  1. We went 3-3 against the O's in the regular season. We aren't leaving!
  2. I'm looking for it. If you find it first post it here. That was hilarious.
  3. It's telling that you think moderate language and tempered emotions (and my innate meekness) is vacuity aww-shucksness. Some of us are not still emotionally teenagers, you know?
  4. Which is great, because Semien has forgotten how to.
  5. Evan Carter HR ball knocked that fan down haha
  6. Good luck boys! Love to hear the phrase "With the Rays facing elimination..." Turn back the hands of time and let's get a vintage performance from pitch!
  7. I was going to ask why the neg and glad it's not for trying to correct the record and challenge an established narrative without upsetting folks. The question then is, what's fundamentally different from me, the big bad Animal Tobacco, and guys like Poe or Flatty or Ana or anyone else who dares to defy conventional wisdom, as it's accepted here, in a strident manner of speaking? Obviously something is different because everyone else is tolerated and/or suspended when lines get crossed, versus instabanned for merely sharing opinions. It's almost as if being inflammatory would be more acceptable. You can be meek and moderate and still own your beliefs (e.g. not be disingenuous and a troll).
  8. Not correct. I used chatgpt one time to source financial data on the Tesla thread that turned out to be wrong and I apologized for not fact checking before posting it. The one and only time. I only cite reputable (wsj, nyt, bloomberg, etc.) and have gotten tight on citations. I've never ridiculed someone about how they physically look. In fact I have a history of calling out the hypocrisy of those that do with "Huckabeef" and "Hot Wheelz". So it absolutely is the politics. Look at the Meritocracy thread on the CR right now and poe it up. He's putting forward a very conservative point of view, from his lived experience, and with an earnestness of valid belief and is being pilloried as a troll. The exact treatment my iterations get, no matter how moderate and careful I try to be with my language while still communicating a position that is a) in the minority and b) personally reviled by the regulars. Believe it or not there are different personas that post here that have different beliefs, experiences, and values. Having a different opinion that you despise is not being a troll. I'll say it louder for those in the back: Having a different opinion that you despise is not being a troll.
  9. Obsessed with outliving the witch hunt, I guess, sure. I'll plead guilty. But as I said, I just will keep my political opinions to myself and blend in on the other boards until some sort of sanity gets reintroduced. Not going on CR has actually been good for me anyways.
  10. What is your obsession with me? I have a new name, of course, but it's not even on your radar. You've even posrepped me. As long as I stay out of the Cloak Room, it seems like it's fine. But then I read where fattyflattie gets a timeout, versus a ban, and I'm confused. We both say things in political environments that upset folks, but are from a place of earnestness. Whatever, I've just come to terms that my flavor of political opinion is not tolerated and have resigned myself from engaging there.
