Poll: Is Tango too tough on his peers?

By Tangotiger, 11:59 AM

Dave Fleming had an interesting comment:
“...Tom Tango, posts here sometimes, usually to give Bill [James] a hard time. “

And, that’s basically true.  I took it as a compliment actually, but, who knows, maybe Dave meant it as an insult.  (I don’t care how he meant it, so no need to apologize or whatever for it.) It’s just one of those things that can be given, or taken, either way.  It has a certain artistic flavor to it.  “Great, he gives Bill James a hard time.” or “A--hole gives Bill James a hard time”.  Works either way, depending on how much you would like Bill James time to be given.

Anyway, I’m interested in how you perceive how I conduct my business.  I’m not going to change mind you.  I’m just interested on the perspective as to how you perceive my interactions with the baseball analyst community.
