Jack,
I vote we let him stay.
Granted, he ain't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, and after that last barrage of Barfly's pictures (guy with his head up his butt...rof!), I don't think bean wants another sampling of forum artillery.
You have to admit he's a gambler and his posts are somethin' else. Like other members, I don't appreciate his rudeness. Who wants to come home from working all day and see some ridicule and sarcasm from a total stranger?
On the other hand, you take a thick-skinned guy like Nick Douglas and he plays off bean's sarcasm and makes it entertaining. That's just my opinion, Nick.
Bean likes baseball. He likes to handicap and fwiw, he provides an analysis. That's a plus.
He's interactive and his replies are amusing. That's a plus.
He's a moron and that's a minus.
He's rude and sarcastic and that's a minus.
I think the plusses are "slightly" larger than the minuses.
