Should someone be banned from the boards?

Can I change my vote?

instead of banning him,

Id like to just be able to take the gloves off without the consequence of moderation and locked thread;

Mssr. Strether's end game when he loses is to report a post and attempt to have it locked or removed.

If he can get a post removed by some process, what is it? The same avenue seems logical to just removing him. I used to love to read the SOM boards, SOM and BB talk... now it's just filled with his crap and responses.

BBfan, If you, or anyone, have any problems with any of my posts, please re-post any of them to me and point out what particularly bothered you. If I did anything harmful, I will apologize. Until then, it would be polite not to refer to my posts as "crap." That's the type of behavior people have been complaining about.

If you can't support your allegations against me, you're just gossiping about me. It would be better if you focused on SOM and baseball.

This is tiring. Why do you feel you need to engage everyone? To prove how smart you are? Let go of the BS and stick to baseball. That is why we are all here. If you need to show off your "debating prowess" I'm sure there are plenty of other forums for that.

I'm not engaging anyone. They won' t let go of this bs, not me. They came on a baseball forum only to talk about me. They keep saying negative things about me, and I respond. What would you do?

The moment people stop focusing on me, we can go back to talking baseball. So, talk to the people who won't do that, not me.

P.s. I'm glad you think I have debating prowess...

Well, I'd ignore them. Be the "bigger man" and stop fueling the fire. It will go out.

I'm already the bigger man since I didn't start the fire. You're Italian like me, Steve; there's no way you would let people continually badmouth you in public and say nothing. i wouldn't believe that for a second. i don't teach my kids to do that; I certainly won't do it myself.

So, again, if you want the fire to stop, talk to those people continually badmouthing me instead of discussing baseball. Their obsession with me is obviously more important to them.

Im still confused about something-

in psychology what is the term for a person who insists its everyone else starting trouble?

and not only is it everyone else, its also in multiple forums.

Ill say it again, MOST of these people do occasionally disagree-
Have NEVER seen this much antagonism towards one individual from such a multitude of people with the sole exception being the person who created racist team names a number of years ago.

I can't read Salty's post since he's on my foe's list. I do, however, see that he posted and proved my point to Steve. Some pathetic people would rather pursue their obsessions with me than talk SOM or baseball.

If anybody else would like to join poor, lonely Salty in doing that, knock yourself out. I'm going back to discussing baseball and SOM; that's what actually interests me. I'm done with this thread.
