    Those forums are the ugliest things ever. I find them impossible to read.

    I'm all for unbanning former posters and giving them another shot.

    The Globe should go out of business

    I think you mean "boston.com should go out of business."

    Boston.com sports is just awful.

    The site is next to impossible to navigate and most of the good writers are over at the Globe.com site where they want me to pay for content.

    Nope.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    It's called Microsoft Edge now. Don't want to go there. I'm still pissed at the 10 "upgrade" which has left me with no viable media player for DVDs (VLN is useless, worked fine on 8). Also, the constant "application is not available" when it tries to connect to OneDrive every time I log on. FUCK. OFF.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    except if I bring my computer back from sleep or whatever, often I can't get Chrome to open and have to restart. It drove me mad enough to go back to Firefox, which quickly proved to be as bad as when I originally fled from it to Chrome. Sigh.

    That stinks that BDC forums are shutting down. That said, there are some really good posters there that I think would be a great addition here.

    Please, NO on the unbanning of former posters. Seriously.

    I've never had that problem, and I have never encountered anyone else who has had that problem. I don't doubt your story, but I think that might be more of a "your computer" issue than a Chrome issue.

    I made a special decision in the case of one person, who has yet to actually return and post. I'm not going to give carte blanche to every former Talksox troll to come back and cause trouble. There's at least one person I can think of for whom I would burn this site and the entire Internet to the ground before I let him back. And yes, before the snide comments, I know you can't actually burn the Internet down.

    If you can't burn down the internet, why do I have a firewall?

    Also, YOTN is right for not allowing anyone back. I'd be a shitty mod. I respect his decision.

    And this is why I have repeatedly said that you are an awesome mod. I'm not just blowing smoke either, as we all know that I don't do that.
