Aug. 23, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What do you think? Can't make a slow team game dynamically slower and keep up interest and investment and rightly so. Less gratification of slower game through dumber equipment means less participation ACROSS THE BOARD. Only elite players or slow players will favor dumbed down equipment. |
Aug. 23, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What do you think? Cool, Jeff. Gary. Both get raised. |
Aug. 23, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character Hey Bob. The overwhelming majority will not support going less than the present standard of good 44x375 balls and senior level bats. They've voted as in the SPA survey and all you have to do is ask us and we'll tell you. Good bats and balls works for us, the great majority of us. We don't need to attack or denigrate anyone but Bob, listen to me. No one is gonna or supposed to take it. If SSUSA doesn't defend us from personal attacks we are left to defend ourselves as we need and see fit. Wouldn't you say? |
Aug. 23, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What do you think? No. It's the wizard and the wand. Better equipment raises the level of play and positively effects play. Softball is not golf. It's a team sport and needs pace, speed and action to sustain itself. Lively bats and balls help create more interest, participation, motivation and gratification to sustain interest and player investment. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character There are important issues about -bats/balls, -HR's as singles/outs -5 run innings -Bat Cheating -screens -website decorum, -pitcher conduct/style -safety -website standards -personal accountability -responsibility -common decency -common sense -disparaging comments -player centric softball philosophy -association/manufacturer centric softball philosophy and the darling of the new softball order, Free defensive substitution just to name a few, all of which drive ground and color all the discussions. To see the bickering is not paying attention or getting what is going on. The great majority of those who read, play and talk about what we are saying get us, who's who and care about and know who's zoomin' who. There's a movement a foot that would favor some manufacturers and associations regarding the caliber of balls bought and used and it needs to be checked and examined for its value and necessity to us and our game. I get much encouragement from friends, players and colleagues through various media and in person for fighting the good fight and daring to represent the players, our interests what we want and stand for. |

Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character That's impossible, son. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character C'mon, Mark. And while I nodded nearly napping, Suddenly Mark started rapping somewhat louder than before. Saying something? Nevermore. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character Don't you guys get that a real competitor doesn't hear the cries, taunts even praises of "the crowd", the herd, the anonymous ones who often belch and fart phrases and only when hidden and protected by the thickness and odor of the pack. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character "Respite, respite and Nepenthe". What a relief you two, Mark and Jeff. Real people, accountable and identifiable what a blessing and tonic for the spirit. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character More unaccountable characters. Goodie. I'm starting to wake up. What makes you think any of us or the super majority of us have any respect for anyone who doesn't have the guts, dignity or self respect to identify himself to another human being he's being critical of. Let's let that reverberate and sink in a little more. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character There's nothing healthy or good about being a well adjusted to a sick or unfair society. How do like them apples, fellas and gals? Gary you disingenuous poser. Garocket. I'd give you a formal welcome back if you ever told us who you were? |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character That's not what I meant and you know it, Mark. Its refers to the web site's clowns. Need a lesson in english give me a call. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character SSUSA's abdication of it's role as site superviser/operator parented the major conflicts we've seen on this site. They haven't taken enough of a stand in defense of community against below the belt attacks by unscrupulous attackers. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character And Captain Kirk, Spock or whoever you are. There's nothing healthy about being well adjusted to a sick/unfair society. Captain Kirk. That's hysterical. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character Great comment, Dave and telling. I am judged by my community and not by the website's administrators and its clowns. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character This comes out of SSUSA unwillingness to accept responsibility as the authoritative operator of this sight and to enforce as per its own standards in its and our behalf. We have the right if not need to defend OURSELVES if SSUSA will not defend us from attacks. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character This clown won't identify himself or the utter filth and characterlessness of his repeated attacks with any apology and then we do know he's a proponent of the 52x275 ball? Who is he and what purposes and masters does he truly serve? And now he wants to kiss and make up? Get the F outa here! You're accountable, son whether you want to be or not. We, the community who have been paying attention know and can sense exactly what's going and who's who and the longer and more this gets played out the clearer it will all become. SSUSA need to uphold its community and standards of the web site and remove disparaging individuals/responses from our midst. Check on Gary C and look at the character of his responses and then check mine if you have ANY doubt about what I'm saying. Gary and SSUSA. You're not fooling anyone and the longer this all plays out the clearer it will ALL become. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character But Rodman had REAL game, G which is why everyone put up with this stuff, including the refs. This community knows the difference between Gary C and me and SSUSA would like me out of the way for more than one reason, I suspect. |
Aug. 22, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Character Gary C's only mantra is to antagonize me and getting me kicked off the site. If you don't see that you are blind or have another interest in his behavior and effect. |
