Event 2018 NCAA March Madness

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

As I’ve stated several times Zach and Meyers are not even close to the same player, it’s like comparing a mountain of dirt to a river of water. The simple eye test shows that one has fluid movement and high basketball IQ while the other is stiff and robotic with zero basketball IQ. They are both white though.
 
Okay clearly sarcasm and jokes don't play here. I was invited cause it's a fun place to talk about the game. But if this is any indication, y'all are crazy.
Your posts look exactly like someone stating an opinion.. most people don't make jokes that last 3 paragraphs, and look like real opinions, especially on one of their first posts when nobody knows their humor. If everything you said was a joke, then that's strange, but so be it. I thought we were, as you say, discussing the game?

Don’t leave dude, there are tons of users with many different views. I’m sure some of your posts opinions are shared by others. A lot of people do have a hard time picking up on sarcasm around here, many use green font to make it easier for people that don’t pick up on it. Anyway, welcome.

Neither dirt, nor water, are white!

Wait, so you're saying that me taking a post filled with opinions as serious is me having a hard time picking up sarcasm? You took his post seriously too. His posts were worded in a way that appears as the exact opposite of sarcasm.
 
Haha I'm in Oregon, never lived anywhere else. I hate Seattle teams. Don't know why you think I'm from Seattle but hey it's a day of assuming crap about me.

Have a good night.

Welcome to S2

How did you come up with your screen name, if I may ask?
 
It's some opinion, and some sarcasm.

Opinion: I don't like Zach. I don't think he's Meyers.
Joke: Zach is lanky and white, like Meyers.

Opinion: The Blazers have a history of drafting project players. Zach is an overhyped project.

Fact: They also drafted Dame and C.J

All I hear about is how good Zach did (Backing up am undrafted center) in ONE game. I admit it's hard to pick out, but I assure you were we speaking in person, tho you may have differing opinions you would have known which was which.
So you don't like Zach. How the hell am I supposed to know that you talking about his whiteness and being like Meyers is a joke WHEN you obviously don't like him? Jeez.

Their projects have a good history of working out under Olshey. The only one that didn't was Meyers, so how is drafting "project players" a bad thing?

We aren't talking in person, which is why I usually don't use sarcasm on here, and if I do, I make it obvious (Green font = sarcasm).

So because the only thing you here is some uneducated rhetoric, you don't like him? Or is it his skillset?
 
Less Than Zero means negative. Telling.

I’m not saying you took anything wrong, I just remember coming in here bashing on CJ and getting lit the fuck up, so I understand where he’s coming from. I don’t agree with his opinions but having more people with different opinions isn’t a bad thing.

I was told by a friend here, you guys call yourselves the zeroes, it was meant as a humility thing. But the Bully aptly named after a drugged up MMA fighter turned me off to this page. Hope you all have a good time here.

Rip City, Go Blazers.
It was a joke. Bully? How am I bullying you? And I'm not named after Jon Jones. You insulting my name is bullying.

I'd implore you to stay, but I can't make ya. Hope to see you back soon. We're all actually really nice here.

I better not see any replies to "Yeah, he's so nice he gives reach-a-rounds".

You fucks.
 
Wow well you'll get your wish, I'm not staying around here with you here. "MOMMY HE DOESNT AGREE WITH ME, I AM SCARED OF THE DIFFERENCE." Congratulations you just hated on another OPINION s



Nevermind, you'll get what you want, I don't have time to deal with people like you, I questioned even joining. You answered it.

You can walk around with pride knowing that you bullied someone out of the group. Good job. Pat on the back. <-- not green not sarcasm.

If this is how you great opposite opinions I'm not missing anything.
Lol, you come on here stating something about skinny white guys in a negative light, comparing Collins to Meyers because of skin color, then get mad at ME because somehow it should be obvious that it's a joke? And then I try to have a basketball conversation with you, asking if you don't like him because you heard someone say he was "drafted because of one good game where he backed up an undrafted center" (which is uneducated), or if it was because of his skillset. But you can't move past the fact that your very-real sounding bias against white players wasn't taken as a joke. That's not my fault.

What I said about you're name was a joke about you being negative since you came in here with a negative, troll-like sounding first post. If you can't handle a joke like that, this might not be the best place for you.

You're acting like your getting attacked for your opinion... The only thing that I didn't like was the statements that apparently were a joke but was silly, trollish, and bashing Collins because of skin-color. So alright, I accepted that, and was trying to have a conversation with you by asking you why you didn't like Collins, but you freaked out.

I appreciate it, but no, it's not worth staying.

I've deleted all but a couple posts, and will delete this and the other couple and figure out how to delete my profile completely tomorrow. Thanks

You're welcome back any time. Sorry you had a sour first impression.
 
Someone tell me where it's obvious he's joking here:
"Watching the Loyola-Chicago V K-State game, it has me wondering, who will the Blazers target to overvalue and trade up for as their next foundational player? I'm watching to see if any back ups have 1 good game. Or to see if there's a skinny white guy that they can over hype. So far no luck. I'm sure one of these guys can average 4 points."
I mean, maybe if we knew the guy, bust as a first post? Seems like a troll-ish, shit-talking post based off skin color. And this dude wants to blame others for his "joke" not being received well. Lmao.
 
Haha? You're the reason you hypocrite. Bash my name then when I bash yours you get insulted. You made it this crazy thing. My opinion wouldn't really matter to you, because it's not your opinion.

So be happy, you bullied someone today, good job.
So I'm supposed to take a rhetoric of "I watched a college game with some white players which made me wonder which overrated skinny white guy will we overvalue next, just like Collins (because he's white)" as a joke, but me joking about how "Less Than Zero" means negative is turning this into a crazy thing, while you freak out because that first quote in this post wasn't received as a joke? And I'm the bully? Hah.
 
I figured it was obvious the Blazers aren't specifically looking for white guys and the fact that it wasn't 1 literal game and that oh I don't know I am a white guy myself (which I'm aware you don't know) maybe someone might read it with some shred of sarcasm, I didn't know about the green font thing. Just trying to have fun you ruined it. Good night.

You are very welcome here, sorry if things got off on the wrong foot.

There was actually a lot of posters that complained about the Blazers drafting someone who was white. There were people who legitimately compared him to Meyers. People rant about crazy stuff, I don't know what your stance is on things because you're new. When you come in here and make a first post that reads like a rant on skin color, you can't blame people for not liking it.
 
No it's okay, I'm glad it happened day 1. It would be harder to leave if I met that guy after I had befriended some of you. It's a good thing really, he saved me time.
I'm glad I could help you see that this forum isn't right for you. I hope you find a forum that meets all your needs and entertains your "jokes" on race.
 
At least @HCP can say that I "bullied" someone off the forum! I know it's coming :D

Bones, there have been 1000s of jokes about white players on here. WABC? He made a pretty solid post,

"Watching the Loyola-Chicago V K-State game, it has me wondering, who will the Blazers target to overvalue and trade up for as their next foundational player? I'm watching to see if any back ups have 1 good game. Or to see if there's a skinny white guy that they can over hype. So far no luck. I'm sure one of these guys can average 4 points."

and this is how you respond?

Oh god. Hopefully this dude doesn't stick around long.

You don't try and have a conversation with him, you just want him gone?
 
And he gets his wish. Thanks Sly.

When we first drafted Collins I was thinking very similar to you, oh great, another Meyers. And while Collins has only scored 12pts x2 it's his defense and blocks that have impressed me. I think he's going to be a much better player than Meyers. It's pretty impressive that he's pushed Meyers out of the rotation.

I don't want someone around that views race in this light. I always had a problem with Mediocre Man for this reason, and we'd say stuff as egregious as "I hope this doesn't stick around" (which isn't that egregious), and none of it was every a big deal. If this was a real opinion, then it's extremely negative, wrong, and trollish, and a negative thing for the forum. I know some agreed with me as some liked my post.

But since he says it's a joke, I have no problem with him, other than the fact that he's overreacting to someone misinterpreting a "joke" for what could very easily come across as a serious, trollish post. If this dude has this type of reaction towards someone taking a "joke" about race serious, then he wouldn't be able to handle the jokes and razzing that HCP would give him (and HCPs gotten much better in that regard). Afterwards, I tried to have a basketball conversation with him and joked about his name in the same light he was joking about race (I guess I could've made it more obvious I was joking, but that's my point, he could've too). I'm not sitting here freaking out on him for taking my post "seriously".
