One of my favorite threads as a newbie was discovering the SportsJournalists.com style guide. What a great thread and historical repository of SportsJournalists.com hilarity. I would not have become a registered poster and would have remained a lurker had it not been for the style guide. That thread is not a "top sj moment" but it is a hell of an index to the good old days of top moments. And what an effort by its creator. Too bad that a lot of the posters from those earlier times have stopped posting.

The Big Ragu said:

Jesus. I wasn't "coming after" anyone. I was responding to something you had just posted.

You posted that the guy figuratively pissed in your ear.

My response was that a it's a message board--if you really view any exchange on a message board that way, I think you need to get a grip.

Your post in response suggests you think I pissed in your ear, too.

Do you even read the posts you respond to, Ragu? Or do you just look for another excuse to rant about whatever is on your mind?

Actually, don't bother. Anybody who pays attention knows it is the latter.

I explained the expression to you. It's just a way of saying somebody is full of shit. You either didn't read the explanation or you are incredibly dense.

An argument resurrected from 2008?
This thread has some potential.

Bless you.

I read that and thought, "There was ever a time when that was considered a subset?"

dooley_womack1 · Oct 20, 2013

That'd be like me and Torri being considered a subset. That's the newbie I welcomed to the board, and she responded by tearing my head off.

You'd be surprised how many members don't know better, including some who should. To be fair, I think that got uglier after Creamora ran away.

I don't know how I missed the BYH guide. Thanks! I now have 26 pages of an old thread to read, which will be more fun than a lot of argumentative current threads.

Meh, who would keep that around?

Six people have sent it to me. Thank you to all of them... The fact that that many people have kept it more than a decade after it came out proves what a masterpiece it is.

Versatile · Oct 21, 2013

Post it here. I've never read it.

I don't know why this would be a guarded secret. Using what Boom_70 posted, I found it via a Hank_Scorpio repost.
