8	Well I was always aware that irbe38 was using Spain's picture, but i don't think irbe38 is Spain. In fact, I'd bet my life on it.

12	Look on the bright side people, it's been 3 months or so to even get a page to turn to post a comment without giving up, and now we can yell at each other, so at least (apprehensive) the site is working

I'd say in order to break the curse, all Cubs fans have to do is stop blaming their problems on a STUPID CURSE that doesn't exist. The whole Irbe's picture thing...who cares? Guess what, I'm not really Albert Pujols, even though I have his picture up for my profile. I just have instructions from my school district not to have personal webpages that people can get ahold of, so I'm at least keeping my picture off of here. Maybe Irbe has her own reasons...

1	By the way, it looked like she missed a little high on the kick in the balls. I'd definitely get kicked in the pelvis for free tickets.

10/10/08

12	This is all ridiculous from where I'm sitting, I'd hate to see Madison leave the site for this reason, her polls are great and she's articulate, a bit stubborn but on a site surrounded by us men what should we expect, this is another poll that got out of hand

For the record, the note I sent to you was because of the personal attacks in your comment above. As you and everyone else on the site know, that's not allowed here. I've sent similar letters to many people for calling names and using profanities against others on the site; regardless of "status". This has nothing to do with Pat being a moderator - if you left the same message to anyone else on the site it would have warranted the same letter.

As for the article; I'm not seeing the problem here. Maybe you and Pat have issues in other areas of the site but this is an article about Sarah Spain and a video that she posted yesterday and you're the one making it about you. People like Sarah Spain are always making the front page - she's big news in the sports world.

7	That's the thing, no Mod has EVER bashed or threatened her or anyone for that matter. There has been disagreement at times, but we are not "out to get anybody". Give me a break. I don't have time to sit by my computer waiting for someone to respond so I can "get them". 3rd grade was 25 years ago.

I think it was handled poorly on both ends... Don't pretend Pat, I feel that was a bit underhanded and sneaky...you knew what to do....Madison I feel your attack was way harsh on Pat and not professional, but perhaps there are some missing pieces... (Madison's post has been deleted for the hearing impaired) I respect both of you and usually look forward to your polls and comments, so....anyways....boooooo

What did I do that was underhanded and sneaky? I still don't understand what all the fuss is about. I'm also wondering why Home Run Derby isn't getting the same backlash as well...

It was Renegade in the 2nd comment that brought up Madison's name, from there everyone else drew their own conclusions.....

10/10/08

8	"Pat's article was clearly an attack on me, otherwise why is my profile pic front and center?" I posted a picture of Sarah Spain, the woman about whom the article is about. It's a picture of an attractive woman, with a beer, at a baseball game. Those are things that many people on this site are interested in. I don't understand how this could be seen as an attack.

10/10/08

7	There are plenty of women that are on here that are taken seriously, I you really want to I compile a list for you.....Look at what you are saying and how you react to things, and you wonder why nobody takes you seriously. I don't think you take your own self seriously. I mean geeze, even in your profile pic, you were playing off as someone your not.

(Edited by Michael G)

Pat, you posted a picture of a very known Faniq user on the homepage, most of us thought that was her, not a big deal, we all have sports figures on our profiles, but her's was not a known face (and I believe you knew that) ...so when the rest of us saw the blog (on the front page)....we said why is Madison on the blog..and read the story and said ok......no biggie....but alot of us said negative things (me included) which most were ment as jokes not to harm) which is ridiculous because half the guys on here have hot chicks as their profile pic (why is that? do us guys think that's them?....we do until we check their profile and go ewwww...) bottom line..I think you know what your doing.....

11	"Pat, you posted a picture of a very known Faniq user on the homepage" Umm... no I didn't. I posted a picture of Sarah Spain, which I had gotten from her MySpace profile. And the reason I did so was quite simple: The article was about (drumroll please...) Sarah Spain, the woman in the picture.

And I think you had a beef with Madison and did it on purpose...because it would cause this problem....I hope you know you're not fooling anybody...not cool dude

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH, Pat's out to get me!" Grow up. If you're really 40 years old, seriously...GROW UP!!!!!!!!!! Nobody on this site is out to get you. You're obviously not Sarah Spain. You used her as your profile picture, and now because Pat posted an article about the woman who you have AS YOUR FAKE PROFILE PICTURE, you have the nerve to throw a hissy fit and tell everyone that the moderators are out to get you. Give me a freakin' break, Madison, if that's even your real name! If you'd like to know, I've even gotten messages from Jess telling me to tone it down. Don't make this some personal vendetta against you, that's moronic and childish.

Yeah, we REALLY DIDN'T expect you to defend Pat on this,

being a fellow Moderator. What I also noticed is that, although Madison's article (and all it comments, including the ones your French police deleted for fear of disagreement with the ESTABLISHMENT) has been deleted, while the original article that started the contraversy (written by YOUR moderator) is still receiving comments!

Wow, imagine that!

1	The above comment was meant for Jess, not Anthony. I apologize to anyone who got confused (in case it matters).

10/14/08

5	(Edited by Anthonyg7575) It is a sports site, with a sports bar atmosphere. When you are in a sports bar you're not always talking sports. There are people that stick with just the sports, there are some people that just hang in the locker room, and there are members that choose to do both.....personal preference.

Unless you changed YOUR name to Jess, you REALLY NEED to stay out of this conversation! REALLY!

You got your way, now I REALLY suggest you stay out of mine! Perhaps it is your total ignorance that is blinding you to the offensiveness of the comment. Next time you think a comment isnt so offensive, try picturing one of your clique members as the butt of the joke. How offensive will it be then, Mr. Moderator Supreme?

It won't be offensive at all. It could be ME as the butt of the joke, and I wouldn't be whining about it weeks later like you are.

And thank you, but I don't need you telling me which conversations I can and can not participate in. I wasn't talking to you anyway. Grow up.

Wow.. I cannot believe this.. a person gets on here and lies about who they are (like that is a real surprise here on the Internet) and then when they are caught instead of saying..Okay you got me.. they make a big mess . Seriously, folks we all need to grow up . Anyone can see my picture at anytime ( just ask for it as I am who I said I was and really do not like it posted but will send it if asked). Did Madison really think that she could pull that off for long? We are talking about a sporting world version of Paris Hilton. Sarah Spain wants to a star so badly and to be COA (center of attention) wherever she goes that she makes sure everyone knows her name when she shows up anywhere. Hopefully, Madison has learned her lesson and will pick some else less known the next time.

5	Actually, this whole mess is a laugh riot. I am trying to wrap my mind around how the old irbe38 felt this was an attack on her and I just can't do it. She isn't mentioned anywhere in the blog post, only her profile photo, which isn't her but is the person that is the subject of the post! And there were actually people who agreed with her. Insanity knows no limits, I reckon.

Irbe38 is in like her 40s and when asked about the picture she said that she looked young for her age. When the picture was posted with the blog... she knew she had been found out and then made a big mess of things.
