I still follow him on Twitter. He’s political, which is of course his right. He really cares about traffic circles and sidewalks.

He started a site years ago after leaving. I believe It was Orioles Anonymous or something like that. JTrea was devoted O’s fan and brought quite a bit of comic relief.

He was definitely good at being a troll. The only one that I’ve read that imo was better was Bobby Jr. on the old Sunspot forums.

IMO, the operative descriptor for Triple O was obnoxious. Ain't The Beer Cold!

The other thing I really hated about him is that he’d flare up like a bad case of herpes when the Orioles were doing bad. Ugly loss? He’d be there. A few losses in a row? He’d post a lot saying I told you so. Jackson Holliday off to a bad start? He was all over that. 

 

There's a couple of those around here.  But I won't name names.

But thanks Tony.  The less trolls the better.

This poor guy was even telling the truth!

I, for one, will miss his comments on the attributes of elite Quidditch players.

I don’t remember you ever starting a thread announcing a banning before!   Though there have been many.  

I figured people would want to celebrate. We haven't had a person reported this many times since when Sports Guy would go on a rules violation bender back in the day!

This new watered down version of SG is way different. Anyone who’s started posting here since he originally left doesn’t know how good we have it

I will kind of miss being able to remind Mr. Know-It-All that he thought HRs counted more towards OBP than singles or walks until like 2 weeks ago though. That really seemed to get under his skin...

Seems the same to me.   Seriously.   Same old, same old.    Does watered down mean calling someone a POS?    That’s not fooling the moderators, is it?

Now now, this is a celebratory thread, not one to pick another battle. 

While SG can have his days like the all the rest of us, he's much better than the early days version. 

You guys have learned to coexist by pretty much just not replying to each other. That's probably all for the best. Both of you are good posters that bring a lot to the board, even if that comes with burrs sometimes!

He was a Colts fan.  Not sure if you all knew that. 

Right. He thought it was weird that we were all Ravens fans.

Yeah, I certainly understand that POV. I was trying to be fair even though I did not like him, and actually had it out with him behind the scenes. 

In the end, I refunded his plus membership for no other reason that I never want to think I took a dime from that yahoo. 

Losing money to get rid of him was well worth it to the community.

Thanks Tony.  I think it's good that you give people a fairly wide latitude, but one of the things that makes this place so enjoyable is that the rules are enforced.  On other boards, it's like Beyond Thunderdome out there.  I'm all for giving people multiple chances, but that guy was just insufferable.

Not bikini Armstrong?

LOL, I don't remember that one.... Rebolutet's Stach and JTrea come to mind, and there were a couple others I don't immediately recall.
