The best TP:Post ratio was in the Ray Allen Boston Globe thread.  The dude that posted the link had 10 Tommy Points and one post.  I think his name was something like CIMIT.

Take THAT FLCeltsFan...

I had a really good ratio at the beginning, but I had a lot of TPs taken away by a venomous poster in the early days because of the heated discussion in a "Darrent Williams is Dead" thread.  Since then I've never gained any steam.

wish i could do a split between psots at work and posts at home.

at work, i tend to stay short, and just blast through posts, leadin gto spelling errors, at home i get time to write things out link sites, so i tend to make better arguments.

My propensity for trying one liners, which i stink at, hurts me too, i tend not to get a TP. one liners/short posts are like my high and out fastball, can't hit em, love to swing at em  ;D

And to think, I started that thread and I got butkus!

a) how can you take tommy points away? b) who took them away?

The original TP set up included 'take one'.  The high level of whine from unnamed posters created more stress around here then needed.  It was scratched.   


Now, this is a positive karma only feature.

The old TP system used to allow people to both give and take points.  I believe it was changed because Tommy himself doesn't believe in taking points.  He's only a giver.

It was another poster who I don't believe is still around.

My version sounds better :P

Inside information, BS.  There was the same thread being started about TPs every sixteen hours or so.  It was like a Bill Simmons column came out every day.  :)

I think I've gotten mine down to 12.1 posts for every TP. Of course several here put me to shame.

Hey Rebus, here's one.
Only two more until you'll be
in the "100 Tommy Points" thread  ;)

Well, that the last time I give out 'inside information' around here.   >:(
