I don't know if anyone on here posts on Braves-Nation.com but that place sucks! I only found out about that place because I saw a link to it from someone I talk to on Twitter. I went to the board and found out that a group of people I talk to on Twitter all post on that site. I thought it would be cool.

But it only took me a little over a week to leave there. Every post I made on there got ridiculed and bashed and twisted around to fit whatever opinion they wanted it to fit. Just a bunch of guys around there circle-jerking each other and outsiders are unwelcomed.

This is not just an overreaction on my part to them disagreeing with my opinions. I can handle that fine. I just won't put up with being talked at and bashed and talked to like I don't know a damn thing and that everything I post is wrong even though it's just an opinion. So there's no need to even waste your time trying to post on that board if you aren't already a regular poster. Nubies be damned.

That site has been garbage for years. I was a regular on the official forum for a long time but it's filled with a mountain of trolls over the years. Thankfully the Scout.com forum is filled with people who are mostly respectful and very knowledgeable. The mods also keep trolls far away.

Out of curiosity I went to look at some of your posts on there. You were clearly dealing with idiots that have no idea what they're talking about. I noticed one guy didn't like BJ's first half last year. I guess he missed Bourn's 2nd half.

Yeah. That idiot with the Selig avatar always started arguments with me over nothing and said I was the one starting the arguments and acting like a baby with them and crap. Also said I couldn't substitution JUP's production in place of Bourn's because one's a left-fielder and the other is a center-fielder. WTF?

Oh and these idiots said just the opposite of Scout. They said Scout was nothing but trolls and such. Pretty much BN from what I gather is a site full of negative nancy's and anyone with a homer attitude (such as myself) will be put to shame. I don't wanna be a part of a place like that.

AU, I still like Braves Nation (gave you a shout out there) as there are a few folks that really know their stuff. However, the culture can get pretty ridiculous so I rarely post.

Don't know another braves forum so that's what I use for Braves info and analysis. A few other blogs are good, but I don't know of any forums.

Thanks. It was mostly just 3 guys that were the problem. But 3 guys can ruin it for all.

Really? You would think they would have loved that as negative as they are.
