    Of course he gets it and everyone else, but his approach to statistics and analyses is better than some baseball organizations, we can't miss that. I love them and gravitate to those opinions. He never retaliated when I told him he was being that way because deep down he knows I am right.

    I believe in Sav to reel him in because I hate giving him razor cuts each time he insult a poster for just giving their opinion.

    Sadly we live in a world where words and thoughts easily trigger people

    No, that's blaming the wrong party. He needs to calm the **** down and act like an adult. His poor treatment of people is as obvious as his skill as an analyst.

    One thing that would perhaps help is if, when people respond to him, they hit "reply" instead of "reply with quote." Then the ignore feature actually works.

    There is blame on both sides of whatever petty arguments you have. Plenty of times he has been attacked for no reason other then posting facts that disagree with someones opinion.

    This is partly true... however, the attack is pretty much always about the mockery that accompanies the "facts," and rarely about the facts themselves.

    There should be a poll, posted on the main forum, for a week.

    The voting/results should be private.

    After that, I think the community consensus will be obvious.

    Good idea, as long as the poll includes several options, including loving the information and analysis, but not the delivery. If the poll is a straight up support or not, it would not work. The problem is far more nuanced than that.

    His post about stats is crack, I can't get off that, they are too good.

    His insults are like sour milk but I need that crack more.

    He just needs to act like an adult instead of an immature teenager and all would be good and I believe in Sav and Cy in reeling him in.

    Thanks for the laugh. I even bring up post number when someone or he said didn't start it.

    Stick with the facts, Dan.

    Just ignore me or don’t respond to me. If you get this upset over what a stranger posts on a message board you have just as many issues as you claim I have.

    Or ban me and let this board be nothing other than a huge circle jerk. Whatever.

    But for crying out loud, stop complaining all the time like a bunch of snowflakes.

    And to be completely frank, I’ve asked numerous times for an analytics section to be added to these boards. If such a place existed I would never even bother coming to the casual sections. You guys could engage in all the derrrpalytics and ignorant scouting analysis you want, and feel free to pat each other on the back endlessly for making lists of players

    The mods add all sorts of silly sub forums that get zero traffic. Why not add one that will actually be useful to split up discussion into like-minded topics?

    I would like to second this idea
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    That was pretty much my idea for SAV the other day in the staff forum.

    This.. the last thing I want is this place to turn into is Reddit.. I will go there to do my circle jerking.. I will always be a pozzie.. but the diversity here is what makes me continue to pay these outrageous fees..

    I do. The Albies flyball thread is a perfect example. Gov clearly didn't know what he was talking about, posted stats that he didn't understand when trying to desperately be right, and gets called out on it.

    There are other examples as well if you look hard enough.

    SAV has created subforums for him on multiple occasions and nobody posted on them.

    For example, the "Pessimists" and "Optimists" forums were created the last time there was backlash.

    Some people want to share knowledge. Some people want to tell others they are smarter. You guys decide what's happening here.
