You guys are so decent

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I just realised that fans here on Baseball-Fever are the most decent and respectful people on the net.
I was on a hockey forum (that has 10 times the members here) and they are so critical of everything anyone says. They swear, they just don't like people.
They're always in a bad mood.

A couple of days ago I published an article about a hockey team (Ottawa Senators) on this forum. And all of a sudden all the members were ranting and disagreeing and ''yelling.''

I am thankful that you aren't like this.

Sorry to belie that theory, but I'm moving this to the Web Improvements forum, since it's about BBF itself, rather than baseball.

Please forgive. :)

wilkerson_rulz: You are so right! I only joined BBF in mid-February and my experience has been the same as yours. Especially in debates where BBFers personify "Let's disagree without being disagreeable"! Brownie31

this site is good at being nice and letting people no not to do things they shouldnt (in a polite mannor) But beckett.com people are extreamly rude to new comers that are unfamilier with the frorum

Thanks. My good side shows up once every other year or so. :D :p :waving

Yes Steve, I have said this before also. I am also a member of NYYfans.com, you can guess it, a Yankee fan site.

But it is the same overthere. I once commented that it is not good for baseball if the Yankees win it all every year. The reactions were mostly like: "I don't care about other teams, I only care about the Yankees" or "are you crazy" (O.K. I must admit, I am :laugh :waving).

So you may understand that I hardly visit that site anymore.

[RedSoxVT92]

This is the best site on the web. There are intelligent disscussions with great info on the site. I only joined this month and I know im gunna stay here for a long time. Great site.

Stop wasting our time with this crap and talk some baseball, you moron.

HA! Just kidding. :laugh

Not me, but a couple guys fished it out and have it hanging in their office or home or something like that.

I would have someone from the crew would have scooped it when they discarded it.

I am new to this site also. I love the place. I have been getting along famously, with the exception of the time I dug up an old thread...there are some great folks on here, with much knowledge about Baseball.

Go Senators !

I don't have that much experience with other forums, but out of about 10 or so other baseball forums I've checked out I think BBF is by far the best, with MLB Center being it's only close rival.

I agree. The members here on BBF are very intelligent and articulate. It seems to me members on other sites have more chatty jabber and less intelligent discussion.

How would you rate the SABR discussion and statistical analysis here? Something to your liking, compared to other sites?

Golly gee, ah shucks. We are nice people, aren't we? But don't think we aren't feisty too. Mods must constantly stop the rock throwing, mud slinging and keep the crazies out. Full time job really. But its worth it to have a nice place to talk good baseball.

Here's an excellent example of people trashing my article on a hockey team that I posted on their forum
Amazing.

You guys are the complete contrary.

Some idiot on the net found my blog and...

http://www.coloradoavalanche.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=25043&sid=bbdedb52b3d3aad9de99e1082dd7cd4c

Just to show you the contrast between the intelligence of BBF compared to the idiocy of hockey fans. (Myself included:crazy )

[Sultan_1895-1948]

This is the best site I've ever come across for baseball discussion. It's got the most knowledgable posters around, who can dabble with serious issues, as well as light hearted ones. There are a few knuckleheads that show up from time to time, but because the quality of the majority is so high, those guys stick out like a sore thumb and are dealt with accordingly. Another cool thing is the participation of younger posters, who appear to be wise beyond their years, and when they do show their youth, older posters don't bash them for it. So I agree with site being "so decent." Wow, what a warm, fuzzy post. :)

[2Chance]

Usually I resist the urge to enter a discussion in which I have nothing constructive to add. But in this case....

"Yeah. What they said."

This IS the greatest Sports site on the web.

Everyone here is decent except maplesyrupman because he makes fun of people for poor grammar even though they have only been learning english for around 4 years and French is there first language.

Hey, I apologized for that! I had no idea you were not an English speaker! I just thought that it was a little hypocritical of you to call people "dumb" when you had made numerous errors in your post. So you were the one who started it. I never made fun of you, I just said that if you were going to call people dumb and insult their team, then you should at least make sure you sounded smart while doing it. (Not that you're not smart, of course.). Just to cover it, I'll apologize again:

My sincerest apologies. I had no idea you didn't speak English as a first language.

I had just been sick that whole and I was in an extremely bad mood, because I had missed three baseball games.

You're calling him an AH certainly wasn't the best way to handle it. ;)

I'll admit, I did deserve it. :o :o :o I was definitely being a jerk, although I didn't know English wasn't his first language. On another note, I'd say the least decent member here would be NOMAR22. Frequent rehashing of 3-year old threads and adding comments such as "are you on crack" does not make me think highly of you.

I've done some things to deserve being called that and I made the mistake of doing it myself once, but I was wrong to do it no matter how I thought I was being offended.

I learned my lesson; I'm sure he has as well.

It happened in the Manager vote off game but he apologized. I was kind of out of line, sorry for that.

[catcher24]

Just to reiterate what most posters on this thread have said. Baseball Fever has become a vast sinkhole on the net for putting my time into - and I wish I had more time to put into it! Most posters are intelligent and more than willing to share their knowledge and experineces. When disagreements do arise - which occurs regularly - they are normally handled in a friendly manner. A very enjoyable site which has brought me to the verge of divorce!:o

[Yankeebiscuitfan]

Just look at post 5437 in the Bitter Rivals thread. I wonder if you guys still think that this is a decent site...:laugh :D

Except I have to use Cary's, less sugar. Maple syrup on sweet potato, yams, and warm blueberry muffins.:D

Not only did Yankee bring out the cross, garlic, and a stake, he said I and other RSox fans were not pure of heart. Specifically, he said we had "lost our innocence". Now, how does he know that is a fact?:rolleyes:

If you lose your innocence by supporting the team that won the WS, it would suggest that YFans are the opposite of innocent. :eek:

Of course, the way to correct this is to stay out of the WS. Penance may be done by supplying RSox fans with tickets, cash, dark chocolate, and liquor. Oysters(Wellfleet) and butter are acceptable, too.

I have never said that we are innocent. Of course we aren't. I have lost my innocence when I saw the Yanks win in 1996.

Tickets for what? Peanut league perhaps. I'll ask Matt. He probably knows were to buy them in Boston... :waving :waving Liquor? Tea will do. You guys spoiled a lot of tea a couple of years ago during some party! What a waste was that. And now your asking us to replace that waste????

Never tried it on sweet potato or yams. Surprisingly, it's good on cold pizza too.

Oysters and the occasional lobster or crab are the only seafood I can eat.:( :(
It's especially hard living on Cape Cod, where you get a seafood restaurant every block and a half.
