Zoid, he seems to have at least opened a dictionary, do you think he's been shaken enough to see that he really could be accepted?

Z, I like the rules you set forth in your 
on Sanmi a bit ago. However, I'm afraid I've been in violation of one of those rules at least a few times. Therefore, I've altered my signature so that will never be an issue again.
I'd hate to set a bad example for potential Browncoats out there.
... or would i? 
No, really. I'd hate it.

I certainly hope so. I'd hate to think we were shunning a neophyte simply for being naive and ignorant of etiquette.
But I'm still betting sanmi77's a 'she', not a 'he'. The style and content are all wrong for a male misfit. I think that she's making a genuine effort to make herself more palatable, by drastically reducing her misspells/misuses. I'll address her disuse of punctuation at a later date, once things normalize a bit. For now, she's at least understandable; I'm seeing improvement.
If this was a 'nugget' clone or multiple personality, the spelling would be getting worse not better, and there'd be a lot more name calling, instead of just complaining about being misunderstood. And the name calling wouldn't be limited to the forgivable "you people"; it'd be specific and vulgar.
We'll just have to wait and see if Humility is part of her repertoire. If so, there's some hope for her becoming one of us, and I like new voices. If not, then she will undoubtedly continue to get punished until she finally just quits...
Respectfully,
zoid

Heh-heh, we all have (myself especially). Know what happens when we do? We get ignored or
'ed, that's what.Everyone digresses somewhat here on the GenDis board. That's what makes it 'General Discussion', and that's why it's my home. None of us are single-minded, and everything ties together with everything else.
That's why I love this place...

As much as I respect Zoid, I must say this. . .
"Flaming" a troll (which, I believe Sanmi is NOT) has no effect save to give the flamer a small ammount of smug satisfaction.
See. . .trolls surround themselves in an air of superiority to those being 'trolled'. Our flame-a-rific responses to them only feed their egos and give them more to chew on.
I see similar behavioral traits in my students (middle school). These individuals are convinced that everything they say is right and that they know more than everyone else.
For the love of God. . .if you have a problem with another poster, folks. . .IGNORE that poster. If they ARE a troll, you're only feeding the beast. If they are NOT a troll, you're making us look like trolls ourselves.
It's SO EASY to NOT READ something.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt. I believe in them, even if they don't believe in themselves. I'm a hopeless romantic that way. And I'm an unstinting believer in the power and hope of Redemption.
I'm a lover, not a hater. That's my secret; don't tell anyone...

Your kind advice was very...uh...kind of you. I hope things work out with Sanmi. She reminds me of someone on the OB, but her name was Cronogir, or something like that.

It's going to be in Glendale, west of Phoenix. They've really developed that side. It used to be all cotton fields and farming. Here's a look at the design...

There are Cardinal fans out here but it's sad that most people who go to the games go to see the other teams. The Cowboys are very popular here so that's one of the few times they sell out.

Agreed. Don't feed the trolls. Since we don't currently have a 'report post' button, just e-mail Haken or myself via our profiles and if someone is indeed trolling, we'll move the threads to Troll Country (or delete individual posts as needed).
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Beatle:
Are you happy with the new stadium's design? On the positive side, the interior view is reminiscent of Bank One Ballpark's 'daylight' outfield. The outside view has got a little too much 'circus tent' going on, IMO.
But if the fans are happy, who am I to grumble? And ultimately, it's not about how it looks, it's about whether or not it entices fans to attend games and whether or not it serves the fans' needs for comfort and identification with the team. As long as the stadium says "Home of My Team, the Arizona Cardinals" in the fans' minds, then it will be a success.
v/r,

Shiny:
So who was responsible for leaving "ask ndugu" on the GenDis board, rather than flushing it to Troll Country? It was a total flame-fest from beginning to end. No socially redeeming commentary.
As I told Mal-Licious in a personal message, I don't chase 'em into Troll Country; but if y'all leave 'em out here to abuse good folk, I'm gonna rip 'em a new one, every time...
Respectfully,
zoid
P.S.
It's still not too late to act on that request, either. I don't particularly want "ask ndugu" on GenDis' "Read Threads That Have Been Archived" page either, yet, there it is. That thread belongs in Troll Country, period.
