It may be in fun, but it looks serious and that can cause a problem. I've found that it's easier to just apologize later. Everyone knows I'm a smartass anyway. Right?

I had one post a year or so ago where I'd said something needlessly snarky and potentially hurtful. Someone left a comment basically implying that I was being a dick, and the worst part is, I couldn't disagree.<br /><br />The other thing I've learned - thankfully under better circumstances - is that you never know who might read your blog. I've had comments from people who knew players I'd written about, and in one case the player himself left a comment. It's probably not a problem if you're blogging about someone like Derek Jeter, but if you're writing about somebody who was on a 1975 common, it's not inconceivable that he could be Googling himself.<br /><br />Anyway, I know where you're coming from... it's sometimes hard to keep one's impulses in check, but it's usually worth the effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-25919803564150825812013-04-03T22:14:49.695-04:002013-04-03T22:14:49.695-04:00Feel free to be a smartass in the comments on my b...Feel free to be a smartass in the comments on my blog any time you want. I get lonely sometimes being the only one. <br /><br />I agree and disagree with your post mainly on the injury aspect. I think comments regarding injury need extra care to make sure they are more funny than mean. A lot of people go to the old "quit whining, you make millions and have baseball cards made of you" thing, which is just pointless. <br /><br />I really don't think Hudson was actually angry or overly emotional about the card. I think he was making a semi-sarcastic comment about the card because it is notable to him. I would imagine it serves as more motivation for him to recover. <br /><br />Honestly, I think "Praise in public, criticize in private" is crap. To draw that line ignores the actual problem. Criticism, thanks in part to the internet and anonymous commenting, has become such a negative idea. It should be "praise and criticize with value". Praise and criticism without value are both dangerous, with the former possibly being worse. <br /><br /><br />You haven't pissed me off at all at any point...though I could do without the whole Blue Jays blog emphasis. I mean, you know there are like 10-15 real teams out there, right?Spankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359644189269593175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-6589294073441893212013-04-03T21:14:59.376-04:002013-04-03T21:14:59.376-04:00Seems I could have written this same post.
