Personal Attacks

[OregonRedbird]

This is my 70th season as a Cardinals fan; I'll be 75 end of the month. The only thing I hate more than an off-day is the off-season.

Over the years I've seen high-highs and low-lows. I've also been treated to 9 WS's and we won 4 of 'em. Many times, especially during down years, I felt like giving up on a lost season but never could. Can't not watch, won't stop caring, it's in my DNA and like 2011 taught us, you never know.

The personal attacks in CT are pointless. Three suggestions.

- If you don't like a post, respond, ignore but stop the condescending and smarmy personal assaults.
- If you don't like a poster, respond, ignore or don't read but spare us the petty attacks and piling on.
- If you don't like me, respond, ignore, or don't read.

Most posters have insightful takes or pose interesting questions. I like learning from different perspectives.

A recent post was titled something like 'It's hard to be a Cardinals fan in recent years''. True enough. The steady decline over the past decade from FO arrogance, unforced errors, mismanagement and indifference is hard to endure. But thoughtful fans know how lucky we are as Cardinals fans. I live in Oregon but was born and raised in the StL. I'll always be proud of that, even in years when watching the Cards feels like punishment.

So, enjoy the game tonight, and for those self-appointed guardians of baseball truth, consider a tall glass of ice-cold shut the fork up at the ready.

Why were you defective until age 5?

Born to Cubs parents and over came it.

Just took time off here and there in pursuit of more important things

I would personally like to see the Cardinals pitchers attack hitters and not get bludgeoned. Cards could use some wins.

Why in the world would you end a post that advocates to stop condescending assaults and attacks with negative, insulting language? The irony is incredible.

Are you a "self-appointed guardian of baseball truth?" Then you should be offended!

You made some very good suggestions. There seem to be many smart posters on CT that, unfortunately, thrive on personal attacks. It's baffling.

I hate to tell you but you've just laid out the rug for the types of posts you're trying to prevent. lol

Yes. It's entirely baffling that a man in his mid-70s who was banned from The Cardinal Nation and has received numerous timeouts here could have his aberrant behavior noted. I just don't get people these days.

Robert M. Shelton, Wally Butterworth. Both racist sock handles you used to agree with yourself. It's a widely known fact. I told you not to push it but you couldn't help yourself.
