Of course, the irony is that Trent is the one who derailed a perfectly good thread, by starting to whine. And another thing. Making comparisons, or placing things in a larger context, is not off topic. Only to you.

Off topic = any post by a person he doesn't like or expresses a different view from what he thinks is acceptable. I mean, any post by a fly that needs shooing away. If that means he needs to cuss out anyone who thinks the statistics suggest Kaline was Clemente's equal, attack folks for being against lynching people, or hijacking threads in an exercise of stunning hypocrisy, then by God he must do it, for it's the right thing to do anyways. None of us can post about the actual subject and issues very literally and directly in the original post, but he can veer off into anything because he's defending the watercooler from these dangerous flies. The hero we need, but don't deserve.

Peter and 1911- nope, wrong (again). The original thread was about Arod,
you 2 geniuses absolutely refuse to stay on topic, I pointed it out. 1911s
insane diversions and Peter's butthurt definitions aside ("whining"
is observing, got it Peter- makes perfect sense), you 2 clones deserve each
other. Suggestion- start a thread called "Short Attention Span Theater" and
STAY THERE. One of you can start a topic about potato chips and in 3 posts
you'll be discussing the best variety of lawn seed. It'll be riveting, I'm sure.
Tell your friends, tell your enemies- must see internet muscles all day, as
you both have to prove the wealth of knowledge you believe you possess.

Actual topic got derailed by you, it was a fun topic for ARod bashers.
Thank you for that, well done as usual... Go back to whatever it was you
mentioned next- the best expectorants on the market, was it? Thanos
finger snap...

Have you ever noticed that every time you bitch about posts going off topic, you are the ONLY one? And then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because the thread shifts away from the subject to your own bitching. Why don't you give the forum police thing a rest, eh?

But here, let me get back to Alex Rodriguez, OK?

Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez.

Speaking of J Lo, is it just me of does her and Ben Afflack seem like an odd matchup?

And they are on their 2nd go round.

I'd lay the house on they will both have others for partners within about a year or 2, but they just seem like an odd couple.

I liked her better with Arod (the Prick) - getting back on topic.

Now there is a Poll:

J Lo or Jennifer Garner ?


Can't go wrong with either, nice job Afflack.

So... why wouldn't A-Rod's be retired, if the Yankees will retire the numbers of Steroid users? He was a far better player than Pettitte.

Seems like common sense that he would, thus, both qualify and merit number retirement.
This is the innocuous post that made this board go crazy and our regular nutball spaz out. It is not even off topic at all, they just do not like it not participating in an approved circlejerk. It is about A-Rod. It is about the issues raised in the OP. It is 100% on topic, it's just not circlejerking his viewpoint. That is not what off-topic means lol

This is somehow still less stupid than half this guys previous public meltdowns, such as his anger at reading a post against literally lynching people one doesn't like. That one he probably won't ever be able to beat. The bar is just too high now.

He went nuts on me earlier for suggesting it was hard to evaluate ARod's numbers in context because we don't really know who was clean and not in the steroid era. OMG.

At least we aren’t that poor guy who just said he thought Al Kaline and Roberto Clemente were both great but he thought Kaline edged it and this nutter accused of being a cocaine addict for saying that. He is a hilarious combination of sheer stupidity and over the top insane anger. Can’t wait for the next time he goes apeshit and off topic over an innocuous statement he’s too mental to even read and understand. This moron started his vendetta with me over a tiny joke in a PWCC thread about PWCC’s fraud that sent him ballistic. At least get triggered over one of the 50 controversial things I’ve said here instead.

Peter and 1911-

Boy, reality is just so uncooperative sometimes-

1) You 2 were in a lather at 1 in the morning (!!), the night before last over
my remarks. But I'm the "nut"- sounds like a comment right out of your
playbooks. Maybe I'm the one inside your heads? Nah, you're both too
esteemed for that, I'm just sure...

2) 1911- you need real psychological help. I'd recommend taking an extra
inhaler and wearing your nicest jorts for the sessions.

3) Life's really good, thanks for being so concerned. Cool start to the Series,
college football today, been acquiring cards and really enjoying the hobby.

4) Arod is still a turd. There's really nothing else to say- "It's only you and
me, and we just disagree". You are a waste of space.

I was ripping your bizarre and occasionally violent rants as late as at 10:46pm, not 1am.

And... OFF TOPIC YET AGAIN!
