This isn't a trick question, I'm just making sure you've been consistent, because I can completely see your point... but want to make sure you supported the other thread in reverse as a consistent principal that people should stay out of stuff if they don't like it. After all, I saw quite a few people immediately jump in and criticize the strikeouts thread.

One thing you're missing about the Derek Jeter thread, Vin Scully thread, etc... those threads haven't been discussed over and over for two years. I'm not saying that justifies not being able to talk about it (I can't emphasize that enough). But it's one thing to talk about Derek Jeter for 2 days until the topic cycles off the front page and continually bumping a thread dedicated to a player's career for two years constantly after his leaving. And again, so I can emphasize this: I personally don't think it shouldn't be able to be talked about. But I definitely see how it would annoy people just as it annoyed people when the strikeout thread was up.

Guess what? A lot of stuff annoys a lot of people here. It's my experience that people come to the defense of stuff they like and complain about stuff they don't. It's nothing against you personal, because we're all guilty of it, but I would be willing to bet sometime at some point you've complained about some topic being discussed or something being said. Yes? We've all done it.

Isn't the easy solution if you dislike a topic or thread to ignore it? It's not hurting anyone or anything and this thread has been a good discussion for the most part.
