Don't understand all of the denisdman discontent. He did beni a favor. Went to his home to pick up some stuff, and laughed about stoopid bored stuff about his home and a few other unmemorable topics. Then talked as anyone does on a driveway...family, dogs, baseball, kids and a hectic life schedule. All around good guy.

If he made sick money you would never know it. He'd be more interested in sick kids. Biggest flaw that beni read may be he tried to give more detailed explanations using himself as part of example. So his communicative style wasn't humble enough for some? Must have rubbed a few wrong and he should have said less? Just a little surprised by that. The last thing the guy beni met was interested in doing was give beni the ol "Hey buddy, look at me and what I got".

beni will stick with using third person as an unfortunate communicative approach.

Dennis is a good guy. But we all have to live with our board memes.

You know it’s funny how this place works. Someone who drops in and reads what you posted would nod his head and presume I am a big time dbag. But I have made 16k posts here over 11 plus years. So yeah, I’ve said some stuff.

Here’s a sample of how I have disclosed that stuff.

Travel baseball. So we have a discussion about the value of travel sports. We go back and forth, and of course I advocate for the value of travel ball. Then someone in an effort to counter my argument asks how much it costs. Then when I disclose that, it gets used against me for years.

Pulte. That came up in the discussion about the lack of recovery in home prices in Chicago vs other aeas. I posted a listing in my neighborhood as an example of what a home is going for vs what was paid back in 2003.

My car. That was in the IMU auto thread. I am passionate about cars, and I love to talk about German cars. But I guess that’s off limit from two thirds of the board leaders too.

Private school. Much like travel baseball, I am a big believer in charter schools and private education as a counter to poor quality public education. My experiences as someone who went through local public schools and universities along with sending my kids to private schools gives me plenty of firsthand knowledge.

For me to engage in discussions about these things, yes, I have related way too much of myself. I apologized several times in this thread. But frankly, fuck it. I am sick of the judgmental pack around this place. The CFMB mob is a whole lot of not fun. Even when you bow down and say sorry, it just keeps throwing it back in one’s face.

Ogie sorry. I am done now for good.

Like most of us some guys say things and they are not intended to be problematic. You kind of have to try pretty hard to dislike Dennis.

Dennis is a drama queen but I don't think anyone has said they didn't like him. He didn't like being poked so he announced that he's quitting the board AGAIN for like the 10th time. I'm sure he'll be back.

For the record, beni is pleased that the subject bearer of this thread is getting less ink because of this sideshow. Two shits will never be given for him or his thoughts after his little move here a few years back.

I made the big screen for Game 6 of the NLCS. #NeverForget

four corners putz good sir. You were here when the putz played a little 'love you guys' act to get himself on some 670 writing gig right?

so many beautiful people on the big screen.

ohh no! humble brags everywhere. heavens to murgatroyd where art thou humble police? Stop it now or face the wrath of the CFMB proper police.

I've also been seen sitting behind home plate a few games. Kirkwood and others have joined me down there.

Nas - was that just you or did I get some face time?

You're taking this really hard.

Negative good sir. Seems a little hypocritical, but the fact remains beni is gonna get his post count back up to 2.7 some way some how.
