How to build a batting order...

Yes, if everybody always just got hits, scoring runs would be much easier. -
Should Plouffe Give Bruno #24?
10PagesOfClearBlueSky replied to 10PagesOfClearBlueSky's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
It matters to me. IT MATTERS TO ME. Didn't think it was an issue. Just observing that it would be cool to see Bruno wearing his old 24. Are message boards really full of people who somehow manage to be overly serious and completely absurd at the same time? Did you like the song, chiTwinsFan? I'm especially interested to know what SpiritOfFilmCriticDave thinks of it.... -

Glunn, It's surprising how good it is, isn't it? "I used to hate to hear my Dad complain, about the way the world had changed. Now I find that I'm doing the same, as the years go by..." -

Thanks, Dave, but I definitely think you've got me beat with the monumental: http://twinsdaily.com/sports-bar/5678-spring-breakers.html -
How's this one then, Sir? Any interest in this subject matter? Chaussures bateau d - Blogs - Minnesota Twins News & Rumors Forum

Wow. Didn't even say it was interesting. Just that it's something very tame that is still likely to be argued about. I look forward to characterizing how interesting your posts are, however, and tip my cap to you for finding something else to argue about.

If anything has been proven to me during my short time so far on this board, it's that everything, EVERYTHING, is worth arguing about.... Which brings me to my thread about #24.... http://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-talk/5679-should-plouffe-give-bruno-24-a.html

Should Plouffe Give Bruno #24?

The Mcguane book is called Nothing But Clear Blue Skies. It is very good. Actually, my name is a reference to a lyric from a song by a guy named Jeff Arundel. It's a beautiful song called "Harmon Killebrew". The lyric is "Harmon Killebrew, did you ever get my letter? Ten pages of clear blue sky..." I highly recommend it to Twins fans and people who shed a tear for days gone by. -
FrodaddyG. Yea, he gets real crazy and forces us to.... Ah, never mind.

Does it look weird to anybody else? Brunansky wearing 23 just doesn't look as awesome as it would to see him wearing 24. Plouffe has 24, and I understand that he probably prefers to keep it. I'm sure Bruno would be the last person to complain, but wouldn't you rather see the young guy defer to the World Series Champion on this one? Plouffe with 23 and Bruno with 24 would look great to me, and would make me like Plouffe even more than I already do. Then again, if it is superstition and Plouffe will feel more confident mashing with 24, then I'm sure Brunansky would insist on Plouffe keeping 24. And I would whole-heartedly agree.

Couldn't agree more. Especially the part about beige leather brogues being just as elegant and vital.

The confusion is my fault. Somebody asked what happened and who got banned. I answered "Fro".... And made up a crazy story to be funny. Glunn misunderstood and thought Fro was really "itstimetotakeit". Moderated my joke right out of here, and posted the warning. Sorry guys, didn't mean to draw the attention of the authorities....
-
Ugh. You destroyed such a funny joke.

.360 OBP or better. And he should bat 2nd.

Come on... Let me have this. With the whole.... You know..... Come on....

Not that it justifies hatred of women, because it certainly doesn't, but from what I can tell the dude's baby momma took off for fricking Alaska. I'm betting he was a little scarred and bitter from that relationship. And he probably turned to you guys to vent and interact with friends. And, true to message board form, you guys nuked him with every bit of information he was naive enough to share. My poor Russian grandmother always warns me about being too open and trusting. My older brother is in Alcoholics Anonymous, and he says I would fit right in with those over-sharers. Come to think of it.... His baby momma took off for Alaska. Safe to bet he was unhinged.
-
Clearly you are saying that members who would prefer a bit of moderation aren't true Americans.... Offensive!!
-
Clearly. He seemed unhinged and like the most awesome person ever, both at the same time. If the mods had a good sense of humor I would get banned for agreeing that he was unhinged.
-
You guys must have been intolerably mean to that 'itstimetotakeit' guy.... Makes me think I might have made a mistake in choosing my new best friends....

In the Northern Suburbs, we have Comcast and FSN Plus is 13 and High Def is 694.

True, Ashburyjohn. Though I think the analogy is a bit of a stretch. This is a message board. This is a thread that is discussing moderation of a message board. To call the conversation within it litter or graffiti seems a little harsh. I do take your point about "nobody forced you to come here" not being a very well thought out approach. Honestly, it seems like many people on this board are perfectly happy to claim somebody else is insulting, but then aren't willing to admit when they have been insulting themselves. There is recent controversy regarding another thread that I and a couple of other people participated in. The conversation may seem to get stuck in spots without resolution, and i can understand that being frustrating. I tried to tie it all up, even making an apology for what was perceived as belittling another poster. The fact that the other person wouldn't just say something to the effect of "I disagree with you but I appreciate the apology" seems strange. But you don't seem like the kind of dude who wants to hear any more about this, Ashburyjohn, so I'll quit bothering you with it.

I have never once been forced to click on a thread and read what it says. As for Brock and other moderators, that's why they get paid the big bucks....
-
Leaving it at that might be a good idea, because I think an explanation of irony would probably come across as condescending to you. You didn't respond regarding the ways that I actually did address your points, despite you saying I didn't. Also, and most arguably most damning, you didn't address the polite apology I offered for offending you. Strange... The only responses you have given me are to respond to things you perceive to be slights toward you, but none of the contrition or genuine attempt to clarify some of your concerns.
-
And--we're allowed to say "damned"? Damn, I would have been saying it this whole time.
-
I just explained what I meant with my post, and I think I did a good job of it. I even offered an apology. I think a lot of the problem is that other people don't just say they're sorry when somebody lets them know they've been offended. To me, that's self-policing in a positive and beneficial way. Not sure how that counts as semantics, but I'll take the deep breaths anyway, just for the yoga benefit.
