That's okay, we'll just call you, appropriately, Chuck 'n Duck!

Chuck, the OP, did not give his opinion of Steve Carlton, did he? He's just asking a question.
sincerely, Chuck |

All I know about Mr Carlton is that the Cardinals had him and somehow thought trading him for Rick "Wise" was a good idea.

Guy has been the subject of a number of articles in the LA Times and someone thinks it's unfair that a simple question was asked on this colleting board? Weird response in people getting all defensive for Steve Carlton. Same question is asked about prominent public figures every day in the press.

Appreciate you injecting a political inference into the thread. Well done.

Well, he was an oenophile.

So after reading the articles linked to, am I to understand that the only evidence to back any of this up is a single comment allegedly made 25 years ago, which Carlton denies having made, basically just referencing some nut job conspiracy theory, to a reporter who himself says Carlton is definitely not racist or anti Semitic?
It’s pretty thin.

So it's sort of like jeopardy?
We can dodge that rule by making any opinion be in the form of a question? Good to know. |

Is Steve being sarcastic here ?

Steve the Poster or Steve the Carlton?

Sure thing....dodge until I see it. The way I read it the OP asked a legitimate question and didn't give an opinion of a person or company.

LOL, I guess this begs the question, can one be an Anti-Semite, without being a racist and visa versa?
I think I know the answer and nearly all the possible responses, but let the chicken and the egg scenarios begin. I apologize ahead of time for stirring up sh*t in this thread. |

To me the question came across as odd, since I wasn't aware of any controversy. I suppose someone running across that old article might have questions. It just seemed odd at first. |

Asking a question like that is close enough to stating an opinion or making an accusation. I wouldn't want anyone starting a thread like that, that questions my integrity, especially if they were allowed to remain anonymous. And I'm pretty sure Mr. Carlton would feel the same way if he ever stumbled upon this site and thread.

Just asking a questions isnt' just asking when one of the answers would mean you are a socially unacceptable person... or like when my wife asks me, what are you doing this weekend? i always afraid to answer because one of the answers may be wrong..

I still don't get the notion of hiding behind a screen name. On a forum discussing health issues, sure, there's a privacy concern. But baseball cards?

There are also unhinged people in the world who can do a lot of damage with a name and some locally identifying details. Everyone's employer is only an e-mail away and people are free to make up anything they want.

The video makes for a stark contrast. Mr. Carter was such a class act, yet when I see Bill Mastro speaking, it makes my skin crawl.

I agree 100%
I agree, if you don't have any conviction in what you are saying don't say it. Even if you are anonymous or if your name is out there.

During almost all of this period, my son was being victimized through most of his school years. If it wasn't verbal abuse, it was, for example, tossing his new gym sneakers into a toilet bowl full of feces. These were not rare occurrences - it was incessant. AND, these sort of things carried over to social media. (it was all heartbreaking, to say the least, and still is today). So, I kept my full name off my posts, as it would have been easy pickins for the cretins to look me up and phuck with my son even more. I am happy to report that this all ended when he entered college. Hence I am a bit overdue in finally using my full name. (Anyway, at least 100 members have known my name through the BST, private deals or just plain community friendship). Hence, I gotta lotta opinions stored up after all this time so all youse (sic) better watch out! And so, I have to believe there are many anons here that have legit reasons, if not exactly my own, to be so on a baseball card forum |

How many people can (could) search and find your full name the way you have it masked now? I think you would have been safe even back then. The reason the name rule is the way it is, is because there are legit reasons for being anonymous. Otherwise, it wouldn't be allowed and all real names would be mandatory. It would be easier to manage that way, that is for sure.
