Woah. I have never seen this sort of hatred towards another team or team’s fan. The wrost we get is jokes.
*ahem*
Why are a sperm and Collingwood Magpie’s fan similar?
They Both have a one in a three million chnace in becoming a human being.

October 18, 2005 at 3:24 pm #131612Jeff HesterKeymasterAhhh now I understand Dent your Canadian. Enough said there, I know its hard enough to deal with the fact if your neighbor to your South didnt step up 60 odd years ago all of Canada would be speaking German.
BostichOctober 18, 2005 at 9:43 pm #131625OreoMemberThank you for that funny joke QWERTY and for taking the negative spin off of this topic. If it had gone on the way it was going…who knows what we in the advisor and team leader position might have had to do. 😉 Let’s keep it nice folks… *keys jingle in pocket.*
October 18, 2005 at 10:10 pm #131613Jeff HesterKeymasterWell now all can see the blind hatred that I spoke of which I now understand. The Yankee organization makes some people see thier own shortcomings in themselves. This fustrates so badly they see the Yankees not as a sports franchise but as a symbol of everything they will never be. They see the Yankees as the school bully who stole thier lunch and hit them as they cryed in front of other students. They see them as that one guy who made thier college experience torcher. Thier over bearing boss who they can not stand up to, that guy who cut in front of them on the line at the movie theater. Dent I feel your pain !!!!!!! Sorry you early life experiences has left you in this state. I think this thread should end now point has been made
BostichOctober 18, 2005 at 10:15 pm #131614Jeff HesterKeymasterBy the way the BlueJays truly suck and hopefully they will also move back to AMERICA because our National pastime should not be played on foreign soil. Most Canadians still wont acknowledge that if thier neighbors to the south didnt enter ww2 60 years back them and most of the world would be speaking German.
thank you

bostichYou just earned yourself a ban for that last post. This isn’t the tiny USA ball… it’s the BigBlueBall.Oh and by the way, it’s not over until the World Series have been played.

bostichInstead of being offended by that, all i will say is that that is very debatable mate.And does that mean you don’t want Australians playing baseball? Or other coutires? What about Japan? Or shouldnt they be allowed to play because they were defeated by the grand old US of A.
Theres no need for that mate, just calm down. You don’t like a certain team? So what? I don’t like the South African rugby team but I don’t make racial slurs or knock them for whatever reason.
Just chill out, mkay?
October 19, 2005 at 3:07 pm #131626OreoMemberWith that thinking…Hmmm…Rugby and Cricket should not be played out of the United Kingdom…Basketball and Hockey should not be played IN the United States (Yup…check your facts….a CANADIAN guy started Basketball!)…that’s silly! Sports are sports…they are to be enjoyed…not fought over…at least not seriously…we are NOT talking world politics (which sometimes causes stupid fights to happen as well.)
AGAIN, everyone…take a DEEP breath and cut the bickering out. Casting aspersions and denegrating another’s country does no good. By sharing sports with other countries, we learn to enjoy their passtimes and can start to understand them better. The Yankies lost, deal with it. It happens, YES they have been doing well…this just was not their year…it is the law of averages. HECK…Brewers fans are happy that the team won and lost equal amounts of games for the first time since 1989…put things into perspective and try not to make a mountain out of a mole hill…the lock may come down on this topic otherwise.October 19, 2005 at 3:25 pm #131621GandalfMemberI think it was funny how bostichman “forgot” that AMERICA is a continent, not a country. What a dork.
October 19, 2005 at 4:49 pm #131647larrygmanMemberI have been following this thread for several days. As a Yankee fan myself I have been waiting for a reply from Bostech. I see upon his response he was banned. He only struck back it appears to me and in his haste he did bring up some good points. I see if someone gives his opinion here the result is banishment. Banished to the netherland!! Many of you that visit here probably dont understand that this country was built on both strong opinion and a belief that we are the BEST. If stressing that fact gets you banishment then so be it. There are many posting sites here on the web and I will now visit them. Big Blue Ball is I see for weak minded Liberals who as Bostech said were all probably picked on through school. Seems those in charge of BBB think a voice can be silenced with banishment, here it appears so it is true. In the USA its not that easy to do. So Bostech if you come back and visit once in a while know that one man that was here did hear and listen to what you said. I hope you keep giving opinions to any ear in your range and keep on truckin brother. By the way to Jeff, the Blue Jays are not even in the playoffs. To Gandalf Lords is only a story made into a movie hope your not one of those that sits in a white robe at home and quotes line from the movie. Also Gandy America a continent not a country? What the hell you smokin? Ever listen to the words of America the Beautiful? Okay Jeffy do what most Liberals do when they hear an opinion they dont like. Turn away and banish me also. PS your a liberal and I am not
BYE to All

Quote:I see if someone gives his opinion here the result is banishment. Banished to the netherland!!No, we encourage people to share diverse opinions, as anyone who has been here for a while can tell you. But we don’t allow ludicrous attempts to bait others into a mindless argument. Oh, and the Netherlands is a country in Europe — and despite what you may have thought, we didn’t actually banish bostichman to the country of dikes and tulips.
Quote:Many of you that visit here probably dont understand that this country was built on both strong opinion and a belief that we are the BEST.What does “this country” refer to? This website isn’t focused on any country, but on this planet — this big, blue ball.
Quote:Big Blue Ball is I see for weak minded Liberals who as Bostech said were all probably picked on through school. Seems those in charge of BBB think a voice can be silenced with banishment, here it appears so it is true.Actually Larry, I’m a conservative and a registered Republican. I don’t like assholes, but I don’t ban people for being one. I ban people for breaking our Forum Policies, which state:
Treat other members with civility and respect. Profanity, obscenity and pornography are not tolerated. This is a public forum and we want it to remain a friendly place where all kinds of people can feel comfortable.Quote:By the way to Jeff, the Blue Jays are not even in the playoffs.As if I care — I hate baseball.
Quote:Also Gandy America a continent not a country? What the hell you smokin? Ever listen to the words of America the Beautiful?Check an atlas. Canada, Mexico and the United States are all part of North America. I’ve heard rumors that there is even a South America.
Quote:Okay Jeffy do what most Liberals do when they hear an opinion they dont like. Turn away and banish me also. PS your a liberal and I am notAs it so happens, bostichman posted his inflammatory post twice. The first time it was deleted by an Advisor. Not taking the hint, he posted it a second time. It was a well-earned ban.
October 19, 2005 at 5:11 pm #131615Jeff HesterKeymasterThis thread was about sports, not politics larry. It is ok to debate between teams but why bring country bashing into it. This is BigBlueBall, not BigBlueUSA, and for that reason we respect everyone else besides those that live in America. As for saying

Is it that hard to keep on topic that things like this need to be brought up?
As for Yankees, it is disappointing but big deal, it is not the end of the world. Sports are games, games meant for entertainment and fun, with the occassional talking smack, but taken it as far as it has gone here is unnecessary. You might want to read the following next time.
Respect,Tolerance, and Legality
Rules are there for a reason.
October 19, 2005 at 6:20 pm #131627OreoMemberIt is really sad to see that a topic about sports degenerated into something so sick. Smack is smack, sports are sports, but when some one cannot take a hint from admin to back off and cool down, sorry…but that’s when you ban a person. Just like in sports, play by the RULES…it is not about “Liberal” or “Conservative” apparently you just do not get that Larry. It is the WORLD view…and sorry to say the Yankees, nor ANY sports team is the CENTER and the only important thing in the world. Some people just need to grow up apparently…I think the last time I witnessed a fight over some silly sporting event was in grade school during four square…perhaps the little lesson learned there might be best taught here: Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but calling names and hurting people is not the way to deal with it. I am all for free speech…but not to the point where it damages another person…a little something I picked up in grade school 😉

October 20, 2005 at 3:25 am #131618Jeff HesterKeymasterThat crack about BigBlueBall being “liberal” made me double-over in laughter. This is a site about instant messaging, folks. There are not conservative or liberal ways to cover instant messaging. As for people, well, we have all kinds here. Short and tall, skinny and wide, smart and smartass, black and white. All races, all colors, all religions, all countries. Why? Because it’s not a NY Yankee fan club. It’s about instant messaging. And instant messaging isn’t about any one people or nationality or anything else.
If I’ve learned anything from this “sports” thread, it’s this: watch out for those Yankee fans! :p
