Day one brings vindication

All of our 1 and a half readers out there will be pleased to know that the senior member of the Terrible Twosome has already given me some ammunition for my reoccurring item.

Here's a response to Hardicourt's blog posting about covering the Brewers draft today from a man with the handle of BetterThanGlenn.

"Tommy, please, just post the names. Don't interject your opinions because we all know you (along with all the hayseeds on this blog) have no knowledge of these guys. As someone who follows the amateur scene, it's hilarious to see casual fans (and casual reporters) try to expound on these guys. Just post the names, rube."

Of course Tom being the upstanding writer that he is, can't resist taking a shot back at BetterThanGlenn in another response.

"I appreciate BetterThanGlenn telling me how to do my job, because as we all know, he's the smartest baseball man in the world.

Anyway, for those who understand that nobody covers the Brewers drafts ever year as well as I do, I'll be posting more than the names when the Brewers select them.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, if this guy really is "BetterThanGlenn," I feel really sorry for Glenn. Really sorry."

I've been around the internet for about a decade now. I think the first thing you learn when you start diving into the internet's community is that there are a few certains. Everything you can search on google will eventually devolve into a porn site listing, spammers and advertisements are a scourge on every website, and if you post something for public view that a lot of people will read, you are going to get forum trolls. Do you know how to beat forum trolls Tom? You ignore them you dumbass. They are like a two year old that hits their leg on a coffee table, if you ignore them they will go about their business, if you acknowledge that something might have happened to the child, they will notice this reaction and immediately start crying. Forum trolls tend to give up if no one ever reacts to what they post because the only reason they ever post anything is to get a reaction out of others.

Now I know Hardicourt is like 62 years old and the "interweb" is a new fandangled whosimawhatsit, but seriously man, figure it out by now... I think the reason he gets so pissy in his reactions is because BetterThanGlenn is spot on with his assessment of Hardicourt being an amateur.
