How far did you want a thread claiming that a club playing .500 was AAA caliber to go?

In the old days when we had a mediocre club we simply grinned and bore it until the team got better which it always did....eventually. This team will do the same in a few years. There's plenty of talent waiting in the wings.

I get that an 80 year old doesn't have much patience for mediocrity, but it isn't like the team isn't competitive or isn't attempting to get better. Denying that is disingenuous.

Right on, hugeCardfan.

I believe the lack fans attending games this have spoken. Not just two random posters.

Well, one can constantly complain (which solves nothing), or one can dig into the facts to see how the higher level prospects are responding to the increase in traveling specialty instructors and enhanced training equipment.

It’s always amazing to me how eager you are to give these people credit for putting out a fire that they intentionally started.

Constant negativity solves nothing. Unless it’s just for you if you need the continuously vent.

They did, and that’s why I have him on ignore per their demand, and will keep him there.

What a shocker that I don't spend 24 hours on here, sdaltons. And why are you participating in this discussion? Is piling on you your thing? Is it how you get your jollies?

The post I quoted above was at 11:01am. You posted IN THIS THREAD at 3:25pm. Don't lie, it's quite unbecoming. You have no intention of answering the question.

I am participating because I'm curious what the answer is, even though I know we'll never get it.

Cranny wrote: ↑13 Aug 2025 22:52 pm The answer is that even though you have someone on ignore, their posts still show up if they’re on a chain of posts. But you already knew that.

NYCardsFan wrote: ↑14 Aug 2025 06:41 am But in the two examples I cited, you directly quote-replied to WLTFE within minutes of his post, there was no intervening “chain of posts.” As a purely technical matter, it’s impossible to directly quote-reply to a post on this forum without first being able to see/read it. But if he’s on your Foe List and you were truly ignoring him, you wouldn’t have been able to see those original posts, and therefore you wouldn’t have been able to directly quote-reply to them within minutes.

So once again, if he’s on your Foe List and you’re adhering to the mods’ “demand” that you ignore him, how did you manage to directly quote-reply to him like that?

I guess this is the rare exception when Cranny doesn’t have to have (and doesn’t want) the last word . . .

Any response from Baghdad Bob?

Hey, NY! Simply wonderful to see you post. Have a delightful evening. All the best to you.

Guilty complex? Not once was your name mentioned.

He won’t mention it, Red, because he’s been warned by the powers to be and doesn’t want to get banned. But the references are obvious, don’t you think?

Only because you reported him. Didn't they tell you the same thing?

They did, and that’s why I have him on ignore per their demand, and will keep him there.

Serious question: If you have him on “ignore” (i.e., Foe List) and therefore allegedly can’t see/read his posts, then how is possible for you to directly quote-reply to him?

I can’t read your post, but you’ve been warned to stop stalking by the moderators (like I’ve been warned) so I suggest you stop before you’re banned.

You might want to follow their advice.

So were you...and you continue to follow my posts...so go and report us both.

You follow with a post after every one of my posts. Not vice versa. Stop the stalking and trolling before it’s too late for you.

Why are you addressing me? I didn’t post that this evening, WLTFE did. You’re replying to his post, not mine. (But how is that possible if you “have him on ignore” and “can’t see his posts”?)

But congratulations on yet another miraculous direct quote-reply (with no intervening “chain of posts”) to someone you claim to have on your Foe List.

Or should I say Faux List?

Baghdad Bob continues to lie ..and troll Red...sad and pathetic!
