My Buss Ride in High School
You know when I was a boy in High School. Almost every day at the bus stop and on the bus trip to school there were these two ignorant idiots that were always trying to out do each other. One got a new jacket and the other would make fun of it and criticize it. The the other would call him names and back and forth, back and forth. Little did they know the rest of us were just not that impressed. We sometimes would say ''knock it off'' or ''chill out a little'' But it didn't matter as they were hell bent on showing us how stupid they really were. This went on for most of the rest of the year with neither one ever scoring any real points. Then I got a car. But I've wondered lately what ever became of those two. Why is it when I log on to read or post some really important stuff I feel like I'm on that buss all over again? Does anyone else feel the same way?

If one day one of those guys said:
"I hear what you're saying and I
respect your opinion. We don't see it
the same and that's ok. Maybe if you
could hear me and respect my opinion
as well, we could be friends and get
along?"

i agree marv,it has become that.i post about the ball but get nothing but grief from just one individual here,to the point that he has called me a bat doctor for no reason,and also with something to gain.the rest who don't care for what i post will just say that and usually give a post on why,another-wards a discussion goes on.

marv as i posted in another thread to someone,i don't you,you don't me,so what,its what you posted that should be prevalent,not a name.

I have offered a truce many times and been attacked by Joey. I have offered to leave the site if he did the same and he won't do it. I did not start this war he attacked me as a player and a person after my first post asking about league bats. He was attacking people long before I came on this site. I will not be bullied by this guy. It's easy to sit back and say be a bigger man when it's not you being called every name in the book. Look back at posts he dose not agree with and you will see the kind of bully he really is

Your quotes are great but do you have any thoughts of your own?
