An ego run amuck,
places a bullseye upon the shoulder,
increases defiance to bolder,
and generally finds its holder...
a schmuck!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat was once said about me. I think what happens is a group of people get together and agree with each other and the poster they don't happen to agree with at the time is said to be infecting the forums. I call it the gang mentality.
@Duchess64
For the love of God. Do you infect every forum you post in?!

@very-rusty saidThis thread went off the rails when Duchess slammed Wolfe for writing "it's" instead of "its." There is no "gang mentality" working against her just because we happen to disagree. She is a vindictive and hateful individual who does indeed infect the forums. Feel free to come to her aid if you support her position.

I understand what you are saying and not that you are wrong, but when a bunch of you go after one person, it appears to be more malice than playful to me.
There is a little group of you and you know who you all are who stick together and back one another up on everything said in here.

@very-rusty saidSurely a sports forum should be free of such nonsense?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOK.

I hear ya.
Loud and clear.
@very-rusty saidOle Rusty, always so caught-up in RHP seniority and status: There's plenty to be said for hanging onto that twig, but I'll hold my fire for now. 😀 😉
Nice to see you do listen to someone with a little influence over you! 😉

So anyway, I hear that Spring Training fans have been booing the 'Stros wherever they play. Serves the Astros right.
But, at some point, it'll be nice to just get back to playing the game. Authentically. 🙂
