Baseball Card corruption

Marshall, one of the reason that this thread is 192 posts is that 35 of them are yours. Come on here, insult a few people, and they fire back at you. This thread would have been dead at 35 posts if you were able to just move on. There's nothing interesting or entertaining about that. Frankly, I continue to post in this thread because I'm bored, not because I'm entertained. I suspect that others feel the same.

Second point: You "partied" with a bunch of early 90s Seattle rock stars? I would be willing to bet that not one of them knows you, and on the off chance that one does, I'd bet they don't consider you someone they "partied" with. I would guess that would be the second bet I offered you in this thread that you were unwilling to take.

Third point: I visited your website and Myspace page that haven't been updated in two years. It's not my policy to poke at what interests people or what they do for a living, and on this particular message board, I'm not a music reviewer. So that doesn't leave me with much to say. However, I would suggest that dropping the kinds of names you're dropping is a mistake when you don't know the people you're dropping them to. Marilyn Manson and Layne Staley do not impress me. If you had some prewar baseball card knowledge, which clearly you do not, THAT would impress me. That's why I am a member of this board, and that's why many people here have built the type of relationships with each other that you clearly are incapable of having.

Fourth point: The fact that people like Daniel and Barry and Joann are taking pokes at you is not something you should be wearing as a badge of honor. Those are people who respect the integrity of this community, and who have earned the respect of their peers here. Ask how often I get involved in flame wars on message boards - almost never. Same with the three people I mentioned above. If you had taken the time to learn about this board before you began yammering on with your 20-year-old song lyrics, perhaps you would have realized that there are better ways to introduce yourself to a party than by being the drunk guy vomiting on the living room rug.

Being so lonely must really suck.
