Much of the action of this forum has moved over to another website!  In the "Sports" category at the 
http://www.able2know.org website, there is a topic entitled "Welcome Sports Haters!" which was inspired by our website.  The able2know forum member who started the topic even copied and pasted one of the Articles featured at our website.  Earlier this spring in a forum post, Ray called attention to a "Pyramid of Success" that a sports fan (kuvasz) had pictured and described in a post on the first page (if I remember correctly) of that topic.  I registered to become a member and started posting as "wmwcjr."  On about the second or third page, Ray posted as "MichGA."  The topic soon began to lose interest, until two intolerant sports fans (kuvasz and Cycloptichorn) harrassed and personally insulted a woman (chai2) simply because she was not greatly impressed with sports.  I started posting again with no particularly heated exchanges.  Then our most recent member i_like_1981 started posting there, and was soon personally attacked and treated in a rather demeaning manner by Cyclo (for short).  I responded by losing my temper, but I cleaned his clock.  And then Fat Man came on board as Fat Man 1951 to join in the fray.  For those of you who might think I've been too mild in our own forum, you might be pleased with what I said in response to Cyclo's cruelty; I was a bit unrestrained.  Anyway, I thought you might enjoy reading the exchanges.  I highly recommend that you take the time to read all the pages of the topic.  Some of you might want to register to become members.  Fat Man certainly found his "fresh meat" that way. 

   What's really funny is that the website has an "ignore user" function that I've used to prevent Cyclo's and kuvasz' posts from being displayed on the screen when I've logged in at the website.  That way, I don't have to put up with being personally insulted by someone who doesn't even know me.
