Inevitably they stop being polite and get banned.<br /><br />I don't allow right-wing comments on my blog, because I don't want my blog to be a war zone, and because it's my space, for people and views I respect. You say Fox and MSNBC - but those are two separate places. There are plenty of right-wing blogs - they don't need my blog to sound off.<br /><br />Some people like listening to people scream at each other. I don't.

I was once a Met fan, Laura was once a you-know-who fan.</i><br /><br />I also find it weird how people belittle other people for being fans of a certain team. "Nyah nyah, your team's a bunch of losers!" So you want me to give up on the team because they're losing...? Would that improve my standing with you? If anything, cheering for a losing team should earn respect. <br /><br />When I was a you-know-what fan, and certain people (NOT Allan) would rag on me for that, I would say, I grew up in New York, and this is the team that I went to see and watched on TV. What am I supposed to do, pick a random team to root for? It's my team, what am I supposed to do?<br /><br />I understand hating the team, hating the uniform.

If my loyalty or affection for the team depended on how many details or players or statistics I can remember about any season, I would long ago have been booed off the blog (and some probably DO feel that way). <br /><br />A fan is a fan is a fan. I was once a Met fan, Laura was once a you-know-who fan. Times change, loyalties change, teams change, players change.

When I used to watch women's college basketball, I would really only pay attention during the playoffs. I used to think I wasn't "entitled" to claim a team or get into it, because I wasn't all-out like I am about baseball. Allan told me this was ridiculous - and he was right. <br /><br />The people who scoff at the "pinkhats" may have other interests that they're less than fanatical about.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80184817695456517772010-04-18T15:28:43.360-07:002010-04-18T15:28:43.360-07:00L-girl said...
