If Sam Cassell's shot doesn't show up in the mail, there's a real hole at bakup PG The starter wasn't exactly doing the raindance with his jumper last night either. Should have taken Marcus Williams.

Shooting is on point to start the third. Allen misses an uncontested three, Rondo misses, Kidd follows an awful shot with one not even TJ could get behind.

State what you mean and stop talking in riddles. A woman lives on the tenth floor of an apartment building. Every morning she takes the elevator all the way down, and goes to work. In the evening, she gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in it she goes back to her floor directly. Otherwise, she goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to her apartment. Why?

No, I was saying that positive comments about the article increase the possibility of the link being read. I see, not just sheer numbers. That's how I interpreted.
posted by YukonGold at 02:12 PM on November 06, 2007
Obviously just posting great link isn't going to lead to a discussion, but I believe that it makes people more likely to read the link. Is that saying that all links need discussion? If that's the case Barry Bonds, dogfighting and Yankees/Red Sox are our bread and butter. I think the exact opposite. Link (news) aggregation and discussion are two completely separate facets of SpoFi and have no dependence on one another.
posted by YukonGold at 01:15 PM on November 06, 2007
So we've got good link and bad link, good comment and bad comment, troll, flamewar, axe grinding, worth the effort, worksforme, would definitely sleep with again, hated it, loved it, and no comment. That's a lot of flags.
posted by YukonGold at 12:54 PM on November 06, 2007
Part of the problem, though, is that you can post a great FPP that gets very little attention because it's not about basketball, baseball, football or hockey. I still post a few "other" threads but I've mostly given up. I interpret that as sour grapes. 100 comments doesn't validate the relevancy of a link. If you post something about skiing and one person finds interest in it can't you consider it a success. Could you continue the conversation with that one person and share opinions? The community is what you make of it and while Hawkguy is in here trying to point out the issues, he was also the first guy to bring up Spofi's love of the Red Sox in the trick or treat thread. Was it worth comparing Varitek to Mike Sweeney? Are we to assume this is the extent of Jason Varitek's community involvement. My motivation for posting was not to show how much I love them, but rather that it was an interesting story that others nationwide may not here. I apologize for living in the greater Boston area, I guess - I saw it in my paper. If I'm to follow some of this logic I'd be better off avoiding iit because of its context in the sporting landscape. The truth is some links need no comments. The trick or treat thread needed no comments - if I had the ability to dictate as much in the posting process I would have. What the hell are you gonna say beyond "wow, what a cool thing"? Did I perpetuate the derailing there, sure. But nothing that couldn't have gone unsaid. On that note, I leave you with these words.... Who cares about this stupid election? We all know it doesn't matter who gets elected president of Carver. Do you really think it's going to change anything around here; make one single person smarter or happier or nicer? The only person it does matter to is the one who gets elected. The same pathetic charade happens every year, and everyone makes the same pathetic promises just so they can put it on their transcripts to get into college. So vote for me, because I don't even want to go to college, and I don't care, and as president I won't do anything. The only promise I will make is that if elected I will immediately dismantle the student government, so that none of us will ever have to sit through one of these stupid assemblies again! [Student body erupts in huge cheers] Or don't vote for me... who cares? Don't vote at all!

for the record... I emailed TCS privately to tell him that I appreciated his support in Fantasy Baseball endeavors and I harbor no ill-will if he parts company. It was a difference of opinion, an argument even. He seemed unsatisfied that I wasn't willing to post that here, so there you go - I thought it was more appropriate offline. I'm not apologizing for my comments though. I'm an asshat and I'm ok with that.
posted by YukonGold at 01:49 PM on October 12, 2007
My "vote" is that rcade's post should be deleted because it was a bad post that broke the guidelines. We're beyond that point aren't we? I think rcade has a good handle on how to censure himself. He doesn't owe an apology, he shouldn't be deleting posts, he shouldn't be making excuses. The fact that this all revolves around thin skin continues shocking me.

I pointed out the oddity of referring to the "early exit" of a team that won a game when all other losing teams in that round got swept. So, early exit = number of games played, not number of rounds played? I think you could make an argument for both interpretations. I'm not asking for an apology...Please stop telling me what I'm thinking and what I want. Oh - sorry to have told you what you were saying so incorrectly. Care to elaborate on what these words were meant to imply...my feeble education is clearly failing me here.
I think TCS's most recent comment does make a fair case for the argument that something of the sort from some people who have contributed to this thread would not go amiss Not that he or I ever asked for one.As for "telling you what you are thinking" it's not the first time you've accused me (I can't find the archive link) - it's really your only retort to when I question your motivations here. For someone who's not worried about it you sure are putting on a brave face while fighting the good fight. What do you want to get out of this? If it's continuing to argue semantics, I'm game. I began my contributions by being critical of both parties involved as it relates to the structure of the community - to me that's trying to raise the level of discourse.
