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..
