BASEBALLS BUGS IS AN UGLY IGNORANT FOOL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.49.166.166 (talk) 23:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

That may be, but on the plus side they know how to use the caps lock key. I'm not sure where that leaves you... - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 14:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Cubs Win flag

I have added a lot of images. I just need one from the infield seats of the scoreboard. If you can find anything let me know.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

If worse comes to worse, I could use http://www.flickr.com/photos/falsecognate/2439409291/ , but it does not have all the rest of the national league teams.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:21, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I mean pictures like the following:

Why are the other teams flags visible in these photos and not the one I mentioned earlier?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey

If Kelly wants to make outrageous statements, I can make relatively mild ones commenting on her behaviour. Sure, Kelly might not like it, but really I don't particularly feel terribly upset if she takes it to heart - if anything, she should! - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 14:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I do understand and I also expect a high standard from admins. I think characterising the admin as hot-headed is unwise, perhaps a little inexperienced but they most definitely did the right thing in taking the block to WP:AN/I, which is really what AN was designed for.

In regards to Kelly though - I don't retract my statement and I feel that Kelly was out of line. So I said so directly to her. Was it baiting? Well, I didn't do it to bait her, but really if she makes such controversial statements, then really she should expect people to comment on that directly to her. If Kelly can't handle that (and I think she can), then she should probably refrain from the statements she makes. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 14:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure, it might be closed. I'll still make that comment, and I stand by it. I've watched Kelly's behaviour for a long time, and this is really par for course. Like I say, I don't feel any regret in the statement I made. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 14:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Like I say, I wasn't baiting her. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 14:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, you can believe that if you want I guess, but like I have said, I stand by my comments. Kelly should not have made the statement she made, and I feel well within my rights to say something. Such uncivil behaviour deserves a fairly mild talk page comment. And now, if you please, I'm going to bed. Good night! - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 15:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I have insomnia... anyway, I just want to note that if you haven't followed Kelly's exploits, when I left for an extended wikibreak, Kelly was doing exactly the same things. You might think the problems are over, but I haven't seen where Kelly has apologised or admitted that she did the wrong thing. Perhaps you could provide me with the diff? - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 16:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Have you considered that I made one comment, which I was going to let her respond to directly until you decided that you would monitor her talk page? Seriously, she's an experienced editor, she knows and has been warned again and again and again about civility, yet she flaunts this regularly. As I have stated, I am not baiting her. Though again I ask - where is the diff where she admitted that she was uncivil and that her behaviour needs to change? - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 16:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of assume good faith, I don't really appreciate you saying I was picking a fight with Kelly. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 17:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that there's an ANI thread on this, let's confine our comments to that page. Baseball Bugs 17:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Thankfully it's been archived. I stand by my comments on the thread and on her talk page. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 18:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Obviously. And be glad you didn't get blocked over this nonsense. Baseball Bugs 18:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure that I would have been unblocked far faster than Kelly was. But, my goodness the irony would have been amazing to behold had that happened! - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 18:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the irony of it all. Baseball Bugs 18:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Irony

Irony is an edit summary that says "Don't delete others' posts" ... when your revert deleted a post by GoodDamon! (If I had a faster internet connection, I would fix it myself.) --Kralizec! (talk) 01:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Much to my surprise, I did not get an edit conflict when I tried to fix it ... so the deleted message has been restored . --Kralizec! (talk) 01:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

No worries, as it was not my post you deleted. Regardless, it was easy enough to re-insert. As you said, with the high traffic at WP:AN/I, such things are bound to happen. --Kralizec! (talk) 02:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually as drama-filled as AN/I has been ... I thought it was pretty funny. In fact, I think it provided the only laugh-out-loud wiki moment I have had all day. Kudos to you, sir! --Kralizec! (talk) 03:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much...

...for looking after my talk page. I zeroed out the drama left there to Ta bu shi blah blah or whoever, what a crock. Anyway, I am going to spend the time between now and Election Day doing things that are incontrovertibly noncontroversial...for example, I've been spending some time today locating and uploading free photos of baseball players, in your honor. ;) Best wishes - Kelly 17:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. I did what I could. And others joined in. :) Baseball Bugs 18:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI, this was one page I forgot to unwatchlist when I disengaged from the Palin mess. I can't believe there is still stuff going on there, given the fact that whatever edits that user made have long since been refactored/subsumed. I'd recommend full protection, as the user seems to have disappeared. Kelly 20:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Palin Pic

Hi, After taking into consideration the feedback from other editors regarding the Carson City image at Sarah Palin, I have created a new version with the intent of pleasing those who have contributed to the discussions. The quality of the image has been significantly improved. I would appreciate your opinion here: ]. Thanks, IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Jim Hickman (1960s outfielder)

One of my all-time favorite Cubs. He was a major impact player on the Cubs of 1969 and 1970, kind of forgotten now when they talk about the Banks-Santo-Williams era. A very quiet country boy who just happened to have a knack for knocking the big bang in clutch situations from time to time. Baseball Bugs 02:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I have been a life-long Mets fan, and I can only share my sympathies with anyone who has rooted for the Cubs. After some mediocre years with the Mets, he had a few fantastic years with the Cubs and has a place in the history of both teams. Thanks again for the note. Alansohn (talk) 02:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Darren Bragg

You think that this photo can be cropped or manipulated to use in his article? It's the only free photo of him that I can find, but I hate the way he's cut off at the edge of the picture. Kelly 02:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Oops, never mind. I found another photo after all, will crop and upload later. Kelly 12:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Definitely a better photo. Baseball Bugs 13:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Since you're a Cubs fan, thought you might appreciate that I found some good pics of Mike Remlinger. Still digging through the .mil archives for other pics of ballplayers on USO tours. Kelly 13:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeh, he covered a fair amount of ground in his career. Baseball Bugs 13:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

ANI?

I will wait for the response about the fee. That way, I can present the whole story and not bits of it at a time. 903M (talk) 05:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Rogereeny. Baseball Bugs 05:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Well the irony is amazing

It's annoying when you post a reasonable comment and then someone tells you to stop "baiting" the user. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 06:25, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

And I did stop. Baseball Bugs 06:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Disgusting comment

You are clearly baiting that user. I'm seeing comments to a committed anti-abortion Christian like "There has been more evil, more mass murder conducted in the name of Christianity than is possible to tabulate." I can't believe you had such a massive go at me for one comment on Kelly's page and yet you are engaging in far worse behaviour! - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 06:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I am convinced that that user is a troll or someone funnin' us. So I'm just funnin' him back. Baseball Bugs 06:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I am a Christian, and I don't find your comment very funny at all. May I refer you to our very well defined rules on assuming good faith? And may I state for the record that you might have found that a very funny comment, but I see that as baiting and extremely offensive to other editors like myself. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

That user went after an admin candidate for having a lyric from "Imagine" in a userbox. That struck me as an attempt at humor, but I wanted to learn more about what that guy was about. Meanwhile, if you don't know about the mass murder committed in the name of religions of all kinds (including Christianity), maybe you should go study your history instead of worrying about trivia sections in baseball articles. Baseball Bugs 07:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

So, you thought that it was OK to go after the editor and try to cause them a bit of trouble? I find this interesting in light of the comments you made to me on Kelly's talk page.

I should note that I studied church history for six months, and I am well aware of many terrible things that occured in history in general. You were baiting the user, I advise you to stop doing this, and also advise you to stop making inflammatory comments like the one that I mentioned above. Just remember, the editor may well believe that abortion is murder, your joking might have seemed very offensive and as you decided that you don't like "baiting" comments (even when they might be justified) then I'd suggest you look into your own comments.

As for your comments advising me I'm wasting my time on articles on Baseball, for your information I am currently trying to merge so called trivia from all tagged articles as I am part of the the trivia cleanup Wikiproject. Hardly think your last comment was helpful, or even called for. I'll continue to try to improve articles on Misplaced Pages as best I can, this is the way I've chosen to contribute so I'm not going to stop just because you don't like me. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I already stopped talking to that user. I'm very glad to obey an order to stop talking to someone that comes after I've already stopped talking to them. P.S. I happen to believe that abortion is murder. As is warfare and capital punishment. That's what my Christian parents and my church taught me. So there. As far as liking you, I don't know you, so liking or disliking does not figure into it. Baseball Bugs 07:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

It was not an order, it was a suggestion, and quite a reasonable one at that. Does your response mean that you will bait another user like this in future, if you feel they are a troll? - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Being a lifelong Cubs fan, I try to avoid predicting the future. Baseball Bugs 07:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

lol! I'll leave it at that. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 08:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

If I might interject, yes, it is true that many mass murders have been committed in the name of religion, including Christianity. However, let's not forget that many millions were killed in the last century under the atheistic regimes of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. There's enough bad to go around to just for about any kind of belief. Just saying. - BillCJ (talk) 08:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Marxism is its own kind of religion. The bottom line is that when people want to commit mass murder, or murder on any scale, they will find ways to justify it. Baseball Bugs 08:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
