A tiny request regarding columnists

Can you please show some respect to columnists (ex: Mike Berardino and Dan Lebatard). I am not saying you can't disagree with something they wrote at all. Feel free to, I've done it myself.

I am merely asking that you show them respect as fellow human beings.

There were several comments lately that went over the line and it's not right because on the off chance one of the columnists saw the posting -- he would ignore your comments of why you disagree because you went for an offensive insult and/or would be unable to defend himself when you did.

Thanks for your courtesy. It's just baseball... remember that. A guy and his family do not need to be insulted over a baseball column.
