It’s clear one party has impulse control problems, despite otherwise great content. What’s not clear is why so many other posters let this impulse-control deficit remove their own abilities to be civil.
It’s really not that hard to ignore or make a joke out of, let’s be honest, pretty middling and toothless insults.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
The other subs tried to split the forums into pozzy and negi. That isn’t the issue.
Simply remove those sections and add an analytics sub forum. Call it BravesGraphs, or something someone more creative than me can come up with.
Most of things I post are done as a way to save some work for reference later. It allows me to link it in the future when appropriate.
Have I ever attacked you?
No.
Why?
Because you make intelligent and respectful posts, even when you disagree.
Most other posters get upset when someone points out that they are, in fact, stupid.
Why don't you just start a blog then?
Although definite no to "BravesGraphs".
****, I'll buy the domain and host it for you.
Because I don’t care that much.
What else will you buy for me though?
this could produce some interesting responses
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Narcan.
But seriously: You do care that much. And it would be an actually useful way for you to showcase your research.
Saying like you for crying out loud, you just don't need to go to insults. I love your posts until you do it.
you can restrain from that.
This is the problem right here. Pure arrogance. Who are you to determine what is intelligent or not? You have had your fair share of gaffes on here just as everyone else has had here. That doesn't give you the right to go into attack mode because you believe someone is wrong.
lol the “gaffe” you continually reference is me saying Snit deserves another chance now that he is armed with useful data.
Talk about Grasping at straws
There are other things. How about saying that the advanced hitters in AAA would give Allard trouble? WRONG! You have this idea that others should ignore your insults. You could also ignore others if you think they are wrong or act like an adult and show them where they wrong without the insults. That's not asking that much.
I said AAA hitters can crush 88-89 MPH fastballs.
I did not say he would struggle in AAA. Many pitchers with mediocre stuff handle AAA just fine.
Try again.
LOL! Go look at the context of what you wrote originally. You're trying to lie your way out of it. Msstate7 pointed out your mistake yesterday and you went mum.

I have consistently said I don’t think Allard will be much at the MLB level.
I never said he would struggle at AAA. I’ve seen way too many AAAA guys succeed at that level to say something like that.
At any given time there are 5-6 posters desperately trying to prove me wrong about something. I can’t answer them all every single time.
You’re trying too hard to find a time I was wrong. It’s an odd obsession to have. I get it though. The only chance you have to prove you’re not a complete buffoon is to show that I’m wrong as much as you are. Good luck with that.
You're still trying to BS you're way out of it. You may fool others but you don't fool me. I've been around too many people like you in my life and I can read you like a book. I still need to know why you can't ignore the "dumb" posters or correct them with civility.
Man, I do like to see Junior taking those walks.
You failed...just as I have before you

I did know what I was talking about. He feels that Albies should stop hitting so many fly balls. I don't. He insulted me repeatedly, I got fired up and told him to blow me. He can make his point and even educate me without being a dick. Instead he gets personal.
You're blaming someone for getting raped, blaming someone for getting t-boned in an intersection. The guy's an ass.
You and plenty of others are good with analytics without the arrogance and lack of civility. I'd have banned him years ago.
As for the sibforum for analytics, he says he'd never visit the "casual" board if there were an analytics board. Let's find out.
