I joined this site over 14 years ago. It probably puts me pretty high on seniority list. At the time, I chose the Fire Dan Gladden moniker as a joke, albeit an honest one. I have not paid much attention to it until relatively recently…

I do not know Dan Gladden. My opinions on him are strictly as a radio personality. Do I think Dan Gladden is a solid radio voice? No. Do I want the Twins to replace him? Yes. As a color guy he is tolerable. As a play-by-play, he is lost and has shown no improvement over his extended time on the radio. I make no apologies for this opinion and own it every time I am asked.

Do I consistently comment on the fact I think he should be gone? No. Does it drive every comment, every post, every response I make? No. Do I use it as fuel to be hostile, negative, and belligerent in my views on this site? Nope.

Discussions with posters on TD typically lead down one of two paths:
A) Respectful discourse that typically allows both sides to air their points and agree to disagree.
B) Disagreements where one side turns the attack personal; calling names and using questionable adjectives. Enough to show true colors, but not enough to get booted from the site.

To the handful of posters that have attempted to use the “Fire Dan Gladden” moniker against me when they have no other coherent points to make, I have removed that option from your arsenal. Best of luck in the future.
