D-Bat Impressive showing??? (Sorry for the long read)

[rodehardputawaywet]

Give them hell Judgenjury. You should have also added executioner to your title. That ant pile you stepped in is the 50% of HB Posters in N. Tex that happen to be D-Bat parents.

The articulate debate between you and Blind Squirrel is priceless!

Criedhardwokeupwet,

It didn't register at first but now it is painfully obvious that you have been lugging around a hefty dbat axe for quite some time. If it makes you feel better by appointing yourself the official dbat parent police then knock yourself out I suppose. A while back you were evidently sure that I was "one" so you boldly accused me and someone else of "it" on another thread.

Let it go - be happy - don't worry - get over it - make whoop tonite.

Fashizzle

Dear dawning of aquarius:

I am neither a hater or a luver of D-Bat. They do seem to draw more attention then any other organization right now (both pro and con). However, the D-Bat apologist appear arrogant and jump too hard to defend their organization without knowing the facts. At least the so-called-facts always seem to be very questionable. Are people actually making false accusations to try and destroy D-Bat? If yes, then that is more despicable then anything else happening. Can't we just all get along?

Mark has honorable intentions and does things the way he believes they should be handled. The organization provides another opportunity for girls in N. Texas which is always a good thing.

Axiom: those with a rudimentary command of the language should not try to write or speak as if they are the second incarnation of William F. Buckley Jr. It's embarrassing...and painful to read.

Dear Mr. Squirrel:

Thank you for your intelligent, well-choreographed response. Your passion is demonstrative in your reply. It is refreshing to see someone take a stand for what they believe in. After all, if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. I believe you let your passion cloud some of your thinking however. I never stated the rarity of knowledge that exists about the Latino heritage and culture. Living in Texas, everyone is uniquely familiar with Latinos. Personally, I do not believe everyone fully understands the heritage. Your reference to Osama is priceless, truly. I am quite certain the coach in question appreciates your implication of the similarities between his trial in a court of public opinion and Osama's trial in a court of law. Once again, I have no idea as to the validity of the alleged claims against this individual. Furthermore, I have no idea what his defense is, nor do I claim to know.

I do take exception with your comment about jumping to the head of the idiot class and comments about my stupidity. Nevertheless, I will light a candle for you tonight at mass and ask that you find that nut that you have so fervently been desiring all these years. Go in peace.

I would like to apologize to Mr. Tidwell. You are absolutely correct in pointing out that I misspoke when I unwittingly referenced Joboo's comment as your own. Thank you for clarifying this gross misrepresentation. In my defense, I get all of you DBat parents mixed up from time to time. Please accept my sincere apology. Also, please feel free to go through the rest of my comments and point out any other false statements I may have made about you or your team.

Well-choreographed response? Many things can be well-choreographed, and perhaps, technically, so can a response, but, as Twain would say, it grates on the fastidious ear.

Your passion is demonstrative in your reply? Demonstrative is an adjective, and has no place in this sentence as written.

I never stated the rarity of knowledge that exists about the Latino heritage and culture? Again, nonsensical. "I never stated that there exists a lack of knowledge..."

Living in Texas, everyone is uniquely familiar with Latinos? How can everyone be uniquely anything?

I am quite certain the coach in question appreciates your implication of the similarities between blah blah blah...? Seriously, blah blah blah. Reading nonsense is bad enough. Reading bloated, overly verbose nonsense is painful. "I doubt that the coach would appreciate your comparison..." is so much cleaner and clearer.

I could go on, because the rest of it doesn't get any better, but I think you get the picture. If you have an 8th-grade education, write like an 8th-grader. Nobody will fault you for it. But try to write like a condescending English professor with that 8th-grade education and folks on here are apt to put you at the head of the idiot class. Oh, whoops...I see that they already have.

Dear Mr. Squirrel:

Of course you never stated anything about a dearth of knowledge of Latino heritage. I thought it was funny that you felt the need to provide the information. What's next? Are Latina women really hot-blooded?

You were generous enough to educamate all of us lay-idiots with the existence of extenuating circumstances and even in the context of the law. Not knowing (and you not offering any guidance in the matter) whether such things are only applicable in certain types of cases, I applied the concept to a fairly well known individual and the crimes he has committed. Not applicable? Maybe. Even probably. Don't know, don't much care. I was amusing myself. And I sure as Hell wasn't trying to imply that the childish act of a coach of a bunch of little girls is comparable to 9/11. But to borrow from another thread, I think the point of the movie Being There was that people interpret stuff the way they want to interpret it (at least that is how I interpreted it). You think I was comparing the two acts rather than just applying this cosmic, mysterious concept of extenuating circumstances that you speak of? Otay.

And now I will describe an integral part of my heritage (actually it isn't). I call it old school and I'll summarize one aspect of it like this: You F**k up, you man up. You don't try to deflect any responsibility or blame. You own it. This makes the use of Latino male machismo in your post really quite ironic. I also think it sucks because such a tactic is inconsistent with the character of many of the Latino folks that I have known.

And finally, I don't know where you got "if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything" but I will definitely use it myself in the future. As an example of a saying that had to have originated in a cheesy ad campaign that targeted the mentally handicapped demographic.

No problem. As long as you pull all of the weeds in the garden like I asked you to.

Somebody needs to move this thread to the main board.

"It made me laugh, it made me cry, it moved me Bob"

D-Bat is getting all this attention because.......? As far as I can tell D-Bat has went from "You Have to be kidding Me" ( a post that criticized them for winning a 16u tourney as a 14u team) to being picked to win other 16u tourneys. So.... they can't really attack the players anymore so lets make false allegations against parents and coaches. Obviously, D-Bat is making an impression.

Gawlly gee, I shore dont no wear to even start this humble post. I dont no weather I should be flatered or pist off about the hornets nest eye seam to half stirred up. Eye am jest sum poor HB newbie with only a few post under my belt and all of a sudden I have brought upon myself the wrath of the Zanthian Army.

Augie, I really don't know what to make of your demeaning, holier than thou-pious attitude you spew forth in this thread. Then, to make matters worse, all of your little buddies chime in hoping they might score some brownie points and get to sit next to you at The Burger Hole. I am just some average Joe trying to make a few salient points in a sea of buffoonery. I am confused though. Your first post eloquently and succinctly stated there was no need for me to apologize for the long read because a man of your educational acumen had no time to even finish reading my overly verbose first paragraph. As well as anybody else for that matter. However, you then take it upon yourself to grab that overly-used little red pen of yours and grade the rest of my posts as if my English Lit term paper determined whether I would pass or fail. It seems that you get a little defensive when anybody tries to play in your sand box that is enlightened posts. Why the hostility? Did I come on here and proclaim to be the next McLovin and attempt to steal your spotlight?

You then proceed to state the obvious, at least to those with an inkling of ability to read and comprehend, that "my definition" of extenuating circumstances actually belonged to Mr. Wikipedia. Well done sir. Truly it took someone with immense intelligence to figure out that was "plagiarized" and in fact not my own words. Really, what gave it away? Was it my use of "moral opprobrium" that sealed the deal? In fact, I can scarcely believe that you did not pick up on my additional plagiarism in the next paragraph when I referenced defamation. I thought for sure you would have picked up on the fact that I used a footnote in the middle of my definition as an obvious give-away.

I do not know Mr. Hotwheels but I must confess that I have this mental picture of the stereotypical meathead jock in all of those B movies. I mean anyone who replies to a post with "Game Over" must be wearing a popped-collar pink shirt that is 2 sizes too small and has a barb-wire tatt on his roided out bicep.

I must retire now. I have another fifth of vodka to finish off and I still need to finish reading 'Grammar for Dummies' before I pass out. Before I go, I would like to leave you all with a few mind vitamins. In the spirit of everything Skarp, I would also like to quote the great American Mark Twain, "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure." By the way, while everyone has out their red grading pens please be sure to revisit the rules for starting a sentence with And, But or Because. If I remember correctly from my earlier learning days, I believe these words are used primarily to join two independent phrases together and create a relationship between them.

"But try to write like a condescending English professor with that 8th-grade education and folks on here are apt to put you at the head of the idiot class."

Finally, and I really mean it this time, I want to dedicate this link to my good friend, Jaquesy, err I mean Skarp, err I mean McLovin, err I mean Augie. It seems that not only does Skarp have ample time to peruse the TX boards of HB (explain to me again why all of you CA people are trolling the TX boards again), but he also has time to blog under the pseudonym of Jaquesy.

It seems that you get a little defensive when anybody tries to play in your sand box that is enlightened posts.

Try posting something enlightening and we can talk about whether you can play in the "sand box that is enlightened posts."

Seriously, is it possible for you to write any more awkwardly?
