One of the largest, most influential unions in the world just received, and verbalized respect for, a decision handed down to the highest paid baseball player of all time--by an INDEPENDENT ARBITRATOR. Although this area is little more than a blip on the scale of MLB, there is much to be said for information, opinions and thoughts from some who are outside of the direct influence of the two embattled sides, i.e., one who does not have "skin in the game". Even if the bias is unavoidable, sometimes you just have to settle for a minimizing of that bias. The "outside looking in" viewpoint should always be considered along with any other...
By no means do I wish to have the opinion of someone who does not have any "skin in the game" stifled, I just want them to keep those opinions in the proper forum!
That also goes for people who
do have "skin in the game" as well!
If someone wants to make 4000 posts, always saying the same dribble, by all means-knock yourself out! Go to the legalities forum and start 4000 new topics and spew your dribble there! Your post count will go up and you won't be subjecting the rest of us to the same post over and over and over and over again, unless of course there is someone on here that wants to read the same post over and over and over and over again! To them I also say knock yourself out! Have fun.
It is kind of like someone going into a Super Target and loading up their cart with 100 packages of frozen corn and then going over to the electronics department and placing some of those packages on the shelves next to electronics items and then to the automotive department and doing the same thing...they don't belong there!!!
Keep your frozen packages of corn in your cart
or take them back to the frozen food section where they belong!
The minimizing of that bias, as you state, would be keeping these repetitive posts
in the forum where they belong.
