LA Angels Monday News Crash: Re-Signed

Or….you could try a different approach?

You started commenting on this site in spring training this year, and within the first 48hrs you were calling the community “complainers” and “whiners”. You’ve called the community members who discuss prospects here “wannabe scouts”. You’ve disparaged those who talk stats and analytics. You’ve mocked the “realists”. And as time has gone on, you’ve turned to flat out namecalling and insults – calling the community “bozos” etc.

What’s ok to talk about, EHC? What meets your approval? And more importantly…at this point, why should any of us care?

I have access to your comment history, and within five comments, nearly everything you’ve posted here became a running monologue on the site’s perceived negativity. You’ve been antagonistic from week one.

You’re like a guy who wanders into the neighborhood bar, complains about what’s playing on the jukebox, complains about the beer selection, and tells the regulars to STFU, and stop complaining.

Meanwhile, there are optimists that we all get along with – Pineapple12 is one. He gets good-natured teasing for his improbable predictions, but he also doesn’t shove his optimism down others’ throats or kick off each comment demeaning the intelligences of others or with implications that diehard fanatics here are lesser-than himself.

Here’s the deal: if you call folks names here, or keep haranguing people for their opinions on the club, your comments are going to get deleted. If it persists, your account is going to get paused. Eventually you could get IP-blacklisted.

In short: play nice. You’re new here, and you’ve been acting like a jerk. There’s a culture of complaint here – it’s tolerated, because Angels fans are long-suffering. If you don’t like it, then keep it to yourself. Or move on.
