Are you not a proponent of free speech? There's no caveat in that for "condescending" or "egomaniacal" speech or for people who you feel "have it coming." To this point, you're the only person who has done something remotely illegal, which was using a computer to make threats against another person and then subsequently seeking address information for that person. He doesn't owe you anything, you don't owe him anything, you both owe us all to just shut the f*ck up and get over it. |

Good point, Terps, honestly. But I'll always use my loose interpretation of the "Fighting Words" Doctrine to justify my feelings. You can't just say what you want to people and not get popped in the jaw at some point. I think that needs to be established on all boards. Condescendion is certainly arguable as instigative to starting a fight. It's certainly insulting and capable of bringing out that emotion to fight, especially as consistantly and as long as Mattingly23 has been doing it. |

Cano, stop the sh*t. If he bothers you so much ignore him, period. It's not that hard. You think you're making yourself look tough with your cursing and threats, but you're coming off as a typical "Internet Tough Guy." Who the hell threatens to beat people up over the Internet? Do you realize how stupid you come off as? Matt, why don't you just ignore this guy? There is nothing we can do as a staff. If we ban him, he'll just make a new name and come right back. There is no way to stop him. If you really feel threatened, contact the police or his ISP. They can take his Internet services away for making these threats, even more so now that he posted your home address. Crying to Invisionfree and trying to get the whole board shut down for everybody else is just stupid, and makes no sense. On to Giambi. I am the authority on fatness, the guy is not fat. He's a big guy. Fat is Justin. Fat is me. Fat is Chris Farley. Fat is Star Jones. Posted Image {Taken last month) That is NOT fat. At all. That is a big guy, with some meat on him. But to call him a "fatass" is stupid. Posted Image He may have a fat face, which resembles a tomato at times. But look at his body, he's not fat. (notice his hand!) |

Why does it matter if his face is fat looking? It's his skills that count. If he is 'fat' but has a great season fielding/hitting the ball then that's all that matters. Hell we are hating on Giambis weight. [sarcasm]I think Cano is too skinny. Posted Image Just look at him. No fat on his twig like body. I think he is belimic :o FIGHT. :rolleyes: [/sarcasm] |

That honestly made my bloodboil more than anything Mattingly23 has ever posted. Thanks. It's just devoid of any of the wrong Mattingly23 has done, all his instigating to other posters, not myself, that let to my hatred for him. He's an egomaniac. It's taken a lot of resolve for me not to do anything to him. I hate him in a degree that I hope some of you guys never live to understand. You feel helpless having it, because the only reaction is to do something. Ban me. I don't care. It will save my sanity. Trust me. If you guys are too f*cked up to realize the scumbag, shitbag human being Mattingly23 is, f*ck it. I'm gone. I've had it. This board is cool in terms of talking sports, but it's negated when jackoffs can't see Mattingly23 for what he is. I don't mean you all, but even the ones that tell me to calm down, open YOUR f*ckING EYES. Our society doesn't function the way Mattingly posts here, insulting others without ramifications. Regardless of what anyone thinks of me, I've never pulled no punches. I talk to people like I would in person; I'm not a phoney ****** f*ck like Mattingly that hasn't an eighth of a nutsack, that feels comfortable as hell posting on a message board and antagonizing others for no reason. |

Cano, dude. Just stop. There's nothing we can do to restrict how someone's personality is. He isn't breaking rules....you just don't like how he comes off. That's out of our hands. You do know that, right? He isn't breaking our COC...you just don't like him as a person. Stay out his way, and he'll stay out of yours. If you can't deal with one person on this board, then so be it.......do what you wish. But just know that there's nothing we as a staff can do about his personality......just live with it or ignore him. That's it. Nice job on ruining another thread though. |

It's bannable if you pay attention to it. He's a viscious scumbag. Hell, look at the "He's BACKKKKKKKKKKKKK" thread, as he tries to mock me for being a "wannabe scout," as he follows with wrong information. Hell, he should have been made fun of for that at least, not necessarily banned, but it was certainly a flame job on his part. But yet, no one cared. He's flamed for years. The ironic part is it took me flaming directly at him for people to have the problem; the thing is it's at me. He flames like crazy, if you want to get technical. But no one cares because he does it subtly most of the time, and he knows better to do it to people like Rob. I'm trying my heart out badly. I feel I'm making 1000% complete sense, but no one seems to care. It just baffles me. I'm honest to God, this f*cker is a piece of sh*t, not remotely innocent. Just f*cking LOOOK!!!! I feel like Frank Grimes trying to point out Homer Simpson's ineptitude. Nobody cares to see it, but it's there. |

I really am talking to a wall. I feel I owe the attempt though. This stuff is real. It's real he has an ego, it's real he instigates, has instigated, and will continue to instigate because of his ego and lack of accountability for his actions. It's real that he's a piece of sh*t. Maybe seeing it typed doesn't do reality justice, but seriously, Christ, you think I'm this angry at that f*cker by ACCIDENT!!!!! I've had civilized baseball convos with mostly everyone here. I didn't think I was a liability to this board like some f*cker who's biggest incite of the day is "Giambi's sliding into 2nd base is the epitome of silliness." Perhaps perception is not reality. Perhaps it's better to talk about retired families in Arizona, silliness, and what type of fan you should be than our hitters swings, our pitchers reportoires, scouting on players in the league and so forth Homie, I want your IM or something before I go. I enjoy talking to you and see no reason not to continue that. Strider, you're my boy. We'll talk a lot hopefully in some other manner. |

Dude....I hear what you're saying, but for you to not post here anymore because of it is a bit childish. I've had my fair share of problems with people on this board (including M23) but have I left for more than a day? No. Because I enjoy it too much here to let one or a few people ruin it for me. I ignore people who act stupid.....most of the time. It doesn't serve a purpose to argue with them on a message board....and most of the time you're not gonna get people to jump into it because they don't wanna be involved in a flame war. The first remark he makes to you that you don't like, you need to end it right there. He's not going to keep doing it if you don't respond.....and vice-versa. It takes two to argue. Remember that. It's a shame if you decide to not post here because of one person though......but, do as you wish. We can't stop you from leaving. |

Cano, I see where you're going with this. Many of us have had problems with Matt23 in the past, including Strider and I, but just do what I did and let the dislikement not become involved in sports talking. I also got pissed at him once since he was insulting a lot of other people and once he got to me, I just had it. However, you're really taking it over the edge by knowing his home and work address. Just let it go. You're one of the most active posters here, so seeing you banned would definitely not help. |

I like you Ray, but I've addressed that for a long while. Mattingly23 would love it for me to post here and not respond to his sh*t. He has never EEEEEVER(Chris Jericho-like sound) shown the ability to refrain from condescendion and insults on here, that's just engrained in his shitty personality too much to stop now. I tried that twice, and it was a complete failure. He thought he could take even bigger shots, the pussy that he is. He's not going to change; I've recognized that. What I thought would change is people would stop and realize he was a pussy and that they weren't going to take his sh*t. Hasn't happened, because like you said, people don't want to get involved in a flame war. |

How can I not let the dislike overcome me when he comments like a dick to my stuff, even when I'm seriously trying to engage in real baseball conversation with others. Hell, just look at the He's BACKKKKKKKK thread. He tried to start sh*t, despite having his facts wrong. He didn't even apologize or admit he was wrong like others would do, since it's a humbling and better to do so. Plus, his stupid insult wasn't even an insult. Since none of us have jobs in MLB, NHL, NFL, we're all technically wannabes. It just shows how natural being a dick is for him. He rarely makes sense, but he's going to try anyways. He's not capable of a solid baseball conversation, so he compensates with insults, poor jokes, and general statements. I swear, you'll see it if you look for it. I swear on everything Holy. It's easy to know where someone posts from if they have Hotmail. Google Hotmail tracker and put in an address. That's easy. We're public domain on the internet. I don't know where his home address is. |

Take a Chill Pill my brotha. You're too good a poster to get caught up in that bullsheet. He's insulted me in the past, but bottom line is, I've learned not to let it get to me. I'm confident enough in myself that it honestly doesn't bother me what he or anyone else thinks of me. I know I have it happening and that's all that counts. You should be strong inside too. Remember, you're not some crusader out to rid the world of society's ills. If he bothers you, just ignore him. That'll be the best revenge!!!! :evilgrin: |

YB, it's not nearly as simple as that. Read what I said above about trying to ignore twice, in which he insulted with no accountability, and I'll bet you he enjoyed it. At least, I've effected him to the point he tries to act like a scared pussy and try and blackmail to get me banned. That shows at least I've jabbed his ego a little. Plus, ignoring to me is like quietly consenting and pretending there's no real problem. You better believe that f*cker and I have a problem. Sure, his problem with him is a little sparkler on the Fourth of July and mine is a Nuclear Bomb, but it's a problem both ways, and ignoring won't work, because it's already failed......TWICE |

Actually it is that simple. I have had a few skirmishes on here, but never to the extent of you two. That being said, it really is that simple to ignore someone's posts. It happens to Ray all the time. j/k Raymond :hug: |

I'm not a hero or crusader, but I'm still not convinced he doesn't deserve a major reality check. I probably do myself. It's just not right. |

Dude, one of the first times I ignored, I was PM'ed one of his first remarks was taking up the ass from Strider. Now, that may be true, but he's not a f*cking friend or in good standing with me to take that liberty. Ignoring him will lead him to taking liberties like crazy, and how the f*ck am I supposed to do that after ripping the sh*t out of him for months. It's like a heavyweight. I'm punching myself out here. He can't get in jabs when I'm throwing haymakers. His insults are that I have a part-time job, collect DVDs, and am a wannabe scout. Yeah, that's real insulting :rolleyes: If I let him get away with sh*t, all of sudden I'll be getting blind-sided haymakers. And the part that makes it inexcuable is nobody will do a thing about it. I'm like the boards Arn Anderson. I have to step in there with him or he runs amock. Hell, he's still pretty bad as it is. |

:please: You're not a cop of condescension and there's no accountability here for sheet like that, as much as you wish there was. . . It's not healthy to be a crusader. There are a lot of dickheads around and you just can't change the world no matter how hard you try. This crusader approach is obviously physically and mentally taxing to you and a waste of time because you'll never receive the results you want, no matter how much you spin your wheels. He's not gonna change no matter what you do so give yourself a break and chill out. :peace: |
