Why did he leave?
statheads were right about the Braves offense and he got upset

Not the reason. The "statheads" acted like total ****heads toward him at every moment they could. Yeah, thethe was too much of a homer at times but he didn't deserve the treatment he got.
What treatment? I don't remember anything malicious aimed directly at him. Just some indirect mocking of the whole mantra in the name of humor. We do that about everything.

Not malicious? Cy, you don't remember directly insulting him and calling him stupid? There were barbs from various other posters every single day. Yes, most of it was indirect but it was malicious in nature so don't give me that it was in the name of humor. If I was in his shoes I would have done the same as him and left.
Malicious? These are words on a message board. He was at the forefront of the posibraves so to speak and constantly talked about abou the lack of strikeouts would be a revelation in run scoring, how certain players last year were a joke offensively, and so forth. And when a lot of that blew up in his face you would expect a good about of ribbing.
A little ribbing is okay. Constantly 24/7 it gets old. Try to show some empathy and look at thethe's POV. Becoming the butt of people's jokes is humiliating. It's not cool to do that to somebody.

I was surprised because after a while thethe actually embraced the jokes. Like whenever we'd make jokes about Neck lifting weights in the offseason. Thethe actually ran with the jokes himself.
