bump

Now don't tell me later on that I never warned ya

Why are you such an attention whore?
The reason no one can stand your post's is because your always posting like you've got something to prove. Always on edge and insecure about yourself.
I wrote a thread a couple months ago saying that the Yankees still have a chance to make a comeback and that was when we had like a 12 or 13 game lead. It doesn't take an extrodinary mind to realize that the Yankees had/have a very good offense that has the potential to make a comeback. So trying to rub it in fellow red sox fans that the lead isn't as big as it was before is just pathetic. Are you trying to make up for your Pedroia (Rookie of the year) thread?
By the way sox are still going to win the division.

First place.

99.9+ percent chance of making the playoffs and 92+ percent chance of winning the division.

Just go become a Twins fan or something.

[GreenerPastures]

I'm a Bostonian born and bred. LOL @ becoming a Twins fan. As if calling the team out on their recent stretch of sucktitude suggests that I'm less of a Red Sox fan than you.

[sunshinekids99]

The issue I have with you is if the team is going bad your here. IF they are going good you are nowhere to be seen. Odd if you ask me.

[Bleeding Green]

You're not calling them out. You're saying things that just are not based in reality.

[GreenerPastures]

Oh really?

2.5 and shrinking.

BUMP

[sunshinekids99]

Alright so your basically now a troll. One more bump you get a warning. Got it?

I am not personally attacking anyone. I'm just doing my thing, and I'm keeping it to one or two threads.

Honestly, you don't have to agree with my perception of the team.

It's pretty obvious that this team lacks the killer instinct to pull it off at the end. This trio of Papelbon, Okajima, and Gagne has been so bad of late. I'm calling out everyone who was ready to anoint the Red Sox the WS champs after the Gagne trade!

That being said, I guess I should just only post material that everyone else agrees with, so that I don't get in trouble!

PS - Bleeding Green, the "mod," told me to 'shut up' in this thread. But no warning for him? Okay! You're not biased towards certain opinions!

[sunshinekids99]

My problem with you is that you only show up when the team loses. Otherwise you are no where to be seen. So yes I think you are a troll and you will be treated like one if you continue your little attention whore act.

That's not the point. Whenever they lose in an epically bad fashion, I will post in this thread. It's happened quite a few times, as if you haven't already noticed, and the lead that for the moment we have bragging rights to keeps shrinking.

I'm only a "troll" because I carry an unpopular opinion.

If another poster did the same thing, except that he/ she was making very homeristic posts, I don't think that you would call that person out on his/her lack of activity during the losses. All I'm asking for is consistency. Whether I'm an attention "whore" or not (by the way, nice choice of language), I am not telling anyone to shut up, nor am I calling anyone an attention "whore." I just be.

Also, tell me specifically where in the terms of service being an "attention whore" is a violation, taking into account that the attention whore doesn't degrade others. I understand that moderation ultimately comes down to discretion, but I feel that the mods here are abusing it. The new Celtics mod canman is like that too. I have no problem with the other mods on that board, except him. Talk about trigger happy.

Furthermore, I want you to tell me why being told to shut up and being called attention whore multiple times by various posters is in any way more justifiable than posting in a *OH NO* negative *OH NO* thread that effectively and justifiably calls out the bad performances.

[sunshinekids99]

See the thing I'm getting at is I really don't even think your a Sox fan at all. You only come when they lose, really only to rub it into fans who post on here regardless if they win or not. So yeah I do think your a troll. Not because you have an unpopular opinion.

Your actually the first person I've ever warned on the baseball site. So congrats on that. But if you continue your act I will ask for you to be removed from the site.

Are you not getting what I'm saying?

You can't just warn / want to remove someone because you "think" you're right. You need to have the terms of service that Howard Mass wrote up and show me exactly what I did to violate.

I'm not a Red Sox fan? Born in Concord, bred in Chelmsford, and I watch as many Sox games as I can. I love the Sox.

You may not agree with my "trolling," but I do it when it's justified. I don't bump this thread everytime they lose. I bump it everytime they lose in an epically bad fashion, as I mentioned before. You shouldn't act upon it simply because you don't agree with the opinion being written.

I have good things to say, maybe you should look at my posts on this board. Honestly, all I'm saying is that it shouldn't matter how many positive / negative posts a poster makes. As long as he does not personally attack. This was a thread I created and bump whenever I choose to, without violating any rules.

Again, you cannot act based on how you "think" and how you "feel." This isn't YOUR board. It is another person's, and you're expected to judge my posts based on that.

[sunshinekids99]

Well this one fits. Bumping is just post padding

Members who participate in discussions should attempt to make a meaningful contribution. Users who spam or post with the sole intention of increasing their post count and ranking may be warned.

This one works.

Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. This applies to ALL users, regardless of post count, forum rank or perceived status at RealGM. Flaming,[i] trolling or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.[/i]

And last but not least.

The administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit or remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Moderators and not users

[GreenerPastures]

(1) I don't care about my post count. None of these bumps have anything to do with post count.

(2) I was told to shut up and I was called an attention whore. I guess those aren't violations, right, since the person making the insults stands on the accepted side of the argument. Plus I do not flame / personally attack. I do not insult anyone. I just be. I have my opinion and go with it. Again, you just don't like my opinion.

(3) I do not self promote, so it's not spam. It's not indecent, as I don't swear (and I don't call anyone a whore, unlike.. oh wait!). And there's no vulgarity.

I mean you're really stretching on all of them.

If you want to suspend or have me banned, go ahead. I just want you to know that you're potentially abusing your power.

[sunshinekids99]

Actually I'm not. But we are done talking about this on the board. If you have an issue send me a pm.

[Bleeding Green]

Psst, there is a PM function. Don't clutter this otherwise valid thread up with nonsense.

[quote="GreenerPastures"][/quote]

well bumping everytime they lose in a bad fashion is just going to piss off people who are already pissed off. I don't think people should "bump" there own threads at all. If other posters want to see it then they'll talk on it. You don't see me bumping my thread that I wrote that the yankees could make a comeback. I know it would just annoy everyone and it's obvious that's what you're trying to do.

[wigglestrue]

Ban GP.

I wish that attitude had been exercised on the Celtics board re: self-trolls.

I believe "The Supremes" put it best when they said

"Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye"
