2024 Guardians Regular Season Thread

[BMAN]

Time to cut bait. Bring up Manzardo. Let Brennan see more time in the OF with Florial.

Shit, give some of those at bats to Fry. Freeman/Florial/Brennan should be able to cover CF duties.

I would like to ask that anyone who has been bullied by AZ_, or otherwise have felt discourse has been chilled, in any Forum, because they didn't want to be badgered, hectored or attacked by him, or simply didn't want to deal with his bullshit, to Like this post.


And please accept my apologies, on behalf of RCF, for allowing him to do that to you, and everyone else, for well past too damn long.

I commend you for this. There are now 3 people from what I called the bully cartel here that are now gone. A lot more enjoyable for everyone now.

Yes, I've been warned a time or 2 in the past month. But only after I had had enough of listening to these 3 posters and let it rip. I don't regret telling them off.

AZ and I couldn't be more different. In fact, if we were to meet in person it would probably end up in hands being thrown. Having said that, I hate to see anyone banded, but damn, sometimes you need to know when to pump the brakes.

In all honesty, what you’ve seen from him is significantly tamer than what he did to garner the reputation and continually have the mods on edge over the years.

I’ve been reading RCF since 2013 or so, and, yikes.

The problem is that he just can’t help himself every so often and clearly uses RCF as some form of coping mechanism for other stressors.

I agree and Sebastion and the clan are more then laid back. In order to push them to that point you've clearly been an asshole.

Place goes to pure chaos when the master of chaos is not here.

Cheap way of getting reactions, really.

Kidding!

I have never seen someone so incapable of behaving like an adult, and whose head is so far up his own ass that he can't even discern friend from foe, and who is far less clever than he thinks.

It takes a true midwit narcissist to think one can continually break the rules and be shocked when correction follows, and that it is merely a function of malice or a conspiracy. For example, you were given about half a dozen chances in the Politics Forum, still broke every rule, and had each infraction adjudicated and explained to you in detail by a literal committee of judges of equal number from the Left and Right, yet somehow, that ego-maniac brain of yours thinks you did nothing wrong and that you were martyred on the alter of social justice by spineless moderate pushovers who couldn't handle your truth while also trying to appease a vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

If it wasn't for me advocating for you would have been perma-banned back in 2017. I and all the other mods have looked away a number of times when we could have come down hard. We thought we were being reasonable. Alas, all for naught.

And to be clear, you've been on the cusp of a perma-ban for years because you simply won't cease behaving like an asshole. All warnings used up if we applied the letter of the rules. Two strikes+ now since at least 2019. You've been living off the fat of leniency and wishful thinking on our (mostly mine) part. I really should have done this a loooooooooong time ago.


So let's be clear: No one is above the rules.

When I think about all the people you've bullied into silence over the years, or simply exasperated to the point they decided they'd rather not share their opinions because of you, all the complaints, as well as the amount of my and all the other Mods' time you have wasted, I think to myself:

Why did I ever bother? Were you worth it?


**No.**

So, your wish is fulfilled and you are henceforth separated from RCF forever.

We wish you success in your future endeavors.



Adieu.








*Who thought the above was going to be AZ_'s response when I mentioned the asterisk above in the warning post? If you did, congratulations!

Never thought I'd see it. Dude is like a cat on steroids... ran out of his 37 lives.

@Sebastian Nailed it. He's an arrogant midwit. Slightly above average IQ, 99% percentile arrogance and 3% percentile ability to take criticism. Mix those things together with a slight case of autism he just can't help himself. Sebastian says don't touch the fire. AZ says I'm too smart to listen to his bullshit advice. No one tells me what to do.

I really didn’t have a problem with AZ, but sometimes you just gotta shut the fuck up.

I thought Laureano was a worthwhile pickup last year just to see if a change of scenery might pull back some of his early career production. While he wasn't awful last year in Cleveland, his power has disappeared and I was surprised they signed him for $5 million to be a short side platoon option. The sooner they move on the better.
