Wow this was the funniest thread I've read in a while, although I was m.i.a. for a while so I may have missed something.

We both have been MIA...but this is an interesting thread...I am glad there are two new moderators. That means that I can take a back seat and eventually leave BMO, and this forum. ( I have no time ), especially reading these new 100 reply threads that are poping up...

[robinhoodnik]

This thread is funny.

See? You get so much more for your twenty bucks here on the SM forums.

[robinhoodnik]

Okay, you can stop pointing out every itsy bitsy typo I make. That's just pointless. A moderator that doesn't contribute won't be a moderator long. Activeness is a requirement of a moderator.

Good point, activity is also required, probably more than activeness is.

[slowrx7]

Heh, and that wasn't actually a typo, so yeah...

5)
7) Between the three of us, we sort of run a spectrum. Robin is more "conservative", I'm more "moderate", and HGM is more "liberal". Obviously, none of us are real ideologues, and those labels are far from being 100% accurate, but their accurate enough.

I would have called Ohm's liberal and Robin and HGM moderate but that's just my 2 cents, continue on with your usual programming...

I'm much more "liberal." I despise those terms, but I'd say ohms got it right.

you seem pretty straight laced to me...

[HoustonGM]

you seem pretty straight laced to me...

What do you mean by that?

Politically, I'm very very far "left," and I've noticed that it seems as though people with left-leaning political views tend to be more sabermetric-leaning when it comes to baseball.

I can gaurentee you that, politically, I'm far from moderate.

[slowrx7]

Uh, how do you come to that conclusion?

[HoustonGM]

Uh, how do you come to that conclusion?

That I'm far from moderate? Or that it seems as though left-leaning people tend to be more stat-oriented when it comes to baseball? I'm assuming the latter. It's just a pattern I've seemed to notice, nothing definite.

[slowrx7]

Oh, so no concrete facts?

[HoustonGM]

Um, no, there's no concrete facts. It's just something I've noticed every once in a while.

[slowrx7]

Nod. You may be on to something as I am somewhat conservative, however I am not opposed to sabremetrics in principle, but in its current form.
