Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Yeah, if he can stay cool for another 4 days that would be fantastic. On the other side of the coin, I'm pretty fed up with your army of low-key good starting pitchers putting zeroes on the board. Yea, but the plan was to have all cylinders firing at once... I have a 12 Cylinder race car with like only 6 cylinders firing.. LOL
Beans Verified Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Am I the only one confused? lol, no, I didn’t understand anything he said there either... he might be inebriated. Spanky is still my favourite, though

Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Let's recap: You were upset about a post that had nothing to do with you. You were offended I might have offended someone else. We talked it out (5 pages worth). Then we established that the guy who you thought was offended is cool. Now it comes out that it is not really about that anymore. It is about you proclaiming yourself some totalitarian arbitrator of what posts are insufferable and that you have self declared your the purple Knight riding in here on a gigantic inflatable dildo that should crush out all insufferable posts (as judged by you). So a few things about adulthood in a free country and internet chat boards. If you don't like a post, and it is not violating any rules, ignore it. That's what adults do. What you are doing and have been doing is petty, it comes across petty, it is petty. All this today because I threw out a line to see if there would be any nibbles. It really comes across that you think you are some super duper poster and that you and like thinkers determine what is cool or not. That I am a lower type of poster and privileged to be here and I am lucky to be among such baseball internet Gods. Whether that is your intention or not, or perhaps you honestly don't realize it, I don't know. However that is 100% how it comes across in all your comments/attitude. This board was worried about driving people off and lack of active participants. It is not the politics thread and COVID threads that discourage new posters or drive people away it is attitudes that you purvey. Posters can stay out of politics threads and Covid threads. Very hard to stay out of baseball threads or fantasy threads on a baseball forum and if you want to participate in either or. Imagine some poor guy thinking of participating or joining the board reading this. Most do not have the thick skin I do. You and a few others already have some posters scared shitless about posting a baseball opinion or making a trade because they are worried they will get roasted by the know it all, baseball "God's" on here. The sad thing is those who have made some of these snide comments etc, have been proven wrong, time and time again. Their actions and snide comments certainly don't encourage a relaxed friendly atmosphere and have some posters on eggshells or paralyzed with fear. Maybe me being the Evil Empire is the motivation you need to compete in this Fantasy league or something. If that is the case, fine, we can do that and entertain the board. I get you don't like me either, fine. I leave you alone, if you are not able to leave me alone, and you insist on continuing with these petty posts/attacks, I think it is ridiculous, and says something about you that you can't just drop it , but I will not just bend over and I will always come at you like a Spider Monkey. Having said all that, I will still trade with you. Business is business All this over me fishing for a pick upgrade.. Insert roll eyes.. Too long to bother with, so it's insufferable again just on that alone. You'll get there. Also told you it wasnt the one incident but ongoing. You were one of the only Karen's in the thread about board changes who actually thought they needed to make a whiney rant. And I probably shouldn't even say this, but I can't ever imagine sending the guy an email crying about a post being deleted (don't deny it). At the end of the day, I'm mostly just playfully calling you out on little hypocrisies and stupid s*** you do. You take it so badly to heart and lash out with these unreadable essays because you know I'm right. All this because I said it was ridiculous to try and sell us on the value of 6th round picks. Dont go on the internet if you can't handle some lighting ribbing.

Well said Too many guys who haven't won f*** all thinking they're BJMB fantasy legends I also agree with your point that if we can't discuss politics and covid that we should be enforcing guys acting like douchebags too. What's fair is fair. If we want a happy little utopia then lets make it happen!

Too long to bother You know I'm right I've been through soooo many drafts that I know the perceived value of pick 104 These comments make you sound lame. Be better.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 This is gonna be good. But let's put it on hold until after the draft, shall we.

L54 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 This is gonna be good. But let's put it on hold until after the draft, shall we. We all cry about activity in the board leagues. We get a new active member and guys like to talk to him like he's retarded for trying to move up in the draft. He's active on the boards, sets lineups, makes trades, etc. Who gives a s*** if he's trying to grease somebody into getting a higher pick? Pretty sure Pendelton had zero conscience when he greased the trade he made a couple weeks ago.

This little spat started with some chirping that escalated from there. It happens.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 This is gonna be good. But let's put it on hold until after the draft, shall we. Seems like picks are slowing down anyway. Little jazz to break it up isn’t so bad

Pretty sure Pendelton had zero conscience when he greased the trade he made a couple weeks ago. Trying to use 6th round picks to move up into the top 60 and using a paragraph to explain their value is funny and cringey to me. There shouldn't be wrong with pointing that out. Trying to make that out like I'm being some fantasy baseball warrior is just a ridiculous over reaction- we all know 6th round picks are barely worth s***. That was all I was saying, and again I was speaking about a group and not just myself, plenty of people here who have been punting late round picks long before I was here. You seem to have some idea that I'm trying to drive him out of here? If you read the conversation I clearly said I wouldn't want to lose an active GM. It's an online forum, and I'm just responding to the posts the guy makes here. Not sure which trade you're referring to here, if it's this league than I would have done nothing more than sign off on it, JFL has handled all the trade talks of late.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 I will provide the correct takes on the recent debate: - Carlos Danger is a great owner and his presence in BORED has enhanced the league - Carlos Danger was inevitably going to be lit up by someone for his attempts to peddle his late round wares. The unwritten rules of advertising assets for sale in BJMB dynasty leagues: 1) If the player is objectively a complete s*** bag, don't try to sell them under any circumstances (think: Ryan Goins, Edinson Volquez, late round draft picks) 2) If the player has been picked up via free agency in the last week, there are almost no circumsances under which you can try to sell them. 3) If the player is borderline rosterable, you can make a single casual, almost disinterested post about how they're available if someone wants them (think: Anibal Sanchez, Stephen Piscotty) 4) If the player is actually good, you can mention their availability multiple times, but never insult people's intelligence by posting statistics demonstrating how good they are. A breach of any of these protocols will result in the offender being roundly mocked by at least one league member.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Perfectly handled. You guys seem to have a good Mod formula w/BTS bringing a little more alpha to balance the other Mods extra beta. I actually used to be guilty of trying to initiate trades by pumping up my asset and telling the person why, in detail, they should actually make the trade. In retrospect I can concede this is annoying af. Not the same as this situation but similar
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 These are the kind of conversations you share with your perverted uncle over a beer, not share on baseball forums. This board missed you so much. Thank you for deciding to grace us with your presence once again
