team based.  Here it is always in the back of someone's mind the other guy's politics - and extremists abound. 

I am sorry that "always in the back of" your mind "is "the other guy's politics," but you are surely right that extremists abound. Your political opinions have nothing to do with my reactions to your sports posts.

Tell you what, Kid... if you stick to talking about events and opinions about them and the individuals involved in those events, but not opinions of the other posters, I will stick to that with regard to you.

Same offer to all other posters.

And I hope you find what you are looking for on SoSH or elsewhere.

You folks have consistently come out against any such strictures here.

And trolling is a frowned upon and will get a poster banned.

As will stalking or doxxing someone 


Except I've never actually done what you're accusing me of doing.

We could have discussed that further and proved it, had you not chickened out when challenged to meet in person.

You have done and/or threatened to do all of that.

And your belief that meeting in person could have proven anything is part of the problem.

It couldn't and wouldn't.

Back to baseball...

Opinions about the winner of tonight's game? Or any particulars?

Honestly I am at time ashamed to be brought down to the level of this forum

I miss the NY Times - where there were posters who nudged - but conversation was possible.  If anything the rough banter was team based.  Here it is always in the back of someone's mind the other guy's politics - and extremists abound.  And fresh slates are unavailable when dealing with most.  Sadly so.  But here we are.

Anyway - fresh slate on SOSH.  I will try to get there some.

Kid why don't you join a right wing white supremacist NY Mets/Giants/Knicks forum?

A place where you can share your common values and beliefs and insane conspiratorial theories with like minded morons?

Why would you want to join a forum that largely is the polar opposite of how you define yourself on line?

Hey, kid. Do you ever hear from any of the old Mets NYT and Elbanese Forumites, like Rick(Bloomy) and Lenny and Lisa, etc?

I Met Rick a few times, and played golf with both he and Lenny, but that was a long time ago and I think Lenny died, since.

I know you met Rick. He spoke highly of you.

Nah.

But those guys were great.  We met up at the old ESPN zone in Manhattan one time  and also did a Mets vs Giants playoff game.  It was the Bobby Fresno Jones 1 hitter.

I also met a Red Sox guy in Houston at some point.

I imagine you do.

And they probably provide a fertile source of misinformation for the feeble-minded.

btw, what's your new handle on SoSH?

addendum

Erik Frank did become a good friend - but havent seen/spoken to him in a while.  Erik was in the original GGHF fantasy league, now 20 years and strong.

Kid that's the point. If you post in your recognizable manner, you will be booted PDQ.

Newbies with no game and a bad attitude don't have a long shelf. 

But if you're shy, want to lurk, and don't wish to introduce yourself, that's your choice.

You're almost right.

I'm 95% convinced you can't spell IQ.

Not sure who you think you are talking to

As I said - I was already there some time ago.

Kid as far as I'm concerned when I'm addressing you, I'm talking to a liar and a fool.


I've no idea if you ever posted on SoSH, nor do I care.

But if you did, it has changed over the years, and newbies with no game and just idiotic hot takes have short life spans.

Heh

I'll be fine there - thanks for the concern

If you haven't seen me post what you would consider content that would pass SOSH muster (cough) in a while it is due to the company kept here, nothing else.
