    You might be busy for the next hour and 45 minutes as I may have 5, 10, or even 20 more posts in me for today. But at 5:00 P.M., that is the end of my workday. Then real life takes over. Maybe one of these days, you'll get to experience it, Fin-Dawg.

    Nope, not any more. The post I quoted has sold me and convinced me I was wrong about my earlier statement. I don't know why I thought otherwise....

    Yea, I guess he does with the International Submarine Band. Then came his short time in The Byrds followed by The Flying Burrito Brothers.

    For someone who has this "great life", you sure are concerned about mine. Why so, friend?

    Well I don't need your faux concern. Maybe I am acting "jackassish" to you because you deserve it. If you want to continue this little discussion further, email me through the board. This thread doesn't need this crap.

    hmmm.

    emailing you through the board doesn't sound very fun. After you decided to go personal I don't think I want to leave this basket of dirty laundry sitting here.

    I think it should be hung out to dry a bit.


    You see I know you'd like to think I deserve it because I'm just moes, why is moes always ragging on me, why is he such a jackass all the time, what did I ever do?

    Lets not play that card this time. First of all I'd like to apologize for derailing this thread and I assure the members of the board that if this was my own personal issue on the matter I'd take it up with Manny on a personal level. I but I've talked to many other posters about this... and I feel I'm voicing more of a consensus here. Now I may be going out of my way to be a jackass (ala SJC/MacBeth), and I freely admit that. But you cannot honestly sit there and call me obsessive and say I have no life. That is unjustified and particularly ironic coming from yourself, sir. Patronizing me by calling me "fin-dawg" certainly sounds like you're still trying to be that ever popular "internet tough guy" who roams the streets of the interweb looking to lay a fresh beat down.

    This is not what this is about. This is about BBS justice. and I'm making myself look like the obsessive one here, but again... If it were only me who felt this way I'd see the point. But i'm not alone here. There are people who feel as I do, that you've been a lark on this board for a long time.

    Maybe you should just stick to talking about sports... but oh, you're really not too insightful on sports. Maybe we should ask that "Fernandez" Guy... whatever happened to him? He seemed to really know his stuff. Oh well, no matter.

    Getting personal and digging up old dirt isn't the road you want to go down Manny, which is I think why you suddenly want to take this to the email. Public BBS humiliation is not something the non-obsessive Manny Ramirez cares about though I'm sure.

    Again, I understand by pestering you I'm painting myself as the jackass, and that is what it will look like as long as you continue to act like you're oblivious and haven't done anything questionable.

    But lets not all be that fooled shall we. Theres been an awful lot of drama going on around the Board lately, and I don't know if I we want that little trend to continue when it involves our actual lives... oh I'm sorry i mean those of us who actually have them, myself excluded.

    In short, apologizes for calling you out.... It really wasn't my intent to start this, but again... you made it personal. You did only a week ago say you were going to hang it up at 17k... but when the first "music" thread pops up you saw it and you fought the urge for a while... but after nobody voiced an elitist opinion you just couldn't take it anymore so you quickly hit reply and rattled off 20 names of bands you really don't care about that much but the consensus among the know-it-alls is that they are great bands so you might as well throw that out there to keep the posters here believing you're still their music demigod.

    Nobody wants to be something they're not...

    Best Regards...

    Fernandez.
