    I appreciate this thread (more or less) returning to its topic, but are we ever gonna hear back from the white supremacist?
    He's posted in other threads which leads me to believe more that he knew what he was doing. He's generally trolly and annoying but I didn't realize we were dealing with this.
    white supremacist?
    What did I miss?
    Buck dropped a strange 88 on Page 4 and it hit a bunch of us the same way. Check it out.

    aaaaand hes been banned.  Glad the ten club doesnt tolerate that crap, even *wink *wink dogwhistle shit.
    Given the context of the comments, there was no doubt of the meaning. We went from burning Bruce's albums to MAGA to 88.

    Well, call me naive, but I had not heard that before or if I had, I never retained it. He's been here awhile, I doubt it's a permanent ban. More of a timeout. Usually reserved for the AMT...
    It's a hopeless situation...

    that is not what he intended - geeez


    He last posted on the forum an hour ago, meaning he had plenty of time to clarify what he meant. (he posted that comment mid-morning).

    Instead he chose to leave it out there and let people speculate. That was dumb.

    Glad the moderators acted and that I (narrowly?) avoided being banned, as well.

    It's so much more widespread than we think. 

    Anyway...price for Baltimore is right in line with what I paid for Fenway in 2018. It's a lot but a few times every few years is something I'm willing to do.

    The only way the OP's argument holds water is if you just woke up from a 25 year coma.

    I had to wade into the online white supremacist shitshow a couple of years ago (hence the 88 throwing up an immediate red flag). It's horrifyingly widespread and profoundly nauseating.

    I don't know what his intent was, but based on his history he probably knew. On the other hand, I guess I was in a coma...

    I was hoping he'd clarify, but he didn't. Unfortunately, his posting history doesn't lead you to assume the best possible interpretation.

    Exactly - one can think of many things hard to imagine in 1995:

    Smart phones; Clinton getting impeached for getting blow jobs from an intern; Sept. 11 and two endless wars; digital music; the Giants, Red Sox and Cubs all winning the World Series; the near-death of rock music; the continued popularity of Maria Carey and Celine Dion; my hair turning gray; social media; and not least, President Donald J. Trump.

    So, the fact that PJ tix are more expensive than they were, when they're still way cheaper than the market would bear and way cheaper than one would pay for similar seats at a Springsteen, U2 or whatever show, is not something I'm too troubled by. 

    Okay, now time to go watch Friends and listen to Alanis Morrisette...

    Speaking of 1995...  My PJ stubs from San Fran ($23.50) and San Jose ($12.45)...  "Sponsored By No One"...

    Service fee for TM 2020 was $23.50 per ticket, the same as an actual ticket in 1995. How about that?
