The fact Joe D isn’t on a quest to try and discredit people who in the grand scheme of things have never done anything wrong is hardly an insult.

Megdal has been on this quest. He WANTS the Wilpon’s to be depicted as some evil family. He basically accused them of partnering with Madoff and said the trustee would sell the team.

When that didn’t happen, it’s plan B…. Amway.

Not true….
It was Fa Outcry that got Omar fired and considering the common belief that Alderson was Selig’s choice forced on them not thier own decision it is safe to say Fan Outcry could get rid of Sandy faster than you can say Omar!

Clearly Megdal has some sort of mental issues and is fixated on the demise of the Wilpons. He is like their una-bomber only instead of exploding packages he writes explosive articles. Both are destructive and undeserved. As long as people keep buying what he’s shoveling he will continue on his course because his ego is bigger than Mr. Met’s head and that’s what drives him more than the facts.

Back under control???? We all know when it spiral out of control in the shoutbox that’s for sure….we all know, specially the CORE what was the biggest mistake of the site owner… getting rid of the shoutbox and how he handle to try and have things under control there.

I completely understand why you are doing it and I am sure it will not be permanent, only until you think things are back under control.

It’s your site and you’re please to do what you want with it, i just don’t think it’s fair for the new people to come in here and see that wthout knowing what has been going on for years in here. but, that’s my opinion on the matter.. The site is the best there is, no need to have that there, just keep posting your executioner article about guidelines in here and how you’ll conduct the punishment to remind us and to inform and alert new readers. And, of course, act upon it. don’t take sides as often was the case with the IMMORTALS

“And at some point one must come to grips with the reality that the Wilpons are here to stay and that there is nothing you, I or Howard Megdal can do to change that.”

Bingo, add in Alderson FOR NOW to that list and everyone can move on.

I put that up there so that when I ban someone for inappropriate behavior or conduct unbecoming of a true Mets fan, they don’t email me to say, “Sorry, I wasn’t aware that I couldn’t call people I disagree with a piece of _______.” Hope that helps.

At first I didn’t know what to make of the “7 banned and counting” but ultimately I don’t think it’s a good idea to have that.

Wrong, fiftycent. You’re new here and I was screaming fire long before anyone else in the Mets blogosphere did

At the same time I didn’t make bashing the team and ownership my personal stake or write a book for profit that was filled with inaccuracies, innuendo and false allegations.

And at some point one must come to grips with the reality that the Wilpons are here to stay and that there is nothing you, I or Howard Megdal can do to change that.

So, in closing, you and Howard can muddle in your Mets Hot Tub, but I’m moving on and would suggest you do the same.

Thanks for commenting.

Dave, wrong…. There are still a few people here, who no matter what, they’ll never be ban, they are call THE IMMORTALS… Trust me.

I think it´s great that he posts that. If people know that they can be banned then maybe they´ll think twice before posting annoying/abusive/insulting/derrogatory stuff.

Joe D, i meant to ask you something, on the top right part of the screen, there’s a STOP sign with a No Insults, No Profanity, No Instigating sign on it, right below of it there’s a part that says 7 BANNED AND GROWING… what exactly does that mean? and if it means the people that have been banned from the site since you became the “Executioner” should you post that like that for the world to see? Just curious

It’s almost as if he needs to prove that all his earlier speculations will eventually be proven right while explaining why he was just temporarily wrong regarding his initial assessment of how the Picard situation would end up.

In any case it seems his fixation with the Wilpons waiting for the day the can’t pay their debt has reached Moby Dick levels but I know he is not alone in that fixation so as long as he has an audience I guess he will continue to write about it.

“the same old “Bernie Madoff – Irving Picard – CRG – Bankruptcy – Gloom & Doom” tirade”

Wow. Poor Howard is stuck in a hyper-negative frame of mind concerning the Mets. I guess there’s a cottage industry for that line of thought and lots of like-minded “fans” to join the fray.
