What exactly do you want from me regarding Elmhurst Steve? I honestly do not know what it is you think I am "ignoring." Tell me and I'll answer.
As I said, you've been brought into a situation where you really shouldn't be. You aren't in any way responsible for what some caller says on here even if you've given him kudos in the past.
However, I did find it odd that you entered the thread to tell him to bring back "his brand" when he was saying some pretty hurtful things to some of the members here. You even went further today by seemingly holding the board accountable for the tone of that thread when your "hall of fame" caller was almost completely responsible for the uncomfortable nature of that thread. You said "displaced anger". Do you mean our anger with Elmhurst Steve? That is the only way I can take it? Do you believe that no one should have been offended by this quote?

I am a very good looking, white guy (gotta add the white guy, because lets face it, most hot white girls will not date black guys and those that would I wouldn't want) who has never had any difficulty dating beautiful women.
or this one?

Do you think many fans see the lack of blacks at Cub games as some sort of problem? They draw over 3 million fans per year and sell out most every game. Perhaps the lack of "people of color" at their games is actually an asset to the team...
Are you telling us that the response of some of the posters here was "displaced anger"? I'm white, and to be honest I feel a little weird sounding like I'm offended by this. It wasn't really an attack on me. However, I thought it was classless and hurtful.
I just want to know who you blame for the ugliness of the ElmhurstSteve thread. Do you blame the board or do you blame the person who calls into your show? Do you think he was off-base for making those comments?
As I said, it's unfair that you have been brought into this but you are the one who brought it back up in this thread today.
Translation: If you could just stop liking Steve, I'll be your friend again...PLEASE???.... Purdue boy you are pathetic. He says I feel a little weird saying I'm offended-yet he says it. He says it's unfair to drag Dan into it-yet he does. You were right, the thread was not an attack on you...this is!
