Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Jon's other site:
Screen Jam
TV and more ...
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 of you who care ... I'm welcoming entertainment chat back to the comments of Dodger Thoughts.
The time I'm devoting to this site as well as Season Pass at Variety has made keeping things going at Screen Jam challenging. The traffic is so far down at the latter site that I end up having to tell readers at Dodger Thoughts about a new post if I want them to see it. So I've begun cutting out the middleman and referencing my entertainment posts here. Screen Jam might make a comeback at some point, even get a sporadic post if I really think it mucks up the works here, but for now, much of its content will fold into Dodger Thoughts or Season Pass.
I apologize to those who might find the return of entertainment chat distracting, but I hope you can understand the dilemma. I hope it goes without saying that the Dodgers will remain by far the top priority at Dodger Thoughts.
