Is there any logical reason we allow Cubs fans on this board? I mean the Pirates fans that show up are knowledable, decent, fun to chat with guys. The Brewers guy is cool, I think we had a Reds fan once that was tolerable too, but these [expletive] Cubs fans. They just show up to be [expletive] [expletive] which of course they are because they are Cubs fans.

Report any posts you have trouble with. I poked my head in a couple of the Cub threads and saw the new guys. It seemed to me that they were politely making their points, but I could have missed something.

Also, Michael and several of the original members here were NSBB members first. Not likely that we'd ever discourage Cub fans from coming here.

From what I gathered, there was one real Cubs troll (and Radbird took care of him). Everyone else is reasonable. TT is gold. I wish he'd post more often!

The only other-team fan group that annoyed me was that 2 month glut of Reds fans a few years ago, who were just dickish. TT, signthief, TimeIsNow etc are level headed, know much more about baseball than I do, and know to do their real Cards bashing on their respective home forums.

Don't forget the Great Brewer Fan Rash of 2011.

We don't have ideas or solutions or strategies anymore. Everything is now known as a "hack". And it's stupid.

Yes.

I've also started seeing a trend where people have started calling every photo with people in it a selfie.

Uh, if you didn't take the picture of yourself, it's not a selfie, it's just a picture.

Don't forget Jake from Pittsburgh. Although apparently he has forgotten about us.
