Well, I'm just glad the streetball legend is posting here.

Thicken your skin.

You're going to get called out, criticized, etc., often times for no good reason at all. Sometimes just because someone happens to be in a bad mood or wants to fuck with you. And since you're on a board full of writers, when some of the best of them gets their dander up, they can use words to cut you like a surgeon.

Show you have some backbone. Just like on the playground, the ones who are bothered by teasing become a magnet for more teasing. So don't get riled.

That said, pick the right times to unthicken your skin for a good rant, its good entertainment for everyone!

Also, be open to the idea that every opinion you have isn't owed respect. That's true for everyone, including myself. Be prepared to accept or least give a nod to an opposing view before you go off half-cocked on your own opinions.

To wit, for me? I like simple pleasures. Like "butter" in my ass, "lollipops" in my mouth, the St. Louis Cardinals. That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy.

Doesn't make me right, doesn't mean the field isn't open to criticism.

I have liked the St. Louis Cardinals, circa early August to now.

I liked the strategic adding of quote marks myself.

The great Jenna Lane came in like a house on fire, ruined a guys life and left.

To be fair, when I first started here, I was the same way. I thought I knew it all, I was not afraid to speak my 22-year old mind the way I had on other boards and didn't get the difference between this site and every other one on the internet, where I could be my cocky, arrogant, slightly racist self.

Then I caught hell on each and every thread I posted on.

Now, I feel like people respect me and my opinions a lot more than they did in the past. I feel like the posters here value my opinion on topics that I have displayed a bit of knowledge on (TV and wrestling mostly) and, for the most part, I feel the people here understand my humor now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure everyone still thinks I'm a douche but at least now they consider me "their douche".

Wait..how the hell did you ever get the idea that anybody here was starting to respect you?

Man, I wish somebody had done this for me when I first started out on here....Mostly because I know I'd have told y'all where you could stick your advice and if the thread somehow survived, it would be funny too look back on now.

When you first started? You'd do it NOW.

Oh, no doubt. Just comparing to when I was in his place as a newbie.

I still hate you.

But I'm a Mariners fan!

And OOP, I like the added emoticon. It's like you're saying "I'm going to insult you harshly but it's all better because I put a smiley face."
Click to expand...

Not better. Just my way of saying that I am saying it with a smile. Maybe that means I'm just teasing. Maybe that means I enjoy insulting you harshly.

Which thread should we use to tell him it's not necessary to post on the baseball thread so much?

I think he might give Moddy a heart attack.

He actually gives Moddy a few chuckles. And he's given me a whole new way of looking at the worthlessness of that no-count, no-walking Michael Morse. The nerve of Morse winning two straight games with home runs. SHOW SOME DISCIPLINE! Take a walk.

Based on the HS football thread, IJAG's kind effort aside, I don't think this thread is working.
