SSR removed the comments to stop what he thought was a flame war. It wasn't really a flame war - "annoying" at best but it wasn't out of control by any means. Too bad he waited until it was all over to do it.

So I can turn them back on? The article was rather good, and I had a few places that I sent it to. Would be sad to have someone pick it up and not allow for comments.

The comments pretty much disprove most of "the theory"

But some are funny at least.

Especially since it's hard to determine how much or to what degree of intensity a 7 year old would have to throw a baseball in order to alter the shape of his growth plates...

And the whole concept is based on a theoretical x-ray of Nolan Ryan's shoulder - which even if is real is a blatent disregard in patient confidentiality.

Well, Mr. Ryan should take that up w/his doctor -- and for all we know, he released them (wouldn't be uncommon, in fact). As for the rest of it, I'll wait to see what others have to say :)

OK, it's slightly possible that Ryan allowed a doctor to use x-rays - of Robin Ventura's HEAD!!!

And you realize the same "author" of that article also posted this masterpiece concurrently...? It's hard to display an elaborate theory about a sport for which you have repeated, blatent disregard.

No comment on this at all. If you read some of the comments posted on the article they are just childish and dumb. Write something intelligent Frank. You are stupid Frank. The argument that this theory was disproved is also lacking as the points made had no relevance to the article-- it had nothing to do with IPs, nor when certain pitchers hit the 200 IPs--.

The problem I have is that I was called a troll and their was question of me being banned over that article. Why?

This is the last comment I will make on this thread reguarding this matter.

Sorry also it was implied that I wrote the article just to cause problems and conflict and that it was entirely made up. That's insulting and again just shows a huge amount of ignorance and idiocy on a subject matter that is obviously over their heads.

Write something intelligent Frank. You are stupid Frank Of course it was irrelevant. But I'll say it again, YOU put yourself in that situation with all of your articles we've had to move to the lockerroom because it ended up being 3 sentences and pictures of women.

SSreporters. Get over it. I wrote the baseball article on purpose to prove a point. For the entire time I have been here on armchairgm you guys attack personalities and people. You judge not the comment nor the article but the person who made that comment or wrote that article. This site will never grow with the attitudes that the supposed "top dogs" have here. It won't. If you want this site to grow the attitudes of some have to change. End of story.

Take me for example, I wrote tons of ESPN hate when I first got on from June-September. I'm known as the ESPN basher of the site. So what I did in the past, affects how people think of me in the present.

Comment on the comments. Comment on the article. Leave the personal bullshit off the site. That's the problem here.

It's like dealing with a bunch of 13 year old caddy girls.

Again, comment on the comments. Comment on the articles. Leave the personal bullshit off the site.

Dr. "Frank" - I liked your article. I don't particularly agree with the theory but respect the fact that you admitted up front that most people wouldn't. Obviously others here appreciated the effort since it is on the top of the front page, has received about 30 votes and nearly 200 comments.

But surely, Dr. "Frank", your time is better served with business, patients and hopefully more articles like your last effort to appear here (that is if you still want to post at Armchair and after this ordeal, I would not blame you at all if you did not)

To the dissenters against Frank - You know who you are. Frank was asked to clean up his act. He did. And he is still getting bashed. What the hell more do you want? Do you WANT him to blow a nut over this so either A) he never posts here again (great message to all would be and future users at this wiki site) or B) reverts back to the previous crap that has so riled all of you up in the first place?

Last night's thread on Frank's article was disgusting. I know for fact that more than a few admins here at concerned about the conduct of SEVERAL members here.

Finally, NOBODY here has an inherent rights, privileges, anointments, etc. etc. etc. to be better than anyone else. This is a facking wiki site. It is open to everyone. And that includes Frank.

End of soapbox speech.

Now I am shutting the hell up as well. And going back to reading and commenting about sports while working my facking 8 AM - 7 PM shift to food on the table.

Regarding past indiscretions:

There's a reason that there's a vote box on every article. And there's a reason why those vote boxes start at 0 (or 1, I guess, because you automatically vote for your own stuff).

The reason is that each article should be measured primarily on the merits of the article, not by who the author is.

It'd be trivially easy for us to change how that works. But I think you'd all agree that'd be a bad idea.
