Executive Order #666, Enscheff

[NinersSBChamps]

I fear we have all let Enscheff's style get in the way of proper decorum on the board. I suggest we all tone down the inflammatory rhetoric a bit.

Agreed.

We could also just post messages in the proper forums too. I am guilty as well.

Scheff is a bit of a smartass but he brings a different variety to the board.

He'll be missed.

I actually look for enscheff's posts when he's actually discussing stats or players. He has good insight into stats and player values. It's the putdowns and bickering that gets a bit much.

He's gone from the main boards for two days. He's not dead.

Meh, good posters aren't posting or are coming here less largely because of him. He's a smart guy but the personal jabs are almost non-stop with him, it gets really old. Frankly he's a bit of a bully.

It's the internet, big deal not like he takes personal shots at least i dont think he does anyway.

This. This board would be better off without him. There are plenty of intelligent posters who have similar data driven opinions who refrain from personal attacks like thewupk, gilesfan, and sturg that we don't need someone who has no time to debate others with different perspectives with respect.

[Knucksie]

He was never this extreme over there. He took it to a whole new psycho level once he started posting here.

Will have to take your word. As soon as somebody invited him here, it was instant ignore. Still, some of the banter got through with quotes posts. Will confess that the casino storyline was rather interesting!

You can still be respectful even though it's on the internet - this whole idea that 'it's just the internet - so treat people however you want to' is misplaced imo. And I think he takes lots of personal shots, every time CLV writes something he takes a shot at him.

None of this offends me - I spent 9 years in submarines - im very used to big talk, trading insults, jabbing at people --- hell that all people do when the sub goes underwater.

But when it starts to dominate every other thread the board isn't as readable and when good posters start leaving or not posting as much because of it - that's a problem. IMO this board was better when there was a lot less of that, and certainly Enscheff isn't SOLELY responsible, but people are kidding themselves if they don't think he's one of the bigger issues.

You have got to be kidding.

I agree with this. Tired of the constant bickering so I wish it was longer.

My only beef with the guy is that he refuses to be corrected or accept a different viewpoint as plausible. Instead, everything turns into an insultathon. For the most part, I think he brings some perspectives to the board that are helpful in the discussion on player value and possible moves.

Tried to tell you all, but nobody listened. This behavior isn't new or recent. The dude was obnoxious over 10 years ago over at Scout. Too many other people indulge him here, which just encourages more of it.

10 years and hasn't grown up at all. Yikes.

He's terrible at predicting ops. I should be ashamed betting such an inferior baseball mind, but I'm not... candy from a baby and such

Lol

[Tapate50]
