      Dude, I only just saw this post! So I had to go back and see what I repped... yeah, Landon definitely has his quirks. Hard to believe his career will be winding down in the next couple of years. Seems like only yesterday we were calling him Baby Jesus...

      MasterShake once neg repped me in a MetroStars US Open Cup play by play thread b/c I made a one sentence remark about wanting pizza or something innocuous. I was "off-topic".

      Thanks, Bill. My moments aren't as frequent as yours, but I do have them. Nice of you to notice.

      Thank you sir. My folks used to live in Dalian, China... also known as Soccer City. There are soccer balls on EVRYTHING.

      BTW... I probably shouldn't have neg repped you... but there are some points (often right after giving up points on a tough call) when I'm not particularly rational. :p

      You're right. I don't know much about the Northwest before Tony Chursky's howler, although I did go to a game at the Kingdome a few weeks before it.

      The fact that I didn't reply to your comment concerning Ray Hudson in Dan Loney's blog post about the Hall of Fame doesn't mean that I am unaware of the Strikers and Rowdies. I'm quite well aware of them. Saw them play a number of times.

      Thanks for the kind words about the D-Wreck show (call to MLS)!

      You are a more diplomatic man than I. Sorry for imposing comradeship here, but I can't resist sharing my story - that revolves around some of the same mods you're hitting.

      After tirelessly working a pro/rel thread for three weeks, refraining from retorting in kind to the rabid and incessant strafing runs from a dozen MLSophiles, the same powers that be called me out, and ended the madness thru a ban on me, not on the half dozen jackasses making repeated personal attacks....

      Then, when I lost it on the mod who pulled it, and the reinforcements that were sent in, that was used as retroactive justification.

      The Don's arms a long....

      mateofelipe, thanks for the heads-up. i was wondering what happened to my thread. oh well, i guess i was dumb to think that a thing like free speech ever existed!

      There is "personal manifesto" and there is not framing a thread just right. And the tie should go to the runner, if you know what I mean. banbaseball was not ripping anyone's team, was not making any ad hominem attacks, or anything like that. He could have titled the thread, "Priority of on-field quality" and tied in and even linked to the stories indicated by his sub-points. But what he did was just as good - no flaming, no ad hominem attacks, just genuine concern. I know crossing the line from personal experience of doing it myself (which I didn't on this thread). Moving this thread was what banbaseball was seriously and properly analyzing MLS to be - pennywise and pound foolish.

      Who moved the thread?

      I didn't move it, but we generally move all personal manifestos to General so we aren't stuck deciding whose manifesto stays and whose goes; they all go.

      Well, I feel a bit sheepish about it, having pulled a Tommy Mack and switched teams. I want to have what you guys have, and the only way to do it is to support a more local concern. I am so looking forward to the "March to the Match" in August for the TFC/SSFC game. I miss y'all, too.

      can't rep blog comments but yours about Beckham's lack of specific talk about his teammates was a good one.
