    I think there is someone on the site who started his own highly successful message board.

    That might be the route to go.

    I think this is right. Google bought it like in 2007, I believe.

    Blogger, WP or Tumblr are your best bets.

    First of all, take a joke. Jesus. Life isn't that serious. I try to keep a sense of humor about the "split" and our make believe land Internet "feud," but you seem to have some real, real anger about it. Frightening anger, in fact.

    Also, I just want to get one thing straight, Mark:

    I take it you would be perfectly fine with public outing of prior screen names on here? I take it that you consider that 100 percent in bounds? Because what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

    Bush league, man. Totally, totally bush league. I know you have an army of friends on here and the other place who'll migrate to this thread to start making "midwest values" and "plant" clips as a defense mechanism, but you know deep down that it's a rotten, unacceptable thing to do. You know it. And they know it.

    Good day, sir.

    I understand that "Mark" is beloved. I understand what I'm up against. But if you guys consider the act and not the people involved, and were honest with yourselves, I think you would admit that screen name outing is not fighting fair. It's not any more acceptable if he does it, because he is so well-liked, than if someone else did it.

    I can't believe "Mark McGwire" would do something like that.

    You must have him confused with someone else.

    It's a terrible thing, "Dick Whitman".

    Hmmm... I feel like saying Blogspot seems pretty good to me, but I've heard GREAT things about Wordpress, is almost off topic now.

    Wordpress is very powerful, but I guess that depends on how much you want to jump into the code.
