No wonder Stearns keeps getting relievers, they use so many of them in a game like this.

What ever happened to the concept of the "long man" out of the bullpen, they guy who would pitch 3 innings in a game?

He knows damn well whenever the hell I post whether he has me blocked or not. Personally, I doubt he's blocking me. He couldn't ignore my posts if his life depended on it. Not that it fucking matters. Whenever I post, the site tells him I posted where my post would be even if he blocked me, which he didn't no matter what he claims. What a fucking asshole. All because I once wrote a post explaining that I could care less about the Mets next year's schedule. I guess that makes me like Satan.

I just noticed a private message from Edgy over the post I quoted just above. Here's his PM:

If you want a permanent ban, you are taking the right tack here.

I'm posting it here for several reasons. First of all, I disagree that these matters are private. Everybody needs to know what goes on here as far as these matters are concerned. It helps ensure that the rules, whatever the hell they are, are enforced evenly and fairly. Even though this board operates much like the country is operating: there a poster running things at whim and arbitrarily, without rhyme or reason and there isn't a single reasonable check or balance on him What's the problem now? I can't disagree with Grimm's belief that someone s blocking me? I'm not allowed to explain how the blockf unction works? Shades of 30 day suspensions for posting "skullfuck" when everyone else and his mother has used words three times as vulgar. Or the kunt club fiasco. Ex post facto lawmaking and a 30 day suspension for using a word that was used with impunity. Whatever.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb here. I'm pretty sure the complaint wasn't about your description of the block function, but instead about your referring to a fellow poster as "a fucking asshole."



As for who has blocked whom, as an admin I can see the data. I won't name any names, but there are eight members who have used the block feature, and there are seven distinct individuals who have been blocked. Five of the seven have only one "foe", there's one person with two foes, and one person with four.



You're the one with four.
