Tell you what. Let me pitch in the bigs for half of your salary and I'll passionately care about every single pitch I throw for as long as I am up in the bigs.

Think you're overreacting a little bit, weatherman?

he's just pricking you around, das. Dobie would have sacrificed a limb to pitch in the big leagues too.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

I know. I can control and am responsible for my actions/reactions/responses. I can't and have no desire to control his. I choose to be respectful regardless of whom is sitting across the table/room/internet from me.
That's a great attitude. I believe one can be somewhat irreverent without being disrepectful, but it's a fine line knowing when it's appropriate or not.

There's a time and place for everything. Mess with my friends or family, I'll react accordingly. Try to harm the helpless, vulnerable or destitute, likewise. I can't think of a single reason why something said on an anonymous bbs would be a reason to get your hackles raised, no matter how pedantic, uneducated or inflammatory the comment.
That said, last year, I had my first revelation that I actually "know" a bunch of you pretty well and that a large group of people that I have never met (save one) has migrated over to the "friend" category. I guess that's what happens when you spend a lot of time with people, even in a virtual sense.

Good times, eh? I can barely get any work done. Your county networks are going to appreciate the rain delay this afternoon, aren't they?
