As long as he pitches the way he's been pitching, he could be Jabba the Hut's twin as far as I'm concerned.

Was JOBA in Full Metal Jacket?

Poking fun at a man paralyzed by polio is low, rician. Show some class.

GOM, I did not know the man had polio, I was only pointing to the fact that Joba looks like Pyle.

I'll edit my post, although I question whether your motivation is driven by a true belief that I was being insensitive as opposed to just trying to make me feel badly. I'd never knowingly make fun of someone's illness or disability.

Sorry that I "offended" you.

Not for nothing, but Gom questioning people's class is one of the funnier things that goes on here. Class only matters when it's on his terms. Nevermind the mysoginy, hey, he's Egyptian, women don't get any respect in that part of he world, why should they here, or the endorsement of adultery. Those things are class through and through. Nor should we mention that he only comes here to needle people. His entire purpose here is to try and make other people feel bad because of the team they root for. Class indeed. It's like getting marital advice from Bill Clinton.

I was born here, so I'm as American as you are, you ignorant moron. I have all the respect for women, probably more than most here. I do come here sometimes to needle people, but I can take it as well as I can give it, and I come for the overall baseball knowledge that I find. I don't try to make anyone feel bad, but I like the rivalry we have with you, and I do what I can to take part of it.

I will say this. I have a soft spot for animals and the disabled. So when people make fun of that, I am outspoken.

P.S. You didn't offend me rician. I just think you're better than that. I expect that kind of comment from ORS, not you.

I'm glad you have a soft spot for animals and not women. Then again, it's not surprising.

Well, you were correct not to expect that sort of comment from me because, as I explained, you misinterpreted my meaning.

Bottom line...I know I did not have any ill-intention with that post and in retrospect that is all that matters, so the issue is dead.

Please look at your posts. You have absolutely no respect for women, and I don't care where you grew up, it's about who is raising you. The middle east is the worst place in the world in terms of women's rights, and those that raised you are 1st generation to America from there. If you think it had no impact, then not only are you a prick but you are naive as well.

I have fun with my posts. So you are saying that I'm a chauvinist, and treat women with disrespect because my parents were immigrants??? Good thing my parents weren't Irish, I'd be a drunk. Maybe if they were Jewish, I'd be cheap.

More than any other post I have ever seen here, yours was the most disrespectful. You know nothing about me. Absolutely nothing. We could pass each other on the street, and never know it. You know nothing about my personal life, how I interact with women, men, friends, and family. To make such an assumption is ignorant.

So, in addition to treating every woman like property to be bartered, am I also a terrorist? I mean, my parents are originally from the middle east, so I guess that has to be the case.

So, on top of everything else, you're a racist.

The way you convey your attitudes towards women on this board makes you seem chauvinist. In other words, you haven't done anything to break the stereotype, so don't cry foul when it is made.

No one knows anything about anyone here personally. That's what you get with the internet and a message board, it's text on a screen. No one can ever read the person.

First off, he never even made mention of you being a terrorist. Stop making retarded insinuations.

How is he a racist?

[One Red Seat]

It's got nothing to do with race, everything to do with culture, and given the way you interact with females on this site, there's little to believe you view women as anything more than something for your amusement. So, your attempt to make this racial is like if you were the Irish guy calling me out for that with a bottle Bushmills in your hand.

My post was intended to be disrespectful. I have no respect for you and the facade you put on here.

[Gom]

I don't even know who's a female on this site. Nor do I care. I enjoy myself, and have fun. What little respect for you I had for serving in our country's armed forces is gone. Hopefully one day, you'll stop a bullet.

I could care less if you respect me or any facade you think I do or don't put on. I'm just glad people who read this post may get an idea of what you really are on here.
