Guidance requested

I would actually love to see him try. If he weren't such an all-around nut I might actually vote for him for entertainment purposes.

I guess I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I want to click "like" on a post.

When I get my vacation time built back up, I'd love to take a trip to the fantasy land you've created in your head. Glad to hear when you accused half the board of performing oral sex on me as a result of enjoying my insights, that wasn't personal.

My time here is done. Enjoy your little fiefdom, GPDIII.

This is complete nonsense. He never made those claims. He brought something interesting to the table. He said he was in the business of media valuations, valuations which were solicited by various conferences and used, in part, for the consideration of realignment candidates by the conferences. He didn't make outrageous claims and didn't say why anything specifically did or did not happen. He offered insight. He wasn't an expert on the matter of conference alignment and admitted so. If he was engaged politely he could have been an asset to the board. Instead, you and Carl Sparkles decided you wanted to run him off the board.

Now he wants to leave and the rest of us are stuck stepping over your quick-hitting vapidity and Carl Sparkles self indulgent essays. Seriously, you had some good opinions on the other board. I may not have always agreed with them but they were well reasoned and respectful. Now you're just that crazy guy in the neighborhood who walks around talking to himself really loudly. Carl Sparkles rambling descent into madness reminds me of Colonel Kurtz. I'd rather see you two run off the board if anyone has to go.

So much hate....

....can't wait until April 21st to be at the Spring Game!

keep in mind it seems like they switched back to 10 post pages instead of 20, so it's half as long as you might originally think

I liked the guy's insight too, and told him as much.

But he rips anyone's head off if they don't salute his posts as gospel, which is a red flag. And gets very personal when he does it. He also got a little stalker on me, which is another red flag.

I suspect that if he is really gone, it has more to do with some serious issues he has in interpreting ratings data in the "ACC" thread. He has gotten "Ratings" and "Share", and "TV Sets" and "Total Viewers" completely confused. And he did it twice, once after I had pointed out his mistake. Even an interested lay-person in TV marketing should know the difference between the three. If he is the expert he claims to be, he should know this stuff cold. This is the equivalent of a CPA confusing revenue and net income or an equity trader confusing bid and ask. It just doesn't happen.

George, your propensity for exaggeration is astounding for someone who should be a mature man. I made one post - ONE - mocking Sam (aka Carl Spackler) for his long-winded, self-important posts. ONE. Other than that, I did not utter a cross word to anybody. And, I certainly did not "rip" anybody's head off at any point, nor did I get personal.

And, I never "confused" ratings & TV share, TV sets & total viewers. I was on auto-pilot in one thread and referred to total viewers as ratings. It's no different than my mom & grandmother who repeatedly call me by my uncle's name, b/c I look like my uncle and they're far more used to seeing him around than me. It does not mean my mom & grandmother are confused about who's who..............they just simply are operating on auto-pilot. That was the same deal in that one post.

I'm not disappearing for good, only for now. There aren't any active threads right now that interest me. And, my free time is limited. When there are, I'll pop back up.

You need to look in the mirror, jackwad. Much of that (except the stalker part) fits you to a tee.

You have 1,902 posts and only 198 likes. Not a very good ratio.

I could probably set a monkey up with a computer, have it start banging away, and get a better ratio than you have.

You seem to think that shouting down anyone who disagrees with you makes you right. It just makes you annoying.

i'm living proof that a monkey with a keyboard can get a better ratio. that being said it's kind of silly to think of that nonsense as some kind of qualifying report card

i lost TicTacToe to a chicken at the bridgewater fair when i was in high school. the first time hurt a little, after the 3rd time beating me in a row i was pretty much shamed out of the sport

Did you choke the chicken?

Given the avatar, I think there might be some spanking of the monkey.......

And THIS ^^ is why Fishy has a good Post / Like ratio!! Well done, Fishy!

umm...that would place my ratio in the same neighborhood as "not very good". i like to think that is because our appeal is just a little more selective.

Since when was tic-tac-toe a sport?!

It's been a sport forever, but nobody started paying attention to it until 2002.
