Well, I think the thing that upset most people was the sarcasm directed at other posters, the sarcasm directed towards Royce (which I found funny.)
I think this sums up nicely the opinion of most of us. The whole Royce vs. Valentin debate obviously touches a raw nerve in many of us. It has gotten to the point where even joking about it on the board offends people. For my part, I intend to remove myself from the discussion. My actions are too easily misunderstood.
OTOH, the website remains a "totally biased" website for Sox Fans. We'll continue to have fun with whatever topics Sox Fans enjoy reading about. Back in '99 we had a feature called the Frank-O-Meter that had either a smiling or frowning Frank Thomas depending on his mood after each game. Everyone seems to enjoy the humor in our recent Clayton schtick as long as it isn't directed at individual opinions. We'll take our cue from that and proceed accordingly.
Meanwhile, keep laughing Sox Fans. Though there is plenty to cry about this season, some humor makes the sting of it all a bit easier to take.
Go Go Sox--God help us all!
