But you know what, guys? Again, if you don't like what I post, or the length of my posts annoys you, there's an ignore feature on the forum for a reason. I suggest you use it. Badmouthing someone behind their back is incredibly low class. I have a right to express my opinion, respectfully, and you can either agree with what I have to say, and respond in kind, disagree with what I have to say, and provide evidence as to why you disagree with me, or you can say nothing.

Yes, I tend to write a lot. I put a lot of thought into my posts because, honestly, I see a lot of this kind of talk elsewhere, and statements are presented as fact, and there's no supporting evidence. None. We throw things out there quite casually, and there's little to no truth to much of it. If the sheer length of my carefully thought out posts offends you, ignore it, and move on.

I have to find ways to try and fill my time. If my analysis isn't appreciated, there are plenty of other threads about rampant fraud, and the crooks in the hobby to hold your attention. Plenty of talk about the latest scandal in baseball ("sign stealing"), or football ("deflated balls, taping practices"), etc etc.

You keep using words that don't apply like "annoyed", "offended", and so on, but we were just poking a little fun at the laborious nature of your posts (and the pompous nature with which that omniscience is often delivered.) This is just an internet forum; most people don't share your need to get so involved with every detail about Larry Walker and Derek Jeter being presented and considered down to the nth degree. A random online person's misconceptions about such topics really aren't that big of a deal.
