A New Normal?
A lot of us have noticed and appreciated the kinder, more civil tone to this discussion board the last few days (and a couple of missing posters?).

Thanks to SSUSA staff for allowing this website to return to what it was intended to be.

Let's play ball!

Certainly does illustrate the behavior
of the majority in comparison to a few.

Before we had the technology to do what
we do here on this message board, we
had to show up somewhere for a cause.
And when we did, if there happend to be
a couple individuals who chose violence
or to incite violence, people got hurt.
Here at least nobody gets physically
hurt however even verbal violence is
still wrong.

Marv, I agree with you be careful what you wish for. It is a lot more peaceful on the board and I believe that my blood pressure has come down. I am sure that something will cause it to go up but I will enjoy the moment. Thanks Harry

There is a whole new feeling-I love the ribbing some guys are giving others. I also have noticed a lot of names I haven't seen before. It is a rare game we play on the field that we don't enjoy the other teams-thats one reason we travel-- to play new teams. The board should have the same comaraderie and respect for differing opinions. Merry Christmas , everyone!!

I agree. Lately I felt when I logged on I was in the middle of one of those bad calls by an umpire. You know when everybody is screaming. It is nice to see others post for a change. I would suspect that it could be a little intimidating for some to think they may get jumped on by some people for sharing an opinion. I know I have a couple of flesh wounds myself.:O) But here is the weird part. Scroll though the various titles and you will not see some obvious names in any of the topics. Can it be the God of sanity has been at work? :O) Merry Christmas! X... still crossed

Yes, it's definitely an early Christmas present! Hopefully it will continue into the new year.

I have no problems with differing opinions. It's what makes this or any board worthwhile! We should be able to discuss varying opinions w/civility.

The real deal, Are you referring to the pitcher rubber post? If you are I am a little slow sometimes well most of the times. Thanks Harry
