :-k Fortunate seed, fortunate geographical location. Really unfortunate probable second round opponent, though
  11. javy knows my name
    He's an HM for top-5 most punchable at this point. He'll make it if he does anything good for the Cards.
  12. javy knows my name
    Northwestern was more deserving than them and UAB probably
  13. javy knows my name
    I'm really glad Bama didn't get in. Anyone like Princeton over KY?
  14. javy knows my name
    I think you're being too diplomatic there. Disgusting.
  15. javy knows my name
    The southeast region is [expletive] GARBAGE
  16. javy knows my name
    Florida a 2. That is hilarious
  17. javy knows my name
    I love Belmont over Wisconsin there.
  18. javy knows my name
    Yeah, that's a nice matchup
  19. javy knows my name
    Hahaha that's a terrible draw for Mizzou
  20. javy knows my name
    WOW!! I'm actually really excited for PSU
  21. javy knows my name
    I LOVE OUR DRAW! I think Washington wins that pod
  22. javy knows my name
    I really don't like him. It doesn't help that he looks just like Telly from KIDS.. Hahaha oh my god I knew I recognized him from somewhere. Yeah, that's not exactly a feather in his cap. And I hate Sullinger with the fury of a thousand suns. Fat [expletive].
  23. javy knows my name
    I would love that draw for Marquette. Please let that happen exactly
  24. javy knows my name
    Marquette's the last 7 seed, so that means they might draw Wisconsin or BYU in the 2nd round? I'd actually be really happy with that.
