I'm glad Barrett was able to get one last interview with Brandon before he died. Of lupus.

My daughter has a preliminary diagnosis of Lupus, and you know this because I posted about it to you yesterday. If you posted this to get a rise out of me, well, it worked, as it is totally disgusting.

Why not make fun of cancer? Or Down's Syndrome? Those are big laughs as well.

Make fun of me if you want, but mention my daughter's disease again as a slam toward me, and we're going to have issues.
 
It seemed like a mixed bag report to me. While it was good for him to talk about stuff, it still seemed there was doubt in his mind about this situation.

Don't worry, I will.

I'm guessing he used lupus because it always seems to be mentioned early in the show House as a possibility, but nobody ever has it. But if we can make this about PapaG, that works, too.

I wouldn't call it bizarre at all.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree; or maybe I didn't use the right word. Instead of "bizarre," I should have said "not normal for most professional athletes who have long, healthy careers." Of course, most professional athletes DO NOT have long, healthy careers, but I honestly would rather an injury be something acute than chronic.

To me, a chronic issue means you get to watch someone on a slow slide to irrelevance, and there's nothing that can be done. That's how I take it, anyway.
 
Barfo was obviously making a joke about the show House and how lupus is always brought up as a potential diagnosis.

And I just happen to see this post on twitter by a lady from the Lupus Awareness Foundation or something to Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy.

RT @LALupusLady: Please "use Lupus" on Family Guy. Raising Lupus Awareness is fun/funny!

if you "use Lupus" to raise Awareness & get a laugh in the process ~ i don't have a problem with that!

Not saying she speaks for everyone who has been affected by lupus.
 
No way Roy is lying it can't be true Jason Quick told us to be worried so I'm worried

Barfo made a Lupus joke yesterday. That's fine, but I let him know afterward that I have a 7 year-old with a preliminary Lupus diagnosis. I open up a thread this morning to see barfo "joking" about Lupus again, and this time related to death. I can only assume that he did it to get a rise out of me, which is fine, but I take issue with him using Lupus as a "joke" the next chance he got after me letting him know about my daughter. I don't find it funny, and I find mocking posters for illnesses that their children look to have distasteful at best, and sick-minded at worst. If I could ignore the guy I would, but unfortunately, somehow this sick guy is a "Producer", and I have to read his crap, because I find 99% of the other posters here fun to engage, debate, or agree with when talking about the Blazers.

As for Seth MacFarlane and "LALupus Lady", that's well and good. I just found it douchey for barfo, someone that I communicate with, to make light of a very serious illness when he KNEW that my daughter sees both a nephrologist and a rheumatologist for what is wrong with her.

That's all. If I am overreacting, it is only because barfo knowingly brought my daughter into whatever imagined beef he has with me. I'm still pissed about it, and when I tried to PM him, all I got back were snarky insults about "taking him off of my XMas card list."

Fuck it. Karma is a bitch. Slamming a poster is fine, hell, I do it quite often, but I found what he posted to be over the line. If I am in a minority in that view, I'm completely fine with that, because I would never mock his kids the day after he let me know about a serious illness that one of them may have.

I think we all know kids are off-limits. Serious illness usually is, too... but when it's kids, there's really no two ways about it. I agree with you, but I'm new, so I'm sure nobody gives half a fuck of what I think, and that's fine by me!

It's fine. I know who he is now, and that's really a plus for my blood pressure when trying to deal with this disease as a parent. This place is an escape, or was at least.

Let's talk about the Blazers! Sounds like Roy is starting tonight. Will anybody be watching any other player on the court? :)

I'll be watching Wes Matthews, because his welcome is wearing thin as he continues to do nothing of what we paid for.

Oh, and I'm also watching L.A. as he continues to work on a post game, which makes em very happy.

As I've told you, it aint about you, and it certainly isn't about your daughter. Pretty sure I know what my intent was better than you. Go ahead and be pissed though, I wouldn't want to take that away from you.

Actually, about Matthews, it seems he is suffering ENTIRELY from the 3-point. Every other stat is where it should be, but his 3-point % is 17 points from where it should be, and his overall field goal percentage is down 6 points.

Come on, Wes!

I notice that he seems to be shooting a lot of threes where he looks to be off-balance. He looks as if he just needs to take his time to get his feet set and squared up on the shot.
 
I'm with ya as well BGrant, no over reaction IMO, trying to be funny or not Barfo was way out of line - can "producers" get banned, IMO he should.

Let's review, shall we?

1) I make an innocent joke involving lupus.
2) PapaG says his daughter has lupus.
3) I say "I'm sorry about your daughter" <---- showing a little sensitivity
4) PapaG says "No you aren't". <----- being an ahole

Lets not and just squash this drama before it takes on a like of it's own. Even if you didn't mean anything by it just apologize to Bgrant and move on.

No, no, we need a replacement for the MIXUM thread. More drama drives more page views, which makes more money for Denny.

But I'll let the board decide. See poll in OT section, coming soon.
