I'm sorry token but why wouldn't I defend DKM? He's a fellow Boston fan. And from what I've seen in the year or so that i've followed this thread, he only seems to fire back negatively when someone else trolls him first.

if his ban isn't permanent it may be a good thing (gives him a chance to cool off for a few days) but the person who trolled him (corleoneag99) should also get a ban of the same length for stirring the pot simply to do so, seemingly adding nothing of substance to the discussion.

and Chowdah you are of course free to believe whatever you choose, but you are incorrect in your thinking that DKM and myself are the same person. I am a current student in my second semester from Dedham MA.

Thank God that none of my friends or family back home were injured in the tragic attacks on Boston yesterday. Hopefully the same can be said for any family/friends you have in the area as well.

Poor DKM.

He never trolls or acts like a buffoon.

I probably should be banned.

Like I said corleone, i've only been keeping up with this thread/board for around a year or so, but I have to call it like I see it.

It seems like every time you two interact, all you do is play the "tshirt fan" card (even when something he posts isn't directly to you) because you know that fires him up for whatever reason. That is the definition of trolling.

DKM should probly have a thicker skin when it comes to the "tshirt" thing because it really is silly since a fan can be a true fan no matter where they physically reside, but hey everyone has their hot button issues that get under their skin no matter how ridiculous they may be.

He doesn't seem to have any issues interacting with other posters like Aggie Kid for example

Solid analysis.

Im sure everyone will agree with you that DKM is the victim.

He's all good baseball talk, all the time.

Poor baby. He can dish it out - including using racial slurs even. But call him a name and it results in violent threats.

Reminds me of the muslim fatwas for drawing cartoons.

I don't condone the level to which he has gone when he's responded to the trolling. He's been over the top to say the least.

My point is simply that I haven't seen him being the one starting the exchanges. Bottom line he may have been wrong to come back the way he did/does, but if he isn't provoked in the first place, he probly doesn't go into a curse filled rant.

Again, well put.

If anything is well known around here, it's that DKM never provokes; never instigates.

He's simply the victim of internet bullying on my part, despite the fact that he is in fact a tshirt Sox fan.

I mean, it's not really name calling when it's a fact, right?

obviously you can believe whatever you want to token, but how exactly does an expired ag tag make DKM and me the same person. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure there is no ag tag next to his name (expired or otherwise)

Well corleone it doesn't seem to me that the term "tshirt fan" is really much of an insult. But man does it sure seem to fire him up for whatever reason. Because all it means is he didn't happen to grow up in the new england region. Doesn't make his fandom any less valid in my (and any logical person's) eyes.

Because as long as he roots for ONE team, and ONE team only and doesn't hop around based on who winning from year to year, he's a solid fan in my estimation. Again i've only been following texags for a short time, but it appears to me he's only ever followed the Boston teams outside of A&M. Would you not agree?
corleoneAg99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
No, I wouldn't.

He's been following the Sox since they got good.

Hes from Colorado, lives in Texas, yet he's a Sox die hard?

Nah...he's a tshirt. And you're right that it's not an insult. It's fact.

He should be a good fan, like me, who roots for one team, the team where I was born and raised.

AK, Token, Chowdah, and myself...all legit fans.

DKM, however, simply is not.

how exactly do you know he's only been following the red sox "since they got good" corleone? Pretty bold statement to make, care to share your evidence that proves this theory? Fact is the Red Sox have been by definition a good organization much more often than not.

now in 2004 and 2007 they were definitely elite, but the fact is last year was their first losing season since 1997 and they have qualified for the playoffs 12 times since 1980. In that time span how many playoff appearances have orioles made? 4. The rangers? 6. So the Red Sox have more playoff appearances than both of the teams you follow combined? crazy!
corleoneAg99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Both teams?

I root for one team and live in Dallas; chiming in on Ranger threads is just that. I certainly don't mind if they do well but the O's are my team.

Then you have DKM, whose admitted he got his tshirt ways from is daddy, who isn't from NE, never lived there, and has admitted he didn't really follow until they turned the team around.

DKM is a prototypical tshirt fan/frontrunner.

He should just admit it.
Nelson Mandela
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
If you say so corleone, I guess you've been on this thread longer than I have, but i certainly don't recall him ever saying that his father wasn't even from NE or that he only started following them around 2004.

perhaps you could find a few past posts of his that might confirm him admitting this.

Let me ask you something again since you didn't answer it the first time i asked, do you recall any point in which he actively rooted for another baseball team on this message board?
corleoneAg99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Not that I recall, so I'll admit this; he's a VERY dedicated tshirt fan.

Something to be proud of for sure...?

As for the rest, yeah, you'd know that if you weren't so new around here.

Hope you stick around!

well whatever he is, he's definitely passionate about the red sox (much more so than a lot of the new "pink hat" fans that I have encountered at Fenway Park during the "sellout streak" years)

Bagging on the streak? No real sox fan needs to do this. It is what it is.

Btw: you aren't fooling anyone this time either. If you think you are, well, that's really sad.

Keep defending yourself. Maybe someone, somewhere will believe you are a real fan and not some hat wearing goober!

Like I said earlier Chowdah, believe what you feel like believing. There is no way for me to prove to you that I am who i say I am. It doesn't really matter either what you choose to believe because I know the truth

and as for the "streak," you are fooling yourself if you believe it to be valid at any point past 2010. After that the ticket distribution streak was all the Boston ownership wanted to talk about to cover up the fact that they had lost their way and were on a serious downward spiral.

Any real Red Sox fan was ashamed whenever the streak got brought up by the national media, because to anyone with two good eyes it had become nothing but a punchline. Thank god ownership finally wised up this year and officially put the "streak" out of it's misery.

You said the same thing about your other alter ego, OMW, just one page ago.

If you are going to create a sock to talk you up, at least change the narrative to throw us off. Make him an Astros fan or something.
