As one of the older posters on CT

[Melville]

The message is an admirable one, but the generational patronizing isn’t necessary.

Older folks don’t have a monopoly on virtue.

Not a monopoly, true. But more of it, for sure.

Ridiculous and inaccurate.

No kidding. Nothing like gross generalizations and stereotyping.

I am an older poster and yes older ones do have a Monopoly . They also played Clue, Risk , and other board games when we were teens.
If you understand that it was Colonel Mustard with the Lead Pipe in the Study .. then yes you have a CLUE about the older generation.

Monopoly taught how to make and use money in real estate. The best game was SORRY. Both it and aggrevation, were stellar.

Not far behind was Yahtzee.

All solid.
But my preference was chess.

I forgot about chess. Love it. Here’s one- Card games. Anyone remember playing Canasta with grand maw while skipping school.

Every generation has its saints and its scoundrels. Virtue isn’t inherited with age. It’s earned through individual choices. We all make our choices.

Experience brings wisdom. Wisdom fosters virtue. Or at least they tend to.

The greatest value of age is that it reveals character.
For the good or the bad.
Which brings us back to the topic of this thread.
Anonymous internet posting does as well.
It's often not pretty.
I recommend my approach:
Commit to making the internet better - one post at a time.

He and The Marmot play daily.

Checkers was designed to pass time while promoting communicating. It’s a talking game. Chess. Silent. Stealth.

You not going to have a POBO to bash in about 2 months. And if Oli goes, you’ll be left with nothing to talk about.

So, the team is just going to do away with the POBO and field manager positions? Of course they aren't, Bloom will be POBO and Oli or someone else will be the manager. And there will be plenty to talk about, just as there was when Jockety was GM and TLR was the manager.

Do pay attention to this worthy thread.
I never "bash".
I merely analyze with at extreme high level of insight - often ingeniously and memorably (such as my previous post above).
Once Super Slo Mo and The Marmot exit stage left, other actors will enter - and will provide me the ample opportunity to educate all as to their performance.
Baseball is a beautiful game and never fails to provide topics of debate and conversation.
So, rest assured.
You will have much to read and enjoy, which I always offer as an act of service.

My question is - why do you continue this weird schtick? I wonder what a psychoanalyst would say about you, and your incessant bizarre desire for attention.

Apparently, you will (bleep) off some of the more senior members of CT...any condemnation of the front office, they will take as a personal insult...you merely point out Mo-ran and his mistakes, which he repeats over and over ..

I believe that and practice that. But you constantly are starving for attention. That’s why you developed your schtick, and why you continue, even under ridicule. Have you ever asked yourself why?

Very true. They just have more experience.

At being terrible to other people

Thanks for saying it.

Respect your elders, why, because they were born before me? Every time I've ever heard that ridiculous phrase it was from someone who didn't like the reaction their disrespect brought back to them.

Respect is earned through deeds and how people treat others, not for simply existing a long time.

An example of not asking the right question.
Here is one more apropos.
Why is there an insatiable appetite, on the part of so many, to consume by posts?
Learn the answer to that, and the door to further understanding is unlocked.
