1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with
For those who were less than enthralled with Bill Plaschke's Tuesday column in the Times on the hiring of Dodger general manager Paul DePodesta, "With Luck, the Dodgers Won't Crash", Aaron Gleeman more than sympathizes. And he's got the research to back it up.
For another take on DePodesta, catch up with Jay Jaffe of The Futility Infielder today if, like me, you're still running a few days behind.
