> [@Gyrate](#): > > For the record, I haven’t the slightest idea who Mike Piazza is. Apparently I didn’t get “united” with everyone else at the time. Just in the spirit of knowledge: Mike Piazza was a major league baseball player, primarily a catcher, who played from 1992 until 2007; he primarily played with the Dodgers, and then the Mets. He was a star player, and is now in the Hall of Fame. In the first MLB game played in New York after a week-long pause in the MLB schedule due to the 9/11 attack, Piazza (who was then with the Mets) hit a game-winning home run. It appears that the poster in question has a deep and abiding love for Mr. Piazza, and feels that the post-9/11 home run was an epochal event which unified all people. ---

How dare neglect to mention Mike Piazza’s epic seven-day, five game stint with the Florida Marlins! It was so epic that 14 years later, they had to change the franchise name to the Miami Marlins. ---

> [@tofor](#): > > Little\_Nemo is saying, “It can’t be what they say because EVIL PEOPLE”. That’s attacking the people making the argument, not the argument i.e. Ad Hominem. Don’t attribute quotes to me that I didn’t say. I didn’t say the Republicans are proposing a tax policy that would favor the wealthy because they’re evil people. I’m saying the Republicans are proposing a tax policy that would favor the wealthy because every tax proposal they have made in the last forty years has favored the wealthy. ---
