    I don't disagree. But considering the grades that the media guys put out, and the grades that other posters put out, most seem in line with the OP's perspective, with your opinion being the outlier. Usually, when the masses agree, it's the responsibility of those in the minority to have to work harder to support their POV.

    Nobody says you can't challenege opinions - we all do that here. That's the point of this message board. But their also no need to be arrogant or pompous about it. I know you don't always feel you get the props or respect you deserve, but there's also no need to jump right into a post and disrespect someone.

    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

    You have kids - I'd hope you'd understand one of the biggest golden rules.

    I have to say, I'm pretty much the same in the real world as I am in the cyberworld.

    So you fly banners of half naked men on your house in protest to others subscribing to playboy?

    That'd be hillarious. Suddenly, crandc would become very popular with the men.

    And yet, they'd have no interest in her, and she'd have no interest in them.

    What percentage of the population of San Fran is gay men? I'd wager Playboy sales aren't especially high there :lol:

    Very well said, but I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears. I like PapaG fine, but he and a few other posters on here go psycho every once in a while. Like a binge drinker, it could last from a few days to several months. He's gotten his feelings hurt, and has no problem hurting the feelings of others. On this particular binge, he's pissed that people think Babbitt sucks, and he's not unreasonably using stats to back up his argument. I would probably agree with him if I didn't see with my own eyes during the summer league games what a drastic effect his lack of defense has on the whole game.

    Apparently, I offended him by starting this thread, and he let me know it right away.

    Somehow he doesn't see that he has treated me differently. MM started 2 or 3 virtually identical threads, and he didn't go in there and say they were stupid and insult him and take over the thread. Whatever. I've put him on ignore, and I'll be happy to move him off ignore in a couple of weeks when he's calmed down a bit. Of course, he'll read this and that may strength his resolve remain in his current state.

    Yeah, the Rubechat guys were a blast. Until they had to leave with their tails between their legs. Never seen so many trolls jump ship at once and so quickly. Not sure the return ship could support the weight of all that bullshit - they may have drowned upon their return voyage.

    In fact, several of us did ask where PapaG was during that chaos.

    Chicago working. I'm there again next week.

    Trolls, if you're planning another ambush, please wait until the week of 8/6/12!

    You tell more personal stories than anyone in here and shit all over the board with your opinion. But, everybody else wants to make it about you?

    Mediocre Man, you are not far wrong. I have an AIDS poster of a handsome young man in an open raincoat with the caption "good boys always wear their rubbers". The Rip City cover of Chris Dudley in swimsuit, which he kindly signed.

    And my cats.
