Notice Addressing the drama in the OT section this weekeend

[Chris Craig]

Have you had any Venezuelan rum? My wife is Venezuelan so I hear pretty often that the best rum in the world is from Venezuela.

I've had Pampero Aniversario, Diplomático, and Santa Teresa 1796. Santa Teresa was the best.

No, I'll have to try it

 

[Orion Bailey]

why do you care so much about your name being cleared on an anonymous forum? holy hell, no wonder HCP gives you shit. People take this place too seriously.

Y'all really post direct messages to each other gossipping about other posters? All my DMs are for streaming links, and I've been here much longer than you. Clearly not doing this forum thing correctly.

The most you are going to get out of me on this is how much bs this post is. So because you don't want to socialize on a personal, level many of us are wrong for wanting to do so?


Now I get why you blasted me in DM for simply messaging you and stating don't take me serious when we butted heads many years ago. you blasted me for simply following the mods advise.
Not everyone is like you man. Some people care how they come off to others and reach out to make sure they aren't being offensive...
Some people like to meet up and hang out with other, like minded posters.
But you van blast that too I suppose.

I mean, really, what was the point of this post other than to fan more flames?

@Orion Bailey
Looks like I owe you an apology - you actually realized the joke could go too far and backed it down.
@bodyman5000 and 1
Fuck! What the hell hell wrong with you?

if nothing else, the Lanny shot was way too far, the egging on of the HCP plot takes the cake.

 

[The Professional Fan]

@THE HCP

1. I have not been here for too long, but I have not once, not one single time, read something The HCP wrote and thought, "That guy is bullying that other guy." Because isn't he just kidding around all the time? Like all the time? I mean, I guess joking can be bullying, but it is literally all in jest! This is surely a case of some serious misreading. My default is to joke too, so maybe my perception is skewed.

I have been here for a long time. Was part of the BBNET migration and it has always been crystal clear to me that HCP persona needed to be taken with a grain of salt. Like, it's beyond obvious. I'm reading through this thread (and other threads where he's being bashed) and I simply don't know what world these people are living in.

Side bar: whoever actually reported him to the blazers did is a piece of shit

EDIT REASON: came across more info in the thread so I removed a statement

Well, I already admitted the PM was vile. I will also admit I'd probably do it again if this happened again...

The response that infuriated me was edited but the original version was left in my quote. This one...

If someone my own age said that to me in person they would meet tons of people with higher education. Nurses, doctors and the like.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Oh and I basically said the same shit in that thread as I did the PM

tlongII Official Judgement:

1. HCP and Sly overreacted to body’s poorly conceived idea to alert the Blazers organization.
2. body should quit drinking.

3. OB - On the charge of poor grammar you are hereby found guilty as charged and are sentenced to public ridicule for time already served.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Sarcastic to a fault. I wanted the guy's expensive car to be taken care of so I sent him a pm asking about where he took it to get it fixed

So am I. But I check it when I’ve had conflict with someone.

May I approve your post with a double-duh?

I thought many folks here were dumb, and I get bad for feeling that way, but this situation makes me feel justified in my feelings.

You are clearly a better person.

Well, I kinda liked your public post. It’s fair given the post directed your way and was clearly in jest. Dunno what you said in PM, tho. But your public response to a keyboard cowboy was fair, IMO. But I won’t say much beyond that (other than I think that dude is tempting fate).

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Nah. I’ve stepped over boundaries plenty of times. This is a vacuum or microscope. I’m above pretending I’m perfect and without flaw.

I have a real problem with escalating things. For example if someone says something rude to me I will respond with something like "and that is why your momma is a bitch"

I got picked on by highschool kids when I was in 4th grade because I was big and poor. Happened until the first week of my freshman year and some 11th grader was lighting my jeans on fire at the ankle while I was sitting on the bus. A split second after I realized what he was doing he was being choked out and pushed half way into the seat behind him.

I had gone through puberty that summer. I had just turned 13.

Hey, I thought we dropped this shit. You take shots at me and I could take shots at you but I don't want to. I want to go back to normalcy. How about it?

 

[yankeesince59]

May I suggest it is time to let this corpse rot in piece?

C'mon man...can't do that because it would make way too much sense.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

This thread has turned into one collective attention whore.

You say that like it didn’t start out that way...?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It’s become rather clear why Sly chose to be a dog, as SPD.

He’ll continue to take a beating all day, yet he comes back with nothing but love like nothing bad happened. And then he takes another beating. Only a dog does that.

My dogs are little monsters and I've never laid a hand on any of them.

They look like u beat a normal dog if I leave them in the backyard for 3 extra minutes when it is below 65 degrees.

Don't you just hate people with lots of love? Ugh.

I think most dogs would prefer to be inside at the feet of their master. When I was a boy, our German Shepard would look for the most traveled spot in the house and then plop himself down right in it's path so you had to step over him to get anywhere. If he had to be outdoors, he would settle on the door mat in front of the front door. The whole family loved him and he would have gladly died defending us.

If he was smart like me, he would just take a dump on every one of your pillows.

Good on you. This is what adults do.


And this is the fundamental issue I have with some posters and mods now.

I've been told, "we are all adults" in a condescending way, as if I'm not one.... lol.

These very people defend HCP.

So I ask...(Not to you directly BG, but to the forum in general, and I don't expect an answer because of the biasedness of some here)

If adult "A" jabs at adult "B" and adult "B" tells Adult "A" they don't care for it and to leave them alone, What is the mature adult response?

1. To respect the wishes of adult "B"?

2. To continue to jab and poke at adult "B" from thread to thread?


The only one not acting like an adult, not giving respect to other forum members, blazer fans, is HCP. The very fact that mods and posters try to ridicule some as juvenile, or immature in the face of HCP's antics, is incredibly hypocritial.

I don't care if Adult "B" is showing thin skin, or a lack of sense of humor. One adult asked another adult to stop and they didn't. Instead they doubled down on their behavior.

This behavior was supported by some mods and members of this forum and those same defenders tried to imply that Adult "B" is acting like a child.

This is the issue with this forum. Soo much glaring bias that is dismissed with a blind eye, its pathetic.

I agree the situation you describe would be very frustrating. Serious question: if you have HCP on ignore, how is he attacking you? Is he doing it through PMs or something? That doesn't sound like the HCP I have interacted with in this forum for years. What you perceive as bias is, in my case at least, more a matter of being baffled. HCP and I have needled each other many times - but it has never been mean-spirited. I am honestly puzzled.

I have never had a conflict with HCP except for the fact that he's a Lakers' fan and I hate his guts for that. Oh come on, j/k.

I've never ignored anyone other than Cup and that was only for a couple days. I tried once with HCP, but at the time, he was posting in so many threads it made it difficult to follow and track.

Also, to be clear, I was down for joking with HCP too, but he never once made it clear he was joking, only other people speaking for him(which is annoying in its own right), but then the DM's went to shit when I initially reached out with an olive branch. They were tossed back in my face publicly implying that I was stalking him. That's when I started not listening to anyone else about him joking, because I don't think he was with me and he NEVER did anything to make me think otherwise.

Now for the record, the "following in threads and doubling down" was more of what I witnessed him do to another member that made it clear he didn't want to be messed with. HCP STILL messes with this guy. Its just wrong.

That's a shame. To me, you have both always seemed like good people.
