also teach kids to not say suck?

but it seems like it because we’re losing so much.

is dropping. Most adults don’t need to be warned about their behavior, but even those that do typically heed the warnings and change their behavior. It really does seem like there is just a lot of juvenile arguments going on. If you go back and read some of these arguments, it definitely seems like they could be junior high students, in which case it would make a little more sense and also be somewhat of a relief if it really was junior high kids.

rather than have articles about how to post within SN Nation you should do a front page post of how to use the “Cancel” button…

There have been 3, maybe 4 people in my history of lurking and posting here that I absolutely could not stand, and shockingly enough, most others couldn’t either. Two of those people are no longer here. I fully understand your call for civility when someone like myself, or someone else, tells someone to shut it in so many words, but your call for civility should be tweaked, or at least be issued far sooner than that, for the person that is instigating things.

By your own request, you want people to not say things here that they wouldn’t say around others, or at least step away if they feel the need to lash out. Ok, fine. Well exactly how does any of that apply to the actual cause of the mess? I mean, why do you think you keep needing to call for people to be civil? It’s not a coincidence. People shouldn’t say things that they wouldn’t say around a group of other fans. Sure, fine. That goes beyond calling someone out. That also counts for someone being a jerk trying to bait someone into a fight. That person also wouldn’t be a part of the “group”.

I actually find TJ’s posts humourous, even if ridiculously repetitive. It is mostly when a person or group of people attack each other and nitpick their postings to death that it really is embarassing. A little snark here and there, some wit, and some dumb posts are all okay occasionally. But the people who follow each other around bashing at every chance they get just seems over-the-top juvenile to me.

You know what would stop my rantings on the Cubs?

Them actually winning!!!!!!! That would solve it!!!!!

Instead of keeping a team together that sucks like Hendry does wants to do…

Try looking at the real issue….The Cubs organization….

You need more cowbell.

The only positive thing I can say about this bad Cubs season and the people here though, is that if the Cubs weren’t this awful, we would never have known Shoemile was a creepy vampire puppet without legs, and that his dad, Nunya, is actually Charlie Weis.

I know I’m probably considered a “kid” here, but I feel like I haven’t done anything disrespectful to BCB, or I hope I haven’t

The “kids” thing is just odd.

And that the only logical thing is that the childish behavior is coming from actual kids. While that probably isn’t the case, it should make those childish posters stop and think if they are indeed the ones behaving like children.

watching a guy in the futures game I umpired about 7 years ago

She realized today that she never rebelled as a teenager. So as a last chance I asked her to dust the living room. She got the joke and said “no”. I asked her to cook dinner and she forgot she was supposed to rebel and did it. She’s too good to be true.
