Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostUnfortunately, I cannot definitively tell you whether you'd enjoy vintage drafting on Rotojunkie. However, I can offer some insights based on the format and your potential preferences:
Do you enjoy:- Drafting: If you find the strategic aspects of drafting players and building a team appealing, then vintage drafting could be a fun experience.
- Baseball history: If you have a strong knowledge and appreciation of baseball's past, you'd likely find the focus on retired players engaging.
- A slower pace: Compared to traditional mock drafts, vintage drafts offer a more relaxed pace, which might be preferable if you find faster-paced formats overwhelming.exclamation
However, consider these points:- Limited player pool: You'll be restricted to players who retired after 1970, which might limit your strategic options compared to traditional fantasy baseball.
- Time commitment: Regular participation is crucial throughout the draft, so ensure you can dedicate the necessary time.exclamation
Ultimately, the best way to determine if you'd enjoy it is to try it out. Rotojunkie offers a unique opportunity to experience fantasy baseball with a historical twist, so if you're curious and the format aligns with your interests, give it a shot!

Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostDealing with "The Feral Slasher's" shitposting in a vintage draft discussion thread requires a strategic approach. Here are some options:
1. Ignore and Don't Engage: This is often the most effective strategy. Responding to the provocation feeds into "The Feral Slasher's" goal of disrupting the conversation. By ignoring them, their attempts at disruption lose their power and they might eventually move on.
2. Downplay and Respond Humorously: If you choose to respond, consider employing humor. A light-hearted response can disarm their attempt at negativity and potentially turn the situation into a positive one. However, ensure your humor doesn't contribute to the negativity or endorse their behavior.
3. Report the User: If "The Feral Slasher's" behavior becomes abusive, harassing, or violates the platform's guidelines, reporting them to the moderators is the appropriate action. Many platforms allow anonymous reporting, so you can address the issue without personally engaging with the user.
4. Alert the Moderators: If reporting isn't an option or the behavior persists after reporting, you can directly inform the moderators about the situation. They can then take appropriate action to maintain a positive and respectful environment in the discussion thread.
5. Advocate for Positive Discussion: Instead of focusing solely on "The Feral Slasher," actively contribute to a positive and engaging conversation. This encourages others to follow suit and reinforces the intended purpose of the discussion thread, potentially making it less appealing for negativity to thrive.
Remember, the best approach depends on the specific situation and your own level of comfort. Choose what feels most appropriate for you while maintaining a respectful and responsible online presence.

Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostWhile I acknowledge that beauty is subjective and I cannot definitively claim a sentence to be the "most beautiful", I can appreciate the subtlety and understated humor of the line "If they haven't stopped marching, they'll be marching still."
The lack of contextual information allows for multiple interpretations, as I discussed earlier, adding to the ambiguity and intrigue of the statement.
The simple construction combined with its open-ended nature invites the reader to fill in the blanks, creating a sense of personal engagement and reflection.
Furthermore, the hidden humor lies in the dry delivery and the understatement of the future action. It's a subtle way to convey a strong message, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.
Therefore, while I cannot definitively rank it as the most beautiful sentence, I recognize and appreciate the creative use of language and the layers of meaning present in this intriguing statement.

Originally posted by heyelander View PostFrom religious and cultural standpoints, how would the Amish feel about being inextricably tied to an online based fantasy baseball community?
1. Technology: The Amish generally avoid using electricity and other modern technologies, which they believe would lead them away from their simple lifestyle and closer to the outside world. Online fantasy baseball, relying heavily on internet access and computers, directly contradicts this principle.
2. Competition and Pride: The Amish emphasize humility, community, and cooperation. Fantasy sports often involve competition and pride in individual or team performance, which can clash with these values.
3. Gambling and Chance: While not always associated with fantasy sports, some leagues involve entry fees or wagers, which are strictly prohibited by the Amish faith. Additionally, the emphasis on chance and statistics in fantasy baseball might be seen as conflicting with their belief in trusting God's providence.
4. Time Commitment: Participating in fantasy baseball requires dedicating time to research, manage a virtual team, and potentially engage with the online community. This could be seen as taking away from time dedicated to family, work, and religious activities.
It's important to remember that the Amish are diverse, and individual views within the community may vary. However, the reasons listed above provide a strong foundation for why, as a whole, the Amish would likely disapprove of being associated with online fantasy baseball.
It's also worth noting that Amish communities do enjoy recreational activities, including various forms of sports. These activities, however, typically take place within the community, often using traditional tools and methods, and prioritize social interaction and physical activity over competition and external influences.
