ever been to a david allan coe concert? good times.

20% seems über high

we're glossing over the real issue which is that rmthawk is a terrible poster

Ever been to a Klan rally...?

Oh wait, oops

No he's black he posted a picture once that said something like "I'm black imo"

He's one of the few blactuaries currently practicing.

Not at the cost of destroying an entire thread. Sorry. That's ridiculous. Even os fans find him terrible.

The mlb thread made a nice comeback with good content. Now one poster who lacks social conventions is single handedly taking it down again. Is that fair to everyone else? Being an ass in April doesn't justify being an ass in September.

Worst post on the page.

making racist commentary in general is -EV because it projects a judgmental energy.

even though i'm white, it still makes me a lil bit leery of somebody who's comfortable dropping racial slurs. there's logic behind it- if somebody is petty enough to judge somebody for their race, decent chance they're judging me for something stupid as well.

casually dropping racial slurs was fine in high school. maaybe freshman year of college too. after that most of the people who used em were actually racist, in my experiences.

You also think A-Rod's Cousin is horrible

Your argument is invalid.

Also, Ray Horton is a horrible poster

"You don't have to call me Waylon *****ings, and you don't have to call me Charlie *****. You never even call me by my favorite racial slurrrrrrrrrrr."

And ozzie guillen has gay friends and watches the wnba. It's immaterial.

well duh

Good one, but that's not the perfect country and western song IMO. If That Ain't Country fits the bill.

not really sure if its a sporting events thing or what but seems to me the general consensus of two plus two has been in the past anyone can be made fun of as long as its an actual good joke. noone is off limits. People make fun of women and women sports all time her. Looks like much ado about nothing just because rmthawk is the most vocal and rabid homer and generally makes really awful/unfunny "trolly" posts and his team is actually still in the race despite the entirety of 2+2 rooting against him team. I don't like most of his unfunny posts but double standards as far as I can tell. Maybe I read to much OOT and alot more is allowed to be said racially. Maybe its an age gap where when you are in your early-middle twenties you happen to hang out with kids who you have known forever who occasionally make a politically incorrect drunk joke and then you get older and it stops being okay. Whatever. I have always pretty much been of the idea that noone is off limits as long as you are equal opportunity about it. meh

The point was there's plenty of people that you can meet in life who use racial slurs in certain situations that are completely harmless. That doesn't make them a bad person.

I was just using one example.

@First bold: Far from true. I'm quite outgoing

@Second bold: The only way I was an "ass" in April could have been being mocked for my excitement over the Orioles hot start and being told I wouldn't be posting in May/June/July etc when the O's are back in the cellar and once again the laughing stock of the league.

Funny how that works, huh?


I'm not arguing my recent posting (past month, maybe 2) have been completely terrible. Probably has, but it's not like it was unprovoked.

he is, and by extension you are too. although a-rod's cousin will occasionally knock one out of the park, he's sort of an SE wily mo pena.

Wow this is a fantastic post. Wish I were better with words sometimes.

No u

Ok let's assume your response to point 2 is entirely accurate.

It still doesn't justify destroying what had become a quality thread. It stopped being a quality thread when you returned to it.

I don't think we're calling you a bad person, just a bad poster. You posted a picture last year in your RAAAAAVENS gear and I thought you were late 20s maybe. Then you posted something this week I think that you are only 23. That makes your posting and general life philosophies more...defensible I think. I think in 5 years you'll be a much better poster here.

Gameday highlight thread > your work, of what I've seen

perhaps some of your new york friends can come to your defense by presenting some sick strat post or tr from 2005

Triumph doesn't think the yankees have run bad with injuries. I cannot defend him.

Ray, who did you used to be? I cannot figure it out.

I never left it bro.
