I took this post to heart. I went and looked at every exchange I’ve ever had with RR, of which there are few, and I can’t find one that I can categorize as bullying. If there is one, please point it out and I will humbly apologize. However, disagreeing with someone, perhaps calling an argument "silly”, does not fall into that category. Nor do I go for homophobic slurs. I thought the Calvin and Hobbes thing was funny and lighthearted and certainly not bullying. I admit to posting mockery when it seems appropriate. Is that bullying? I certainly hope not. Kempski, for one, could never write a line.

As far as RR’s instruction to me, I’ll say, probably not.

RTK might have some odd takes but he is definitely not a troll.

He is though. Even putting all the hurts stuff aside, he's definitely trolling Phillies fans with his constant fair-weather shtick. And I say that as an out of towner who couldn't possibly care less about baseball, much less the Phillies.

Damn shame he’s not able to continue this hot streak but awesome that he is having again.

If your kid was constantly mocked in school would you then consider that bullying?

So the guy who posted a calvin & hobbes cartoon is a bully,

but the guy who replied and told someone to kill themselves is a victim?

Have I got that right?

Would be cool to see a lot of Kelly green jerseys in the crowd on tv

Probably. But I say again, point me to a bullying post that I made. And let’s consider your use of the word "constantly” when doing so. I speak for no one other than myself. One mockery does not equal constantly.

Oh good, because for a moment there I thought you were going off the deep end with a ridiculous hot take in defense of a clone who called someone else a subhuman piece of trash that should end their life.

Just read that Hugh Douglas' son was killed in a car accident.

There is some truth to this. The constant belittling of the Phillies seems really weird. It's obviously an intent to annoy everyone else. Why do it -- repeatedly -- especially when it's unprovoked?

Eh.. it makes me want to post more Phillies updates.

JR did nothing wrong here. It was an innocent, amusing cartoon, and I failed to see how it might be construed as mean spirited in anyway. Hell, I couldn't even fathom how one person might think it was directed at him specifically.

Secondly, RR's short comment was inappropriate and misguided but I don't think it is anything close to ban-worthy.

Let's just move along and get along. We have a football season ahead of us and it's coming real soon. Let's enjoy that.

My fuzzy thoughts about Sunday's game.

I have little respect for Bill O'Brien. I think our D will handle them pretty well. They're down their best OL - Reiff - both guards are already banged up, and GB (against whom they played their starters for a half) generated heavy pressure rushing four, with two sacks, one of them a strip-sack, and GB's four is a far cry from ours. Their TEs can't block and they lack deep speed. They have one QB and a guy they picked up last week. 

NE will have to win with defense. Which they can - they have just about everybody back. Against GB they did a lot of 5-man line and mush rush. I'm sure that was in preparation for Hurts. Bringing five takes away most of the RO and keeps the QB in the pocket.

And they have two rookie kickers, so no edge there.

Having Patricia should give us a bit of an edge.

Eagles 27

Pats 17

I think you could have mush rushed Hurts into mistakes two years ago.

My suspicion is Siri plans to move away from heavy dependence on the RO this season, you have to keep Hurts upright to have any chance of getting to the SB, and having him get slobber knocked on RO plays is not the way to go. At least when he scrambles from the pocket, he's got the advantage over the tacklers, but I think some DCs are coaching players to just hit Hurts on the RO and don't worry about the ball.

Hurts is passing better than ever, he has three all pro caliber targets, and Swift and Gainwell should be targeted a lot more this season. So nothing wrong with running a more conventional offense.

You're completely off base here. I've never seen JR bully anyone, much less do it "constantly". That cartoon was about as harmless as it can get.

If JR had posted that cartoon referring to me, I would have chuckled.  Suggesting he bullies is farcical.  Everyone pokes a little fun in here.  Frankly, I have that clone on ignore because his takes are a little much for my tastes and I kind of saw the cartoon as suggesting such. Showing my age, I had no idea what the acronym meant.  If someone pushes your button, DM them and ask them to stop.  Most will. Use Ignore for the others.  It’s been relatively peaceful in here of late.  I saw @just relax’s post as an explanatory apology.  Perhaps the other guy apologized too, I wouldn’t know.  Suggest we move on.

So, nothing. But I appreciate your effort. As for your last sentence, I don’t blame you.

Remember that thread about the cap hell we were headed for? 

Well, despite the fact we are fourth in the league in dead cap we have a consensus top-5 roster.

I first posted that people have been picking on him since day one which is accurate. That wasn't to one singular person but a group of people who have been piling on. Now you're in here rehashing it instead of letting it move on
