I'm just saying that the the "thread closed" thing sounds arrogant is all.  Joking or not, it looks bad in print.

Also, we should remind ourselves that this is a simulated baseball game on the internet.   The ABSOLUTE WORST thing that can happen is a C pinch hits in game 7 of the WS and is left in the field in the bottom of the 9th.    He kicks one and loses the game.   OMG!!!!!!!!   HOW WILL THE WORLD CONTINUE TO TURN?!?!?!?!?!

It's a goddam internet game.  A diversion from the real world.   If that would wreck your day, you have ****** days anyway.  You'll live.

And here we have the root of the issue with Mikey.  Its not enough for him to say he doesn't like it and move on.  Instead he has to state that the idea is stupid, you are stupid, proclaim himself the final word on all things HBD, and declare that "MikeT has spoken and the thread is now closed.".  Pure and total arrogance. 

Mikey you are just one of hundreds of people playing this game, many with just as much knowledge and success about how the game works and what would improve it.  You are not smarter than everyone else, and you are not the final authority. 

You are the most blocked person in all of WiS.  You have such a huge inflated opinion of your own importance to this game that its laughable.  You obviously have little else going on in your life since you troll the forums and post 20 times a day.   

Then to make it worse, he has his little group of sycophants, that follow him around from thread to thread kissing his ***, blindly adopting whatever opinion Mikey has without even coming up with an original thought or original opinion.  

There may have been a time in the history of HBD that Mikey helped to guide new players with suggestions, and work to improve the game.  Those days are long past.  Now he the great defender of the status quo, and defender of his own delusion of granduer.   I would imagine that at this point the only real purpose he serves is to run off players from the forums, or his little corner of the schoolyard as it were. 

Its both sad and annoying.,

This was his suggestion thread.  No need for me to make different suggestions here.  

You may check again to see if I've actually made ANY suggestions in this forum.   You might be surprised.

Nonetheless, if we're led to believe that WifS monitors these forums, I think it's a bad idea to have 10 "attaboy, +1" posts and nothing else if/when a suggestion is relatively useless.   Would you disagree?
