A coup is taking over a government by force, which isn't what happened. There were protests, the president fled, and their *existing* government voted overwhelmingly to impeach the president and place someone else in charge. What else is interesting is that in the 1990's when Ukraine broke...

Thanks for pointing out a thread. I read every BF post in that thread, and saw nothing even remotely worthy of a ban. Debating other peoples opinions is exactly what this forum is about, and I saw nothing in that thread that was out of line. Compared with the direct personal attacks I see around...

So why is it then that there are some of us that don't see at all what you are describing and we read the same stuff? Maybe if you provided some examples of the 'way' she disagreed with posters that caused her to get banned, I could be educated. Like Riverman, to me her style was way less...

If I didn't want top pay for any of my kids college, I may be able to retire now (47) but it would take a radical lifestyle change. I actually like my work, but I am looking forward to when I don't have to worry about money anymore... it will make work even that much more enjoyable. I have...

Very well said. When the site announced they would be the Official Blazers Board... I thought... hey... this could be cool. Maybe we will get some new blood in here... new perspectives. Some old posters that haven't been around in awhile that I really enjoyed poked their heads up too. But...

:iamsmiling: Quick, someone find some dancing banana's, that will makes things better. Seriously though, a few Blazer wins and then beautiful rainbows will part the clouds, the sun will come out, it will be 60 degrees and everyone will run outside in tshirts showing off their winter beer...

Dude... seriously... this is all you have? People complaining about it not being 'fun' SERIOUSLY! I would bet if you shared some of those names, they'd be the exact same ones that drive some people that stumble across this forum away (not to mention some lone time posters). You could remind...

I still have a, should I say, interesting... PM from Ben Davis in my private messages.

Thanks PapaG, I think I am going with Trout. For just two years in the league his numbers are amazing. I can't wait to see what he does 3-7 years from now. He may trade some of that speed for power, but that is fine with me. Cabrera is hitting over 40 HRs and with about the same on base...

I am in a computer sim league (something called APBA Baseball), and we have 16 teams and I have the #1 pick. Brand new league so all players are available. It isn't like fantasy baseball... it is a sim where they create the 'cards' the represent the players performance after the season is over...

Agree with Charcoal Filtered... I loved Joel, but he was more one dimensional than Lopez. You can't leave Lopez wide open because he can hit anything out to 15 feet.

If Kobe comes back before the all-star game... he will have to play... it isn't a on opt-out thing. Unless he is injured they will make him show up.

I saw a 4K TV at Costco and the picture was amazing. They are working on bluRay standard for it, and once there are players and content (disks) I think it will start to take off.

Being a small market team, I don't think we will ever get the respect we deserve, and that doesn't bother me. Stay hungry, and play with a chip on your shoulder. Respect is a popularity contest... it doesn't mean anything.
