With all due respect, I believe that you are incorrect as to both of your points. First, if you carefully read this thread you will see that there was no problem with talking about prior posts. The problem arose when the member who was defending his position elected to tell his detractors to go search the archives for proof that he was accurately characterizing his past posts. That was disruptive and disrespectful. If you read the thread, you will see the bickering that ensued. Please be advised that when a discussion devolves into bickering, action by a moderator is likely to result. Second, there is no policy against rooting for an ex-Twin to do well against the Twins. If there was such a policy, then I would have deleted some posts and closed the thread. What I did instead was suggest that anyone offended by the thread refrain from visiting the thread instead of engaging on this point. Third, openly wishing for the Twins to lose a game would be inflammatory trolling, and such a post would violate the policy against trolling. In my view, this thread has received a lot of latitude. Personally, I enjoy "heated" debates so long as they are respectful. But when a debates devolve into bickering that becomes more about personal attacks than baseball, this crosses the line of both the letter and spirit of TD policy.
