Thanks for your kind words. We banned politics and religion after learning the hard way. I enjoy the free flowing conversations and my philosophy as a moderator is to be generally hands off unless something crosses the line or effects the readability of the board. Sure, there is a little more conflict since the YES boarders joined but that's just to be expected as the number of users grow and new personalities are introduced. I don't think conflict and debate should be necessarily frowned up as long as it doesn't get nasty. If there's anything I can do to improve as a moderator do let me know. Snacks, polo shirts with forum logo, soft serve ice cream machine. Also, any chance you could get in Cashman's ear? |

OK, but don't call this a Yankees forum. Call it a "talk about what every you want forum". I signed up because I wanted something to replace the YES forum, which most of the time talk about specific Yankee topics. Guess I need to look again. It appears that in your totality of six posts, you've written almost solely of your disappointment in this forum and its threads, while completely avoiding talking about the Yankees or even baseball in general. Do you see the irony? He can’t see it. He only buys wrinkle free clothing… |

Ahh yes the dreaded Sport of Politics forum. I visited there a few times but was attacked for being a conservative by almost everyone, and I determined all that hate was something I had no stomach for. I never posted on the political thread. I feared someone would ask how a guy who thought Jesus Montero was going to be a star should be taken seriously in solving the problems of the world !!! You think you screwed up on Montero? I thought he was the “other” Jesus… |

I was on another forum once where the moderator ruled with an "iron fist", to the point he even shut down conversation that was sports related but he felt a bit off topic to a thread. I can't believe this is an issue. I for one enjoy the latitude we have with discussions. I guess my only red lines would be politics and religion because they can be so personal and often lead to incivility. IMHO, Kaybil does an excellent job moderating the board. I do sense there is an increased amount of conflict since us refugees have joined, hope it hasn't been too disruptive and diminishes at some point. Thanks for your kind words.

Maybe you could delete disgusting and sophomoric words like ”squirts”… 🤓 |

This season's Miami Dolphin's collapse really beat me down. 50 years since the last championship and I was in diapers. I told myself years ago I would not get excited and get my expectations up but I fell for it again.

As you know, there was a separate forum on YES for “The Sport of Politics”…and political discussion was verboten in the Yankee forum. Ahh yes the dreaded Sport of Politics forum. I visited there a few times but was attacked for being a conservative by almost everyone, and I determined all that hate was something I had no stomach for. I don't consider myself a far left liberal, not that there's anything wrong with that, we're all Americans. But if you remember I'm more center left, so even though you and I didn't agree that much on that forum, I can't ever remember any of our discussions being uncivil. It just goes to show that disagreeing is one thing, being disrespectful is another. |
