Soap for the mouth
Non-sports post.

He’s referencing my account at Fangraphs, which I had not checked all week. I just went there and the PM was sent 3 days ago and says:

Now, normally, had I read this PM first, I would reply immediately, at least sending him to the right place to find an answer. No email is beneath me.
However, his followup message, rather than presuming that perhaps I never read his message, not even guessing that perhaps I might even be on vacation, or otherwise busy, went into his crapfest.
I can only guess that this is a kid.
If someone wants to craft the proper response, presuming this is a child, I will direct him here.
