[flvegan]

Eat that long diatribe, hater. I know it's coming. We all do. It's like a rinse after a lather.

You can't rain on the Red Sox Nation.

BTW, the name is Papelbon. Learn it, live it, love it.

17. would you like a hankie?

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Why would I? I wanted the Red Sox to win

:shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

43. then what's with all the posts about payroll?

that sounds like the kind of stuff bitter yankee haters would post.

[alcibiades_mystery]

44. It does indeed sound like that

It sounds exactly like what bitter Yankee haters would post.

Interesting, that...

:-)

[Danger Mouse]

48. bitter yankee haters, in other words, red sox fans..

so you're being ironic.
fair enough.

[fizzgig]

28. hey, at least a real team won

right?

[alcibiades_mystery]

29. Absolutely!

:-)

[Beausoir]

37. Ack! Your spam is terrible. Yuck. I was rooting for the Sox. But your posts are so spammy.

We got it.

Many posts ago.

[alcibiades_mystery]

42. I don't get it

Why my posts are "spam" and the thousand "Go Sox" posts are not is a mystery to me. I guess I'm just dense. I'm doing the same thing, with a different twist. I'm allowed to comment in a reasonable way about the World Series, I suspect. And that's all I'm doing.

Cheers! :hi:

[yewberry]

46. What's not to get?

Your posts are spam because you, an individual poster, made the same post dozens of times.
The "Go Sox" posts, unless they were made dozens of times by the same individual, are not.

One poster saying the same thing over and over again is spam; many posters saying the same thing is agreement, or, in this case, shared enthusiasm. Pretty simple, really.

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. Hmmm

I thought you were going to settle that point with the moderators days ago. And yet none of my posts have been deleted.

Here's why, in my view:

1) I didn't make the same post again and again. My posts always covered new information. Now, some people did this by referring to the "Sox." I did it by refering to the "Massively Favored Red Sox Juggernaut" or some other variation. You think it's the same post because it says that each time. But I was usually commenting on new stuff.

2)"The "Go Sox" posts, unless they were made dozens of times by the same individual, are not." - This is truly hilarious. So, what's your quota. If a Red Sox fan posts "Go Sox!" 8 times during the world series, is that spam? 20 times? Every time the Red Sox get a hit? It's a ridiculous argument. Indeed, the OP for this very thread has posted essentially the same content in numerous posts IN THIS THREAD. You're going to hurt yourself with those stretches. Even the Red Sox fans would be embarrassed by the argument that they limited their "Go Sox" posts to avoid "spam." It's absurd.

[yewberry]

49. You really thought I'd bother the mods with THAT?

Please. There are real problems to deal with here, and spam about the Red Sox hardly rates.

1) Rewording your posts after having had it pointed out to you that your posts were ever-so-slightly repetitive hardly means that you were posting new information. OooOooO, clever ploy.

2) One person can be asked to refrain from posting the same thing over and over and over. Dozens of people cannot be asked to refrain from posting something once. No quota, no stretching, no absurdity.

[alcibiades_mystery]

50. So you're accustomed to accusing people

of rule breaking without doing anything formal about it, even when doing something formal rather than accusing is one of the rules? Sounds like an unfounded smear to me, then. Shit or go sail, arbiter.

1) Alert it

2) I'm not talking about dozens posting something once. I'm talking about the same person posting the same content dozens of times. To claim that Sox fans on these boards didn't post dozens of "Go Sox" post EACH stretches credulity, and really displays the pathetic weakness of your argument.

But none of that matters. On this board, in our little society, you don't get to decide what is spam and what is not unless you are a moderator. So, you calling my posts spam is essentially meaningless, like a five-year old "convicting" a teacher of boringness. It's not a rule violation. It's just your opinion. Good. I have an opposite opinion. We're even.

[yewberry]

57. Accusing people?

You broke rules, I cited rules politely (as required by rules), you suggested I alert. I didn't bother, because, while annoying, it certainly didn't seem important.

1) Why bother? The series is only seven games, max, and the mods have real fish to fry.

2) Oh? Individual Sox fans posting dozens of repeat messages? Let's see what the search function puts up for you in the Lounge for one day regarding the Red Sox:

You're free to say what you want, certainly. The rules here are pretty fluid, but clear on spamming. Do not spam the message board by posting the same message repeatedly...
Your opinion is "Every new score is new evidence of the claim. Oh, and my posts will be in response to the ending of each game, which is a new event, is it not? I'll be sure to phrase them to mark that difference." So, sure, you've changed a few words while posting the same thing over and over again.

Congratulations.

We may have different opinions, pumpkin, but we're hardly "even."

[alcibiades_mystery]

61. The rule is clear

Your interpretation is your opinion.

A moderator could decide our difference, but you don't want to "bother them with THAT."

So, we are even, sweetie.

[cboy4]

52. He's simply saying that the Red Sox not surprisingly

beat Colorado, considering they spent the appropriate amount of money to get the job done

What's wrong with you?

You have the right to celebrate Boston winning, but he has every right to say what he wants to say.

This is a discussion board. It's not Boston Red Sox Underground.

[Breeze54]

54. Because he's been repeating the same post for a week!!

And the Colorado Rockies have also spent money, just like all the teams have.
What he's saying is that it was money, not talent that helped the Red Sox win
and that's BS and an insult to the Colorado Rockies and the Cleveland Indians too!

The fact is that the New York Yankee's spend the most of any team and they lost!!

[cboy4]

55. It's okay that he's repeating it Breeze, just like it's okay

for Red Sox fans to start numerous GO Red Sox threads.

It's just a game. There's no need for hostility.

[Breeze54]

56. I wasn't being hostile but he is...

and that's why he's doing it at every opportunity. I've just laughed at him but
he's been following some others around and repeating it, as if the fans have
any control over what the team owners do. :silly: What ever trips his trigger. :P

[alcibiades_mystery]

68. 1) I have not been hostile

2) I haven't followed anyone around. You got that one backwards.

Go celebrate and stop worrying about what I post.

[alcibiades_mystery]

69. Hooray!

So it's NOT about payroll. Good. Let's be consistent with that. Payroll doesn't matter now, it hasn't mattered in the past, and it won't matter in the future. Lovely!

[yewberry]

58. What's wrong with me?

Yes, he has the right to say what he wants to say.

I have the right to point out that he's said the same thing dozens of times.

[alcibiades_mystery]

67. Yes, you can "point out" whatever you want

Just like me.

Opinion, opinion. You alert it, someone decides. Until then, you're just spouting off. And your post count on this subject is starting to fit your own criteria...:rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

62. No shit, eh?

[crim son]

9. Learn it, live it, love it.

What was your girlfriend saying about you turning into a freak? :P

Another GRAND night! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

15. RED SOXXX NATION!!!!! WHUTTTTTTTT!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!

[rockymountaindem]

16. Well played

Though I've been sporting the Rockies avatar since September I gotta congratulate the Sox as they are my favorite AL team. I'm just glad this emotionally trying series is over.

Go Sox!

And as for the Rockies, I hate to see them looking dejected in the dugout. They put together an unbelievable run and made us all proud. Hats off to them, see ya in February.

[Droopy]

18. Fuck the Red Sox

And fuck Papelbon. Learn it, love it, fuck it.

[Danger Mouse]

19. aww...

:cry:

[midnight armadillo]

22. i always love a sore loser

:nopity:

[Droopy]

26. I ain't playin' no violin

I'm a Reds fan. I was rooting for the Rockies tonight because I have a close friend in Denver who is a Rockies fan and goes to most of their games. I also root for the underdog when I don't have a team in the mix.

[midnight armadillo]

23. i always love a sore loser

:nopity:

[flvegan]

21. Papelbon...Wild Thing...Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SallyMander]

24. YEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I'll be going to bed a happy, happy member of Red Sox Nation!

YEEEEAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

32. RED SOX NATION!!! World Series Champs!!!!!

Big thanks to the Rockies. Damn, but that is a tough team. We can talk payroll, and it would cause me to give even more credit to the Rox.

THANKS, ROX!!

[rockymountaindem]

34. You're welcome

But the only way the joy could have been taken out of a Sox championship for me has happened, they had to beat the Rockies to do it. What a crappy series this was for me. I'm glad it's over.

[flvegan]

36. Hey, the Rockies are one HELL of a ballteam.

As much as I love the Sox, as much as I love the Bosox staff, they had to beat on opportunity, one fucking hellulva baseball team.

[rockymountaindem]

38. I'm as surprised as anybody

I would have been happy at the beginning of the year if someone told me they would have finished 3rd. This world series run came out of nowhere. If they manage to hold the team together and replicate this next year, or even come relatively close, I'll be shocked.

[flvegan]

39. Do NOT mention next year.

Let us rejoice now.

*wink*

[rockymountaindem]

35. Dupe

This place is going really slow all of a sudden...

Hang in there.

41. Thank you, Red Sox and Red Sox Nation!!

Yesss!!

Wish I was chilling in dt Boston tonight. w00t!

Jamaica Plain to Dorchestah, Woostah to Quinzee, New Befid to Sandwich tah P-Town...

Bask in it, Nation. w00t!!!

[FunkyLeprechaun]

45. YAY!!!

From someone who was there in 2004... Cornwell's bar across the road (just under the BU bookstore). Strangers hugged and kissed me then... I'm sorry I'm missing this now.... congratulations and congrats to the next 23 year old gal that gets kissed and hugged by a stranger (as I was 23 when the red sox last won the world series).

[Breeze54]

[Highway61]

71. I am sooooo happy

I still can't believe it twice...in four years. I heard on ESPN this morning that the Red Sox...for the FIRST ...time have a bigger following than the Yankees, actually growing over the past two years significantly. The worm has turned! So proud of Lester...what a comeback from his battle! Wish I was in Boston to see the "Duck" go down the Charles!!! I be there is spirit:toast:
