i didn't mean to chap you at all. if you feel offended, i'll send you my apology here.
actually i just hoped to tell you something that had happened to me. as you know, i'm a
very ordinary person who often says & does something wrong. as a matter of fact, i just wish to read
good comments on tennis written by a lot of intelligent persons who have plenty of experience in
this wonderful sport. however, a lot of frightening comments showed up on this board, i really feel
sad for this tennis board, in which we readers are supposed to be able to get enlightened by so many excellent analysis of the players, matches as well as what might happen in the future. hopefully this board will go back normal, letting all the reader share & enjoy what we should have.

Allez, Tsonga! Keep it up.

post 595...........you were not alone pete'best, I had a late night tennis vigil, too........sorta........lol..........I fell asleep, too and missed the whole Dementieva match. lol......I thought Li Na had a chance....NOT..........so, the sad thing is I always remember a news article about the asian man who worked himself to death - LITERALLY-.........by not getting enough sleep and he caused his heart to fail........yes, FAIL...........UM, THAT means you should listen to your husband and both of us need to carry our butts to sleep. LOL.............and we are watching the CHINA OPEN..........OMG, signs, kharma.........do we need any bigger hints?.....LOL..........so, the Tennis Channel shows matches on Sat. at 6AM and Sun 7Am......which I can easily record and sleep in late. YES!

NightWing:
no wonder i haven't seen your post. great!!!!!!! that means you've decided to leave something alone. eventually i think i can read your marvelous comments on TENNIS again. come on! show us your knowledge & intelligence.
once when i've read your conclusion: anything can happen, it made me think about the situation rafa got through in fo & what kim experienced in uso, i decided not to make prediction anymore, because it would be totally different from what one expects. certainly, if for fun or keeping the topic vivid, that's pretty much interesting & joyful; otherwise, ................. do you think so?

All...Heavy hitting tonight y'all.

I have wondered that (about NW) a LOT..as I quite obviously have a vested interest & and probably am not an impartial poster either, although I do "try" to stay equatable. Huge difference, yes?
Just really puzzling~the entire scenario.
Watching some "Live scoring" again last night, but fell asleep and my husband says I'm burning the candle at both ends, but it's better than just pacing & waiting for the "call" which should be any day now.
Truth, how IS Venus doing??? Don't read (find) as much about her. I'm hoping she's taking good care and healing, she was another one of the "year's end" wounded warriors..Get better Venus :-)

RE: #593

Nadal is playing in Beijing. Del Potro lost in Tokyo. Not sure what your logic is.

With Del Potro out, Nadal might pull this out. Good win for him.

post 590............""""""We should also know that criticisms of the Williams sister do not equal racism.""""""""............WHO is WE?...............any hubbub that takes the time to post their evil sh!t about Serena and Venus' just because they can surely has motives...........what they are doesn't matter.............but all evil needs to survive is for good men to do nothing...........still can't figure out why the good guy NightWing gets so much SPAM from do nothing/say nothing posters...........wow.

holy taco burrito nacho cow,,, chilian taco is out in the first round at smelly sneaky sushi open???? mayb sushi and taco r bad combination.....what happened to the tacos fatal 4hand??? how did he crush the flamingo taco, nadal and that swiss nacho and win the us open??? nothing makes sense anymore,.. u mean anybody can beat anybody in tennis, now??? borg the greatest ever, would never lose in the first round , ever... adinaro

Nightwing, you profess to be against racism, hatred, etc. but based on your post, I see a whole lot of hatred spewing from your posts. Barry is totally weird and totally racist so just ignore his posts. All these long, long insulting blogs has nothing to do with tennis. So what if there are racists out there. We all know that. We should also know that criticisms of the Williams sister do not equal racism. But when you stoop so low with all these insults, rather than just argue/discuss the points, then all reasons are lost.

All I can say is you guys sure provide some good reading entertainment during my break. Could we get back to tennis please.

Congratulations to Serena being #1. She is, in my opinion, the best woman tennis player currently. Hopefully Safina will become mentally stronger and win that slam one of these days.

Nadal is playing and up one set to love against Baghdatis....would like to see this match.

Not a good day for JM Del Potro.........hopefully, better match next time for him.

post 580..........."""""Wow...calling her Sybil seems a bit...inadequate...now. Sally Field's Sybil only had 13 personalities...Sybil's shown up here with at least NINETEEN at last count...""""..........LOL........TOO TRUE!............you know, NightWing, Serena rarely plays these tourneys now, so I don't EVER have a read on her, so if she sees a challenge, she will fight on, and so whether she wants the #1 ranking or not (now that Safina is OUT) will determine if she fights on until the end...........otherwise, she's on 'cruise control' like paco says............I hope she takes this title, though.

..NightWing..if you want peace in the valley..just comment about tennis...no personal attacks..no vile and vulgar language...for me..i made comment on a tennis article and the reader perceived i was of the caucasion race..next thing i know..i got you ,truthsayer,our convert friend,delores,karen,paco..attacking me just because of the color of my skin...me..beleiving in whats right was not going to let that happen..once the Agenda of the paticipants were known..you call yourself crusaders..defenders of the black race..freedom fighters......racism..however does not have a color.....if you want to change the world..do it in the right way..stand up and be proud..be a positive role model..bring no shame or disgrace upon yourself..don't fight like a terrorist..or you become what you most hate in life..look in the mirror everyday..to see if you still recognize that person..unless you hate what you see..then you will explode with rage and hatred in your eyes and take it out on who ever crosses your path..choose not to be that person..rise above it..be a better man..

586 I have no interest in being pleasant or affable with you, EVER! Why, you may ask because you approached me first and did so again tonight but while you have this pseudo-concern about race and homophobia, you have no problem putting down others. And little did you know that I have been through and visited Appalachia. It is one of the most blighted areas in the country. Some of the inhabitants do live in trailers and up in hollers. They can't afford anything else since the coal mining industry is depleted and jobs are few. You have the audacity to think because you are defending another race that you can ridicule and post your racist hatred. In your mind, it is okay but to others it may not be...and it not okay with me. And cut the crap about the homophobia...I think because I figured you were gay, you tried to turn it around on me. Let's just say...you gave me good gaydar.

I am not going to share with you my real personal life and quite frankly you come across very skittish on these blogs. Oh, you can have decent conversations about tennis but then you a switch goes off and you become this fiend that will not leave people alone. You have been asked to stop but you don't. And whatever name you want to call me, feel free. Names don't bother me. Hypocrisy and deceptive people do. And you are one of them.

So pull the wool over people's eyes all you want. You are starved for attention. Short Dodgers party..hmm...hate to inform you the Yankee or the Red Sox are going all the way. You are no worse then Barry because you write your rants over and over. I will not be civil with you bottom boy. And if you think you are outplaying me...think about the conversation you had with the woman with the three children. That one was so hilarious. It is fun to create characters because I know what a little sheep you are. Just ask yourself...who is playing who? I think that is why carry on so much because you are a control freak.

p.s. poor Serena she barely got by another lowly player in the first round of the China Open.

Theo/Post # 5856: Wow...WOW. You are amazing and incredible. I would be SO willing to "bury the hatchet" with Barry/Chris/Michael the ArchAngel and ViewPoint/Right To Speak/Done No More/Done For Now/Just Me, if only to make this a better board for you to post.

I'll clear out for a few days (although I will SORELY miss reading posts from Truthsayer, Paco, Karen, Pete'sbest14, Delores, Johnp (JOHNP IS SO AWESOME!!!), KM and from others) and see what happens here. Besides...my Colts are 4-0 and my Dodgers have won the NL WEST DIVISION CROWN AND HAVE EARNED HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE THROUGHOUT THE NL PLAYOFFS!!! WHOO-HOO!!!

Hopefully, you will be able to do what I couldn't do with my Ball Peen Hammer; clear this board from racist diatribes, psychotic liars and hate mongerers.

Let's see if others are willing to smoke the peace pipe as well... :-)

#569 just me
i'd like to tell you the truth. actually both nightwing & me have discussed or argued several issues of tennis online before, although there were some differences between us, in my opinion, his knowledge of tennis is marvelous & convincing. it doesn't seem that something unhappy has happened to me, or he would attack me by using what i've said. that's because we are talking about tennis under the condition of mutual respect & understanding. certainly we agree to disagree. as regards the subsequent complicated situation which showed up in front of all the readers, what i can say is terrible, incredible. as far as i know, someone are really 'well up' in cursing, writing dirty language or sending out the comments full of invective. i was astonished to know why they have no respect for others. i do believe all the guys writing comments here are mature grown adults with higher education, but doing things like under-educated little kids do, even worse than them. why???? i can hardly figure it out. maybe politeness & mutual respect are totally forgotten, even one's noble status, dignity & postition have been tangibly/intangibly or intentionally/unintentionally put aside too. that would be a huge miserable thing in mankind.

...NightFreak..keep on drooling...
