Would read again

Not to name any names, but I know that certain SSSers are so annoyed by his negativity and overall assholeness (yes) that they have removed themselves from the atmosphere entirely.
I don’t agree with this method either, but who really wants to spend their time “conversing” with a guy like this?

I agree with U-Q…we should just let him talk to himself and carry on the conversation as though he were but a fly in the room.

We are all Sox fans – but most of us can keep our cool even when (gasp!) they are not playing well. And we certainly don’t resort to picking on other posters just cuz.

despite the fact that said poster tried to come back to at least one of the sites (maybe both?) under a different alias. That’s all kinds of funny (or maybe just one).

there are a few people who do nothing but comment negative shit and bitch and moan about anything that goes wrong. ssh actually does some good on this site, too. he’s basically linking most of the stuff that wiz used to, which is nice because i have no interest in scouring the internet for sox-related news. it’s good to have it all under one umbrella.

i had thought of maybe making a hate fanpost where anyone could go during a game (or whatever) and just vent whatever shit was on their mind, but i doubt our most negative posters would use it. they would probably rather have an audience to bitch at than just get things off their chest. i wish there was an easy solution, but i haven’t got one.

but since it’s always the same things over and over it would probably only need to be done once.

save perhaps Cheat.

recommended fanpost?

The groupthink on this site is bad enough without some sort of organized censorship movement. Fine, put him on ignore, although I’m not sure the technical feasabilty of incorborating such a feature into the heavily customized PHP for Sports Nation blogs.

But lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater here. Blogs are great because they have no barriers to entry and everyone can put their opinion out there no matter how irrational, over the top, meanspirited, etc. Chatter is just time spend online anyways, is anyone seriously pretending that this is some righteous and rigorous outpost of logic and sensability?

No, and of course if it was, it probably wouldn’t get so many page views. SSH contributions to this site are fine and well and good. Leave him alone. “A Bold Idea” — seriously, get the fuck over yourself.

In 2008 some fan of some sports team uses the adjective “bold” to describe his fanpost where he anonymously suggests censoring a fellow fan. Somewhere the English language cringes.
